d-wave Superconductive Gap and Related Observables of PuCoGa5
The real-axis formulation of the Eliashberg theory has been applied to PuCoGa5, assuming d-wave symmetry
and phonon-mediated pairing. Here, we present the calculated temperature dependence of the
superconductive gap D(T) for a freshly prepared sample, and the variation of D(T = 2 K) with increasing
impurity scattering rate. We also present the calculated energy dependence of the quasiparticle density
of state, together with the corresponding normalized tunnelling conductance at T = 4 K. These quantities
could be compared with future tunnelling experiments that would also lead to a direct determination of
the spectral density function. Finally, we show that the normal phase resistivity can be well reproduced
up to room temperature assuming electron¿phonon scattering within a two-band model.
