Abstract

We study how the multiplicity of the Fermi surface affects the zero-bias peak in conductance spectra of tunneling spectroscopy. As case studies, we consider models for organic superconductors κ−(BEDT−TTF)2Cu(NCS)2 and (TMTSF)2ClO4. We find that the multiplicity of the Fermi surfaces can lead to a splitting of the zero-bias conductance peak (ZBCP). We propose that the presence/absence of the ZBCP splitting is used as a probe to distinguish the pairing symmetry in κ−(BEDT−TTF)2Cu(NCS)2.
