Abstract

The momentum dependence of the superconducting gap in Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8 has been studied using high-resolution angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy with nonpolarized light. The size of the superconducting gap obtained at several points on the Fermi surface shows a linear dependence with respect to the gap function of the dx2−y2 wave defined as 0.5|coskxa−coskya|. This suggests that the anomaly in the superconducting gap observed with polarized synchrotron-radiation light is not intrinsic, being probably due to the superstructure of the BiO plane, and rather the strong anisotropy of the superconducting gap, like the dx2−y2 symmetry, is intrinsic.
