Abrupt transition in quasiparticle dynamics at optimal doping in a cuprate superconductor system.

چکیده
We report time-resolved measurements of the photoinduced change in reflectivity, DeltaR, in the Bi2Sr2Ca(1-y)Dy(y)Cu2O8+delta (BSCCO) system of cuprate superconductors as a function of hole concentration. We find that the kinetics of quasiparticle decay and the sign of DeltaR both change abruptly where the superconducting transition temperature T(c) is maximal. These coincident changes suggest that a sharp transition in quasiparticle dynamics takes place precisely at optimal doping in the BSCCO system.

Critical dynamics of thermal conductivity at the normal-superconducting transition
Some 15 years after the discovery of the cuprate superconductors, many tantalizing puzzles remain, particularly with regards to ground-state and possible quantum critical properties with varied doping. It has been difficult to disentangle consistent analyses faithful to experiment from the zoo of microscopic theories and models. In contrast, there have been notable successes in understanding th...
متن کاملDoping dependence of superconducting gap in YBa2Cu3Oy from universal heat transport
Thermal transport in the T → 0 limit was measured as a function of doping in high-quality single crystals of the cuprate superconductor YBa2Cu3Oy. The residual linear term κ0/T is found to decrease as one moves from the overdoped regime towards the Mott insulator region of the phase diagram. The doping dependence of the lowenergy quasiparticle gap extracted from κ0/T is seen to scale closely wi...
متن کاملInverse correlation between quasiparticle mass and T c in a cuprate high-T c superconductor.
Close to a zero-temperature transition between ordered and disordered electronic phases, quantum fluctuations can lead to a strong enhancement of electron mass and to the emergence of competing phases such as superconductivity. A correlation between the existence of such a quantum phase transition and superconductivity is quite well established in some heavy fermion and iron-based superconducto...
متن کاملElectronic evidence of an insulator-superconductor crossover in single-layer FeSe/SrTiO3 films.
In high-temperature cuprate superconductors, it is now generally agreed that superconductivity is realized by doping an antiferromagnetic Mott (charge transfer) insulator. The doping-induced insulator-to-superconductor transition has been widely observed in cuprates, which provides important information for understanding the superconductivity mechanism. In the iron-based superconductors, howeve...
متن کاملFermi surface and pseudogap evolution in a cuprate superconductor.
The unclear relationship between cuprate superconductivity and the pseudogap state remains an impediment to understanding the high transition temperature (T(c)) superconducting mechanism. Here, we used magnetic field-dependent scanning tunneling microscopy to provide phase-sensitive proof that d-wave superconductivity coexists with the pseudogap on the antinodal Fermi surface of an overdoped cu...
