Abstract
We report the results of electronic Raman scattering in Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ (Bi2212) and Tl2Ba2CuO6+δ (Tl2201) high-Tc superconductors with variations in the oxygen content. Near optimal doping, both materials show gap anisotropy, with 2Δ/kBTc values of 7.2 ( B1g) vs 5.8 ( A1g) in Tl2201 and 8.5 ( B1g) vs 6.2 ( A1g) in Bi2212. However, overdoped samples exhibit a symmetry independent gap with 2Δ/kBTc ranging from 5.2 for Bi2212 ( Tc=57K) to 3.9 in Tl2201 ( Tc=37K). We compare the data with calculations using both isotropic s-wave and d-wave order parameters.
