Abstract

The Raman scattering experiments were carried out in Zn-doped and Zn-free Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+y with optimal hole concentration below and above T c . The energy of pair-breaking peak in the B 1g Raman spectrum, corresponding to the magnitude of superconducting gap 2Δ 0, is suppressed by 1% Zn-doping. In the normal state, the B 1g Raman spectrum for Zn-doped sample shows no pseudogap behaviour, suggesting that the pseudogap is strongly smeared by Zn-doping.
