Within a gauge approach to the t-J model, we propose a new, non-BCS mechanism of superconductivity for underdoped cuprates. The gluing force of the superconducting mechanism is an attraction between spin vortices on two different Néel sublattices, centered around the empty sites described in terms of fermionic holons. The spin fluctuations are described by bosonic spinons with a gap generated by the spin vortices. Due to the no-double occupation constraint, there is a gauge attraction between holon and spinon binding them into a physical hole. Through gauge interaction the spin vortex attraction induces the formation of spin-singlet (RVB) spinon pairs with a lowering of the spinon gap. Lowering the temperature, the approach exhibits two crossover temperatures: at the higher crossover a finite density of incoherent holon pairs are formed leading to a reduction of the hole spectral weight, while at the lower crossover a finite density of incoherent spinon RVB pairs are also formed, giving rise to a gas of incoherent preformed hole pairs, and magnetic vortices appear in the plasma phase. Finally, at a even lower temperature the hole pairs become coherent, the magnetic vortices becoming dilute and superconductivity appears. The superconducting mechanism is not of BCS-type since it involves a gain in kinetic energy (for spinons) coming from the spin interactions. 相似文献

We examine the possible electron-phonon spectra that produce both Tc=39 K and an isotope coefficient β=0.32±0.01, with Eliashberg theory. We assess the viability of the conventional electron-phonon mechanism in light of these results, compared with ab initio calculations of the electron-phonon spectrum. Comparisons are made with similar considerations for low Tc materials. 相似文献

We argue that aspects of the anomalous, low temperature, spin and charge dynamics of the high temperature superconductors can be understood by studying the corresponding physics of undoped Mott insulators. Such insulators display a quantum transition from a magnetically ordered Néel state to a confining paramagnet with a spin gap; the latter state has bond-centered charge order, a low energy S=1 spin exciton, confinement of S=1/2 spinons, and a free S=1/2 moment near non-magnetic impurities. We discuss how these characteristics, and the quantum phase transitions, evolve upon doping the insulator into a d-wave superconductor. This theoretical framework was used to make a number of predictions for STM measurements and for the phase diagram of the doped Mott insulator in an applied magnetic field. 相似文献

The effects of mercury doping on the superconductivity, crystal structure, and electronic structure have been investigated in Hg-doped BaPb0.75Bi0.25O3 (BaPb0.75−xHgxBi0.25O3, BPHBO) by magnetic measurement, powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), and X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS). At lower doping levels, the system is metallic and superconducting. However, the superconductivity is fully suppressed by Hg doping at x>0.25 and recovered with further increase in Hg content at x>0.3, showing a superconductivity reentrant phenomenon. XPS analysis reveals that BPHBO experiences dual metal-insulator transitions (MITs) at these two superconductivity points, which are accompanied by lattice distortions, suggesting that they may be driven by Peierls transitions. The first MIT may be a Mott-transition, while the second may be due to competition between the band filling effect and modification of the charge-disproportionate state. 相似文献

We present a general framework for describing the quantum phases obtained by doping paramagnetic Mott insulators on the square lattice. The undoped insulators are efficiently characterized by the projective transformations of various fields under the square lattice space group (the PSG). We show that the PSG also imposes powerful constraints on the doped system, and on the effective action for the vortex and Bogoliubov quasiparticle excitations of superconducting states. This action can also be extended across transitions to supersolid or insulating states at non-zero doping. For the case of a valence bond solid (VBS) insulator, we show that the doped system has the same PSG as that of elementary bosons with density equal to the density of electron Cooper pairs. We also discuss aspects of the action for a d-wave superconductor obtained by doping a “staggered-flux” spin liquid state. 相似文献

We investigate the possibility of a novel kind of optical pump probe spectroscopy where the two laser pulses are focused on different areas of the sample. The response to the destruction of the superconducting state in a large part of a mesoscopic ring is studied numerically. We use the time dependent Ginzburg-Landau equations with periodic boundary conditions and external magnetic field. We evaluate the relaxation rates of the superconducting order parameter as well as the voltage induced by the charge imbalance. Computer simulations confirm that the perturbation of superconductivity on one part of the ring induces a voltage which decelerates the superconducting electrons on the other part of the ring. This deceleration results in the decrease of the superconducting current and the superfluid density. The relaxation times are of the order of the picosecond, the induced voltage of few millivolts and the variation of the superconducting gap of 10% which we believe to be suitable for time resolved femtosecond optical spectroscopy. 相似文献

By means of numerical simulations based on Ginzburg-Landau theory, we study the vortex depinning from a columnar defect in a superconducting film. We evaluate the limiting thickness of the film, below which the depinning does not occur even under an application of the magnetic field perpendicular to the columnar defect. The limiting thickness is a measure of the pinning strength of the columnar defect. The dependence of this limiting thickness on the magnitude of the applied field is obtained for two types of columnar defects. 相似文献

We numerically study quantum effects in intrinsic Josephson junctions of layered high-Tc superconductors in order to explain recent experimental observations on the switching rate enhancement in the low temperature quantum regime. We pay attention to the capacitive coupling between neighboring junctions and perform simulations for the Schrödinger equation derived from the Hamiltonian describing the capacitive coupling. The simulation results reveal that the phase dynamics show synchronous behaviors when entering the quantum regime. This is qualitatively consistent with the experimental result. 相似文献

We studied the doping dependence of the superconducting gap in La2−xSrxCuO4 (LSCO) by means of Andreev reflection measurements in Au/LSCO point-contact junctions. The Andreev reflection features were found to disappear at TcA close to the bulk Tc. The fit of the conductance curves with the BTK-Tanaka-Kashiwaya model gives good results if a (s+d)-wave gap symmetry is used. The low-temperature dominant isotropic gap component Δs follows very well the Tc vs. x curve, while the gap-like features observed by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy and tunneling scale with T∗. This confirms the different origin of these two energy scales at T<Tc. 相似文献

Inelastic X-ray scattering (IXS) was used to study the Cu-O bond-stretching vibrations in the static stripe phase compound La1.48Nd0.4Sr0.12CuO4. It was found that the intrinsic width in Q-space of the previously reported huge anomalous phonon softening and broadening is approximately 0.08 r.l.u. HWHM. A detailed comparison was also made to inelastic neutron scattering (INS) studies, which indicate a two-peak lineshape (with superimposed broad and narrow peaks) in the vicinity of the anomaly. The high resolution IXS data show that the narrow peak is mostly an artifact of the poor transverse Q-resolution of INS. Otherwise, the agreement between the INS and IXS was excellent. 相似文献

Doping effect on the carrier scattering in iron-pnictide superconductors studied by charge transport

In order to reveal the role of “carrier doping” in the iron-based superconductors, we investigated the transport properties of the oxygen-deficient iron-arsenides LnFeAsO1−y (Ln=La, Ce, Pr and Nd) over a wide doping range. We found that the effect of “doping” in this system is mainly on the carrier scattering rather than carrier density, quite distinct from that in high-Tc cuprates. In the case of La system with lower Tc, the low temperature resistivity is dominated by T2 term and fairly large magnetoresistance is observed. On the other hand, in the Nd system with higher Tc, carriers are subject to stronger scattering showing nearly T-linear resistivity and small magnetoresistance. Such strong scattering appears intimately correlated with high-Tc superconductivity in the iron-based system. 相似文献

We studied the voltage and temperature dependency of the dynamic conductance of normal metal-MgB2 junctions obtained either with the point-contact technique (with Au and Pt tips) or by making Ag-paint spots on the surface of MgB2 samples. The fit of the conductance curves with the generalized BTK model gives evidence of pure s-wave gap symmetry. The temperature dependency of the gap, measured in Ag-paint junctions (dirty limit), follows the standard BCS curve with 2Δ/kBTc=3.3. In out-of-plane, high-pressure point-contacts we obtained almost ideal Andreev reflection characteristics showing a single small s-wave gap Δ=2.6±0.2 meV (clean limit). 相似文献

We report local magnetization measurements on the heavy fermion superconductor CeCoIn5 using a micro-Hall probe. Below a critical point T0 (), the local magnetization shows a clear jump at the superconducting transition temperatures for both H∥a and H∥c, indicating that the phase transition at the upper critical field Hc2 becomes a first-order phase transition. In addition, we observed an undershoot behavior of magnetization jump above (H∥c), which suggests a rapid change of textured superconducting structure with vortices and the nodal planes expected in the Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov state. 相似文献

Bond covalency and valence of elements in HgBa2Can−1CunO2n+2+δ (n=1, 2, 3, 4) were calculated and their relationship with Tc was discussed. For both oxygen and argon annealed samples, the results indicated that with the increase of n, the trend of bond covalency of Hg-O and Cu-O was the same or opposite compared with that of superconducting temperature. This may suggest that the magnitudes of Cu-O and Hg-O bond covalency are important in governing the superconducting temperature. For the highest Tc sample, Hg had the lowest valence, implying that lower valence of Hg was preferred in order to produce higher Tc. For fixed n, the valence of Cu in oxygen annealed samples was larger than that in argon annealed samples, indicating that oxygen annealed samples produced more carriers than argon annealed samples. 相似文献

A series of the SmFeAsO1−xFx and GdFeAsO1−xFx (x=0.05, 0.1, 0.15, 0.2, 0.25) samples have been prepared using nano-scaled ReF3 as the fluorine resource at a relatively low temperature. The samples have been sintered at 1100 and 1120 °C for SmFeAsO1−xFx and GdFeAsO1−xFx, respectively. These temperatures are at least 50-60° lower than other previous reports. All of the so-prepared samples possess a tetragonal ZrCuSiAs-type structure. Dramatically supression of the lattice parameters and increase in Tc proved that this low temperature process was more effective to introduce fluorine into REFeAsO. Superconducting transition appeared at 39.5 K for SmFeAsO1−xFx with x=0.05 and at 22 K for GdFeAsO1−xFx with x=0.1. The highest Tc was detected to be 54 K in SmFeAsO0.8F0.2 and 40.2 K in GdFeAsO0.75F0.25. The use of the nano-scaled ReF3 compounds has improved the efficiency of the present low temperature method in synthesizing the fluorine-doped iron-based superconductors. 相似文献

Superconductivity in the single-walled carbon nanotubes is investigated. First, effect of diameter increasing on the clean systems critical temperature, Tc, is calculated. Then effect of impurity doping on the reduction of critical temperature Tc, of single-walled carbon nanotubes, is discussed. Our calculations illustrate that metallic zigzag single-walled carbon nanotubes have higher Tc than armchair single-walled carbon nanotubes with approximately same diameters and Tc decreases by increasing diameter. This can explain why superconductivity could be found in the small diameter single-walled carbon nanotubes. We found for the impurity doped systems, impurity in the strong scattering regime can decrease Tc significantly while in the weak scattering regime Tc is not affected by impurity doping. 相似文献

To investigate the electronic states in YRuB2 and LuRuB2, we have carried out 11B NMR measurements. In the normal state, the spin-lattice relaxation rates 1/T1's in these compounds are proportional to the temperature T. 1/T1's show a small coherence peak just below the superconducting transition temperature Tc and decrease exponentially well below Tc. YRuB2 and LuRuB2 are found to be BCS superconductors with the energy gap 2Δ(0)=3.52 kBTc. 相似文献

NiBi3 polycrystals were synthesized via a solid state method. X-ray diffraction analysis shows that the main phase present in the sample corresponds to NiBi3 in a weight fraction of 96.82 % according to the refinement of the crystalline structure. SEM - EDS and XPS analysis reveal a homogeneous composition of NiBi3, without Ni traces. The powder superconducting samples were studied by performing magnetic measurements. The superconducting transition temperature and critical magnetic fields were determined as , Oe and Oe. The superconducting parameters were , , and κ=5.136. Isothermal measurements below the transition temperature show an anomalous behavior. Above the superconducting transition the compound presents ferromagnetic characteristics up to 750 K, well above the Ni Curie temperature. 相似文献

Neutron scattering has been used to measure the charge and spin structure in the YBa2Cu3O6+x superconductors. Incommensurate static charge ordering is found at low doping levels while only charge fluctuations are found at higher doping. The spin structure is complex with both a commensurate resonance and incommensurate structure observed at low temperatures. The scattering results are used to construct a phase diagram for stripes in the YBa2Cu3O6+x system. 相似文献

A key prediction of the SO(5) theory is the antiferromagnetic vortex state. Recent neutron scattering experiment on LSCO superconductors revealed enhanced antiferromagnetic order in the vortex state. Here we review theoretical progress since the original proposal and present a theory of static and dynamic antiferromanetic vortices in LSCO superconductors. It is shown that the antiferromagnetic region induced by the vortices can be greater than the coherence length, due to the light effective mass of the dynamic antiferromagnetic fluctuations at optimal doping, and close proximity to the antiferromagentic state in the underdoped regime. Systematic experiments are proposed to unambiguously determine that the field induced magnetic scattering originates from the vortices and not from the bulk. 相似文献
