Abstract

The energy gap, susceptibility, electronic specific heat and its coefficient in YBa2Cu3O7 have been calculated with BLYP and ROBLYP exchange-correlation function in density functional theory on a cluster model of unit cell of 39 atoms. The 3 dimension figures of HOMO at different temperature have been calculated with Gauss-View. The results show that there are 3 characteristic temperature: Tc, T* and T0 in YBa2Cu3O7. Pseudogap has been found in the normal state. Superconducting energy gap and pseudogap are d-wave symmetry.
