Abstract

We show by non resonant effect in HgBa2CuO4+δ (Hg-1201)and by Zn substitutions in YBa2Cu3O7-δ (Y-123) compounds that the fully symmetric Raman spectrum has two distinct electronic contributions. The A1g response consists in the superconducting pair breaking peak at the 2Δ energy and a collective mode close to the magnetic resonance energy. These experimental results reconcile the d-wave model to the A1g Raman response function in so far as a collective mode that is distinct from the pair breaking peak is present in the A1g channel.
