Abstract

New break-junction tunneling data are reported in Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ over a wide range of hole concentration from underdoped (Tc=74K) to optimal doped (Tc=95K) to overdoped (Tc=48K). The conductances exhibit sharp dips at a voltage, Ω/e, measured with respect to the superconducting gap. Clear trends are found such that the dip strength is maximum at optimal doping and that Ω scales as 4.9kTc over the entire doping range. These features link the dip to the resonance spin excitation and suggest quasiparticle interactions with this mode are important for superconductivity.
