Superconducting Gap, Normal State Pseudogap and Tunnelling Spectra of Bosonic and Cuprate Superconductors

We develop a theory of normal-metal - superconductor (NS) and superconductor

• superconductor (SS) tunnelling in bosonic superconductors with strong attractive correlations taking into account coherence effects in single-particle excitation spectrum and disorder. The theory accounts for the existence of two energy scales, their temperature and doping dependencies, asymmetry and inhomogeneity of tunnelling spectra of underdoped cuprate superconductors.
