Abstract

The Kohn-Luttinger mechanism for superconductivity is investigated in a model for the electron-doped cuprates. The symmetry of the order parameter of the superconducting phase is determined as a function of the geometry of the Fermi surface together with the structure of the electron-hole susceptibility. It is found to remain dx2−y2 wave within a large doping range. The shape of the gap anisotropy evolves with doping, with the maximum gap moving away from (π,0), in good agreement with recent experiments. As the shift of the maximum increases, a crossover to dxy symmetry is found.
