Abstract
We report electronic Raman scattering measurements on out-of-plane disordered Bi 2+ x Sr 2- x CaCu 2 O 8+δ . With increasing out-of-plane disorder, the critical temperature T c is significantly suppressed, but suppression of the superconducting gap energy is observed only in the nodal region. Our experimental finding advocate the two-gap scenario that the origins of the nodal and the antinodal gap are different.
