Abstract

Raman scattering in the heavily overdoped (Y,Ca)Ba2Cu3O7−δ (Tc=65K) and Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ (Tc=55K) crystals has been investigated. For both the crystals, the electronic pair-breaking peaks in the A1g and B1g polarizations were largely shifted to the low energies close to a half of 2Δ0, Δ0 being the maximum gap. It strongly suggests s-wave mixing into the d-wave superconducting order parameter and the consequent manifestation of the Coulomb screening effect in the B1g channel. Gradual mixing of s-wave component with overdoping is not due to the change of crystal structure symmetry but a generic feature in all high-Tc superconducting cuprates.
