Spectral properties of doped bilayer cuprates at finite temperatures

Recently, angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy measurements on Bi₂Sr₂CaCu₂O_8+δ, which possesses two CuO₂ layers in the same unit cell, have yielded very interesting results. For the overdoped samples, these results show a splitting of electronic states near k=(π, 0) point of Brillioun zone. On the other hand, no splitting is observed in the underdoped samples. In view of this, the detailed studies including the doping and temperature dependence of the spectral properties become desirable. In this paper, we consider cuprates possessing two CuO₂ layers per unit cell. Each layer in the system is described by the t-t ¹-J model and the two layers are coupled via an intrabilayer hopping term (t _⊥) and an intrabilayer exchange coupling (J _⊥). A self-consistent perturbation approach is used to calculate the electronic spectral function for different values of hole density, hole momentum and temperature. We find that the imaginary part of the self energy is strongly momentum dependent which contradicts the suggestion that the Fermi surface of cuprates may be described by marginal Fermi liquid theory. We have calculated the spectral function for various values of intrabilayer parameters t _⊥ and J _⊥. For larger values of intrabilayer interactions we observe the splitting in the quasi-particle peak at k=(π, 0) which is in agreement with the recent observations. The splitting is also found to be sensitive to the hole concentration as well as the temperature of the system. We have also discussed the reasons why the splitting is absent in underdoped bilayer cuprates at low temperature.     

Effect of electromagnetic environment effect on coherent and incoherent Cooper pair tunneling in superconducting C-SET

Cooper pair tunneling in voltage-biased superconducting C-SET structure is discussed with emphasis on the electromagnetic environment effect based on the self-consistent microscopic theory of Coulomb blockade in C-SET. It is shown that coherent Cooper pair tunneling survives only in the low impedance limit where charge fluctuation is large, while incoherent Cooper pair tunneling survives in both low- and high-impedance limits.     

Staircase magnetization anomalies in superconducting Pb/Au bilayer films patterned with antidot lattices

Superconducting Pb(x)/Au(25 nm) bilayers (x = 50, 100 nm) patterned with antidot lattices exhibit various matching field anomalies depending on experimental conditions. Magnetization peaks at applied fields H = n[20 Oe] (n = integer) resemble superconducting wire network data; cusps are also observed, consistent with predictions of “giant” vortices in low-kappa films. Sharp “staircase” anomalies spaced by 1–3 Oe are observed in AC magnetization, possibly a result of depinning of intermediate state domains, or macroscopic quantum tunneling between reproducible states of different quantized flux.     

Bose-Einstein Condensation of Photons and Photon Pairs

We investigate the Bose-Einstein condensation of photons and photon pairs in a two-dimension optical microcavity. We find that in the paraxial approximation, the mixed gas of photons and photon pairs is formally equivalent to a two dimension system of massive bosons with non-vanishing chemical potential, which implies the existence of two possible condensate phase. We also discuss the quantum phase transition of the system and obtain the critical point analytically. Moreover, we find that the quantum phase transition of the system can be interpreted as second harmonic generation.

Asymmetric superconducting gap and DDW state in high-Tc cuprates

The asymmetric gap superconductivity is considered in orthorhombic high T_c cuprates. Recent experiments predict an anisotropy in the gap where |Δ(0,π)|> |Δ(π,0)| and the gap node deviates from the diagonal direction toward the k_x axis. The temperature dependencies of the specific heat and penetration depth along the a and b directions are calculated for the anisotropic gap superconductors. However, the anisotropy in the penetration depth can be consistent with the experimental observations only after the inclusion of the plane and chain coupling. The d-density wave (DDW) phase that explains the pseudogap has also been considered to study the phase diagrams of the cuprates.

Hybrid crystals of cuprates and iron-based superconductors

We propose two possible new compounds, Ba_2CuO_2Fe_2As_2and K_2CuO_2Fe_2Se_2, which hybridize the building blocks of two high temperature superconductors, cuprates and iron-based superconductors. These compounds consist of square CuO_2 layers and antifluorite-type Fe_2X_2(X = As, Se) layers separated by Ba/K. The calculations of binding energies and phonon spectra indicate that they are dynamically stable, which ensures that they may be experimentally synthesized. The Fermi surfaces and electronic structures of the two compounds inherit the characteristics of both cuprates and iron-based superconductors. These compounds can be superconductors with intriguing physical properties to help to determine the pairing mechanisms of high Tc superconductivity.     

Observation of flux qubit states with the help of a superconducting differential double contour interferometer

The critical current of a new structure, the superconducting differential double contour interferometer (DDCI), investigated recently, depends on the parity of the sum of quantum numbers of the two superconducting loops connected in two points by two Josephson junctions. The theory confirms that the DDCI structure can be used for the ideal readout of quantum states of the flux qubit. Large jumps in the critical current and voltage enables to observe continuously the change in time the state of the flux qubit. Such observations can have fundamental importance for the investigation of macroscopic quantum systems with strongly discrete spectrum such as the flux qubit. The DDCI structure can also be used for precise measurement of a very weak magnetic field.     

Design of a superconducting volume coil for magnetic resonance microscopy of the mouse brain

We present the design process of a superconducting volume coil for magnetic resonance microscopy of the mouse brain at 9.4T. The yttrium barium copper oxide coil has been designed through an iterative process of three-dimensional finite-element simulations and validation against room temperature copper coils. Compared to previous designs, the Helmholtz pair provides substantially higher B(1) homogeneity over an extended volume of interest sufficiently large to image biologically relevant specimens. A custom-built cryogenic cooling system maintains the superconducting probe at 60+/-0.1K. Specimen loading and probe retuning can be carried out interactively with the coil at operating temperature, enabling much higher through-put. The operation of the probe is a routine, consistent procedure. Signal-to-noise ratio in a mouse brain increased by a factor ranging from 1.1 to 2.9 as compared to a room-temperature solenoid coil optimized for mouse brain microscopy. We demonstrate images encoded at 10x10x20mum for an entire mouse brain specimen with signal-to-noise ratio of 18 and a total acquisition time of 16.5h, revealing neuroanatomy unseen at lower resolution. Phantom measurements show an effective spatial resolution better than 20mum.
