摘要:

尽管经过二十年的研究,高转变温度超导体的相图仍然是个谜.一个中心问题是这些铜氧化物掺杂到超导区域的相对侧的物理性质的差异的起源。在过掺杂状态下,该材料表现为合理的传统金属,具有大的费米表面。然而,欠掺杂的制度是高度反常的,似乎没有相干的费米面,但只有断开的“费米弧”。因此,根本的问题是,低掺杂的氧化铜是否具有费米表面,如果是,它是否与在过掺杂状态下看到的拓扑不同。在这里,我们报告的氧有序的氧化铜YBa2Cu3O6.5的电阻中的量子振荡的观察,建立一个定义良好的费米表面的存在下掺杂的氧化铜的基态,一旦超导性被抑制的磁场。低振荡频率揭示了费米表面的小口袋,在对比的大圆柱体特性的过掺杂制度。两种可能的解释进行了讨论:无论是一个小口袋的能带结构的一部分,具体到YBa_2Cu_3O_(6.5)或小口袋产生的拓扑结构的变化在相图中的临界点。我们对高转变温度(高Tc)超导体的理解将主要取决于这两种解释中哪一种被证明是正确的。

英文摘要:

Despite twenty years of research, the phase diagram of high transition- temperature superconductors remains enigmatic. A central issue is the origin of the differences in the physical properties of these copper oxides doped to opposite sides of the superconducting region. In the overdoped regime, the material behaves as a reasonably conventional metal, with a large Fermi surface. The underdoped regime, however, is highly anomalous and appears to have no coherent Fermi surface, but only disconnected "Fermi arcs". The fundamental question, then, is whether underdoped copper oxides have a Fermi surface, and if so, whether it is topologically different from that seen in the overdoped regime. Here we report the observation of quantum oscillations in the electrical resistance of the oxygen-ordered copper oxide YBa2Cu3O6.5, establishing the existence of a well-defined Fermi surface in the ground state of underdoped copper oxides, once superconductivity is suppressed by a magnetic field. The low oscillation frequency reveals a Fermi surface made of small pockets, in contrast to the large cylinder characteristic of the overdoped regime. Two possible interpretations are discussed: either a small pocket is part of the band structure specific to YBa2Cu3O6.5 or small pockets arise from a topological change at a critical point in the phase diagram. Our understanding of high-transition temperature (high-Tc) superconductors will depend critically on which of these two interpretations proves to be correct.
