Abstract
Although high temperature superconductivity was discovered in 1986, the mechanism of its interaction (has been) remains a scientific mystery. In this article, the authors present a theoretical model and find the solutions of (the keys for) the self-consistency equation in simple cases. Research results allow to affirm that the coulomb repulsion along with other types of coupling (electron-phonon interaction and spin-fluctuation interaction) play an important role in determining the value and symmetry of the energy gap in copper oxide high-temperature superconductors. The competition between these types of interactions explains d-wave symmetry and extended s-wave symmetry that have been observed in many experiments, and also shows unusual forms of symmetry with vanishing and appearance new nodal lines of energy gap.
