Abstract
On the basis of an electronic model with separable attractive interaction, the precursors at high temperature and strong coupling of the d-wave superconducting state are investigated in the one-particle spectral function and the total density of states with the use of the self-consistent t-matrix approximation. In the low-density region, it is found that a gaplike structure at the Fermi level appears in and above the superconducting transition temperature. It is shown that the pseudogap energy scale is determined by the binding energy of the Cooper pair.
