Abstract

We performed Raman scattering experiments on superconductivity-induced features in Bi₂Sr₂(Ca_1-xY_x)Cu ₂O_8+δ (Bi-2212), YBa₂Cu₃O _6+x (Y-123), and Tl₂Ba₂CuO_6+δ (Tl-2201) single crystals. The results in combination with earlier ones enable us to systematically analyze the spectral features in the doping range 0.07≤p≤0.24. In B_2g (xy) symmetry, we find universal spectra and the maximal gap energy Δ₀ to scale with the superconducting transition temperature T_c. The B_1g (x2-y2) spectra in all three compounds show an anomalous increase of the intensity toward overdoping. The energy scale of the corresponding peak is neither related to the pairing energy nor to the pseudogap, but possibly stems from a symmetry breaking transition at the onset point of superconductivity at p_sc20.27.
