We have used angular resolved photoemission to measure the angular dependence of the superconducting gap in highly overdoped Bi2212 (Tc=65K). While the node at 45 degrees is conserved, we find substantial deviation from a first order d-wave…
Elastic forward scattering can lead to an anomaly in the ARPES spectrum of the cuprate superconductors. Here we discuss how this anomaly can be used to provide a measurement of the superconducting gap Delta_k for k values away from the…
We investigate the superconducting phase in the K(x)Ba(1-x)Fe2As2 122 compounds from moderate to strong hole-doping regimes. Using functional renormalization group, we show that while the system develops a nodeless anisotropic s+- order…
We report first-principles calculations of the k- and T-dependent superconducting gap Delta(k,T) in MgB2 and its manifestation in various measured quantities. Because the Fermi surface has disconnected sheets with different electron-phonon…

We study time reversal symmetry breaking superconductivity with $\Delta_k = \Delta_{x^2-y^2} (k) +e^{i\theta} \Delta_{\alpha}$ ($\alpha = s$ or $d_{xy}$) symmetries. It is shown that the behavior of such superconductors could be {\em…
YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_7$ (YBCO) exhibits a large anisotropy between the $a$ and $b$ axes in the CuO$_2$ planes because of the presence of CuO chains. In order to account for such an anisotropy we develop a Ginzburg-Landau (GL) theory for an…
