Superconducting Resonance and paring symmetry in electron-doped cuprates

The magnetic excitations in the superconducting electron-doped cuprates are studied in the framework of spin-density-wave description. The superconducting resonance is a natural product of the superconductivity due to the opening of d-wave gap. Its resonance energy exhibits well linear scaling with superconducting gap as $E_{res}/2Δ\sim 0.6$, quantitatively consisting with the experimental discovery. This ratio is insensitive to the selected parameters, manifesting its universality. Another lower-energy peak below resonance energy is predicted when the hole pocket emerges due to suppression of spin-density wave. We further verify that the ratio of linear scales is intimately related to the pairing symmetry. Distinct ratio can be found with respective pairing symmetry. In comparison with the inelastic neutron scattering data, the monotonic d-wave superconductivity is the most likely candidate in the electron-doped cuprates. Furthermore, we proposed a new method to check the pairing symmetry by the inelastic neutron scattering measurements.
