S and D Wave Mixing in High $T_c$ Superconductors

Abstract

For a tight binding model with nearest neighbour attraction and a small orthorhombic distortion, we find a phase diagram for the gap at zero temperature which includes three distinct regions as a function of filling. In the first, the gap is a mixture of mainly dd-wave with a smaller extended ss-wave part. This is followed by a region in which there is a rapid increase in the ss-wave part accompanied by a rapid increase in relative phase between ss and dd from 0 to π\pi. Finally, there is a region of dominant ss with a mixture of dd and zero phase. In the mixed region with a finite phase, the ss-wave part of the gap can show a sudden increase with decreasing temperature accompanied with a rapid increase in phase which shows many of the characteristics measured in the angular resolved photoemission experiments of Ma {\em et al.} in Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8\rm Bi_2Sr_2CaCu_2O_8
