摘要
From the electronic specific heat of Y0.8Ca0.2Ba2Cu3O7-delta we determine the delta-dependences of the condensation energy U(0) and the superconducting and normal state energy gaps Delta(0) and Gamma. The data supports d-symmetry for both gaps. Although Delta(0) increases with delta across the entire series, a rapid increase in Gamma similar to 940(delta-0.2) (K) results in a peak in U(0) at delta similar to 0.25 and the suppression of U(0) and T-c in underdoped samples. We conclude that the normal state gap results from competing singlet correlations and not precursor superconducting pairing.
