Ion Substitution Effects on the Structure Stability of Cuprate Superconductors
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have demonstrated that using a transition metal ion to partially substitute Cu ion of the YSr2Cu3Oy can stabilize its crystal structure and retain superconductivity. The superconducting transition temperature in YSr2(Cu1-xMx)3Oy, where M is transition metal ion, ranges from 40K to 80K depending on the specific M ion. Lattice contraction due to Sr substitution makes the Ba/Sr ion to move closer to CuO plane, and consequently leads to a charge transfer between oxygen. Our study shows that the key factor controlling the structural stability in Y-Sr-Cu-O system is the effective ionic radius Sr in lattice. The introduction of transition metal doping is to increase the effective ionic radius of Sr through the increase of oxygen content.

متن کاملElectronic structure of kinetic energy driven cuprate superconductors
In this paper, we review the low energy electronic structure of the kinetic energy driven d-wave cuprate superconductors. We give a general description of the chargespin separation fermion-spin theory, where the constrained electron is decoupled as the gauge invariant dressed holon and spin. In particular, we show that under the decoupling scheme, the charge-spin separation fermion-spin represe...
متن کاملOxygen-isotope effect on the in-plane penetration depth in cuprate superconductors
Muon-spin rotation (μSR) studies of the oxygen isotope (O/O) effect (OIE) on the in-plane magnetic field penetration depth λab in cuprate high-temperature superconductors (HTS) are presented. First, the doping dependence of the OIE on the transition temperature Tc in various HTS is briefly discussed. It is observed that different cuprate families show a similar doping dependence of the OIE on T...

In this thesis I propose the design and demonstrate the initial development of an experiment to perform mesoscopic transport measurements on high temperature cuprate superconductors. The goal is to determine the charge of normal state charge carriers in the pseudogap regime by measuring the magnetic field periodicity of the quantum correction to conductance in the Aharonov-Bohm effect. There ar...
