Pairing symmetry in the cuprate superconductors is an important and controversial topic.
The recent development of phase-sensitive tests, combined with the refinement of several …

The formation of bound states at surfaces of materials with an energy gap in the bulk
electron spectrum is a well known physical phenomenon. At superconductor surfaces …

We report directional tunneling and point-contact spectroscopy measurements on the
{100},{110}, and {001} faces of YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7− δ single crystals at 4.2 K. The conductance …

Theoretical results for the ab-plane tunneling conductance in the d-wave model for high-T c
superconductors are presented. The d-wave model predicts surface bound states below the …

Data from ab-oriented YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7/I/Cu tunnel junctions are presented. Self-assembled
monolayers form the insulating tunnel barrier, I. The YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7 features in the tunneling …

The electronic states near a surface or a domain wall in the p-wave superconductor are
studied for the order parameter of the form px±ip y-wave, which is a unitary odd-parity state …

This review is an up-to-date snapshot of the current situation in studies of materials with
competing electron spectrum instabilities, namely Cooper pairing, on the one hand, and …

We develop a theoretical formulation of nonequilibrium superconducting phenomena,
including singlet and triplet pairing, which is especially well suited for spatially …

Within a scattering framework, a theoretical study is presented for the spin-polarized
quasiparticle transport in ferromagnet–d-wave-superconductor junctions with {110} …

We have performed a detailed study of the tunneling spectra of bicrystal grain-boundary
junctions (GBJ's) fabricated from the high-temperature superconductors (HTS) YBa 2 Cu 3 O …
