Influence of the charge concentration on the density of states in a two-dimensional superconducting system

Abstract The gap and the density of states of high- T c superconductors have been a subject of paramount interest. In order to explain the observed experimental behavior several pairing mechanisms in high-temperature superconductivity have been considered, by theoretical calculations. In this work, within the BCS scheme, a two-band model with energy band overlapping is introduced. The gap parameter and the density of states in a two-dimensional superconducting system are studied as functions of the charge concentration. This model is applied to Bi2212 in order to obtain numerical results.
