Assimetria no GAP dos supercondutores de altas temperaturas

Abstract

In this work, we study the properties of the high-temperature superconductors to analyze its rich phase diagram. We use the tight binding model within a mean-field formulation. The choice of the above model is due to its relative simplicity and also to verify the extent upto which it can provide satisfactory qualitative results. We use the tight binding model including terms upto second nearest hopping to study. These new superconductors in the underdoped and overdoped phases. We consider the charge density wave with d-wave symmetry (DDW), as a possible explanation for the pseudogap in the underdoped phase. The phase diagram of the cuprates are analyzed. We calculate some properties of these new materials, such as the chemical potential and specific heat and compare with other theories and experiments that attempt to explain superconductivity. We will also observe, to what extent the theory of mean field approximation is applicable.
