Quasiparticle Transport and Localization in High-Tc Superconductors
We present a theory of the effects of impurity scattering in dx22y2 superconductors and their quantum disordered counterparts, based on a nonlinear-sigma-model formulation. We show the existence, in a quasi-two-dimensional system, of a novel spin-metal phase with a nonzero spin diffusion constant at zero temperature. With decreasing interlayer coupling, the system undergoes a quantum phase tran...
متن کاملQuasiparticle density of states in dirty high-Tc superconductors
We study the density of quasiparticle states of dirty d-wave superconductors. We show the existence of singular corrections to the density of states due to quantum interference effects. We then argue that the density of states actually vanishes in the localized phase as uEu or E depending on whether time-reversal is a good symmetry or not. We verify this result for systems without time-reversal...
متن کاملQuasiparticle Lifetimes in Superconductors: Relationship with the Conductivity Scattering Rate
We compute the single particle inverse lifetime, evaluated in the superconducting state. Within the BCS framework, the calculation can be done nonperturbatively, i.e. poles can be found well away from the real axis. We find that perturbative calculations are in good agreement with these results, even for non-zero impurity scattering. With electron-phonon scattering added to the problem, we use ...
متن کاملQuasiparticle localization in superconductors with spin-orbit scattering
We develop a theory of quasiparticle localization in superconductors in situations without spin rotation invariance. We discuss the existence and properties of superconducting phases with localized/delocalized quasiparticle excitations in such systems in various dimensionalities. Implications for a variety of experimental systems, and to the properties of random Ising models in two dimensions, ...
متن کاملCoherent quasiparticle transport in grain boundary junctions employing high-Tc superconductors
Magneto-fluctuations of the normal resistance RN have been reproducibly observed in YBa2Cu3O7-d biepitaxial grain boundary junctions at low temperatures. We attribute them to mesoscopic transport in narrow channels across the grain boundary line, occurring even in the presence of large voltage drops. The Thouless energy appears to be the relevant energy scale. Possible implications on the under...
