Internal structure of preformed Cooper pairs

Abstract

In order to obtain information about the internal structure of the preformed pairs in the pseudogap state of high TcT_c superconductors, we calculate the propagator of a singlet pair with center of mass coordinate r\mathbf{r}, and relative distance ρ\pmb{\rho}, by solving the Bethe-Salpeter equation, representing the sum over repeated two-particle scattering events due to a distance dependent attraction. We define then a ``pair structure function'' gP(P,ρ)g_{P}(\mathbf{P},\pmb{\rho}) that depends on the internal distance ρ\pmb{\rho} between the partners and on the momentum P\mathbf{P} of the pair. We calculate this function both for a local potential and ss-wave symmetry of the order parameter and for a separable potential and dd-wave symmetry of the order parameter. The influence of the center of mass momentum, strenght of the interaction, temperature, density of particles and of the pseudogap in the one-electron spectrum is studied for both cases.
