The role of g-wave pairing and Josephson tunneling in high Tc superconductors

Abstract

The implications of the two-pocket Fermi surface for macroscopic quantum phenomena are considered. We demonstrate that in the case of the two-pocket Fermi surface the g-wave pairing is closely related to the d-wave one. As a result two macroscopic condensates arise. The Josephson tunneling for such two-component system has very special properties. We prove that the presence of the g-wave does not contradict the existing experimental data on tunneling. We also discuss the possible ways to experimentally reveal the g-wave component.
