Abstract

We report resonant electronic Raman scattering in optimally doped single layer HgBa2CuO4+δ (Hg-1201) and trilayer HgBa2Ca2Cu3O8+δ (Hg-1223) single crystals. Analysis of the B1g and B2g channels in the superconducting state of Hg-1201 advocates for a gap having d-wave symmetry. In addition a resonant study B1g pair-breaking peak and the A1g peak suggests that the A1g peak is not directly related to the d-wave superconducting gap amplitude. Comparison with trilayer Hg-1223 demonstrates the universal behavior of this two energy scales in optimally doped cuprates.
