13. Magnetization, ARPES, and STM measurements consistently suggest the value of the superconducting coherence length of about ten times larger than the lattice constant ξ□10ξa, far exceeding the coherence length in BiSCCO ξ□2ξa. In particular, magnetization studies of optimally doped Ca2-x Nax CuO2 Cl2 (Ref.) suggest the value of upper critical field Hc2 =16.9ξT which corresponds to the value of superconducting coherence length ξ0 =44Å. From the average gap magnitude Δ0 □10ξmeV observed in the STM spectra (Refs.) and the nodal velocity of □ vF =1.8eV □ Å (Refs.) one obtains ξ□57Å while the diameter of the vortex cores seen in STM (Ref.) is also of order 50Å□10ξa.
