Abstract:
We report experimental observation of Bardasis–Schrieffer-type s-symmetry collective mode in the d-wave high Tc superconductors. The mode persists above Tc in the pseudogap phase of the underdoped superconductors — direct spectroscopic evidence of the correlations in the particle–particle channel above Tc.
