We report results of an angle-resolved high-resolution photoemission study of strongly overdoped Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+x single crystals with T-c similar to 60 K. We find a nonzero superconducting (SC) gap along all three high symmetry directions in the Brillouin zone, in contrast with a d-wave scenario of high temperature superconductivity. Our data indicate that both the maximum gap value and the gap anisotropy decrease with overdoping. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
