Abstract

A 2004 paper of Anderson and Ong calculated the asymmetric coherent spectrum of point-contact tunneling into a Gutzwiller-projected superconductor. We here correct some details of that paper and present recipes for the manyquasiparticle, incoherent spectrum, the major portion of which results from the spin-flip decay of the injected quasiparticle. An illustrative example is shown.
