Universal behavior of the BCS energy gap
Abstract
We consider the BCS energy gap (essentially given by , the BCS order parameter) at all temperatures up to the critical one, , and show that, in the limit of weak coupling, the ratio is given by a universal function of the relative temperature . On the one hand, this recovers a recent result by Langmann and Triola (Phys. Rev. B 108.10 (2023)) on three-dimensional -wave superconductors for temperatures bounded uniformly away from . On the other hand, our result lifts these restrictions, as we consider arbitrary spatial dimensions , discuss superconductors with non-zero angular momentum (primarily in two dimensions), and treat the perhaps physically most interesting (due to the occurrence of the superconducting phase transition) regime of temperatures close to .
