We have studied tunneling-mediated local density of states (LDOS) of the surface layer of a bilayer cuprate, where a Zn impurity is located on the second Cu-O layer. When the tunneling strength between two Cu-O layers is larger than a critical value, the LDOS on the site just above the Zn impurity first exhibits a resonant peak near the Fermi surface. The larger the tunneling strength, the stronger the resonant peak. It is also shown that the height of the resonant peak oscillates decreasingly with the distance from the site just above the Zn impurity. The location of the resonant peak in the surface LDOS depends on doping, energy gap, and the tunneling strength, and has an opposite bias voltage to that on its nearest neighboring sites. The results could be tested by the STM experiments and be used to further understand the electronic properties of high temperature superconductors.
Quasiparticle States around a Nonmagnetic Impurity in D-Density-Wave State of High-$T_c$ Cuprates
最近Chakravarty {\em et al.}提出了一种有序的$d$-密度波(DDW)状态作为欠掺杂高温铜氧化物中赝能隙相的解释。我们研究了基于有效平均场哈密顿量的DDW和超导有序之间的竞争。我们主要研究了DDW有序对单杂质周围电子态的影响。我们发现,在杂质周围的局域态密度中出现了一个单一的亚带隙共振峰。在幺正极限下,该共振峰的位置总是位于相对于费米能的$E_r=-μ$处。这一结果与纯超导态的情况截然不同,在纯超导态中,杂质的共振能近似地固定在费米能级上。这可以用来探讨铜酸盐中DDW有序的存在。

Scanning tunneling spectroscopy study of c-axis proximity effect in epitaxial bilayer manganite/cuprate thin films
最近的实验研究表明,在由铁磁锰氧化物和超导铜氧化物组成的薄膜异质结构中存在着新的超导邻近效应。为了在显微镜下观察这种效应,我们对La $_{2/3}$ Ca $_{1/3}$ MnO $_3$ /YBa $_2$ Cu $_3$ O $_{7-δ}$(LCMO/YBCO)双层薄膜进行了扫描隧道光谱。采用脉冲激光烧蚀沉积法在SrTiO $_{3}$衬底上生长了不同厚度的$\emph{c}$轴取向薄膜。通过横截面透射电子显微镜证实了薄膜的异质外延性。在4.2 K下测量Tunnel光谱,并分析LCMO层上的配对间隙的签名。对于LCMO厚度小于5 nm的双层样品,观察到单层LCMO膜的不对称电导谱特征,没有明显的间隙结构。这些观察结果与涉及自旋单重态对的非常短距离的邻近效应一致,并且难以与涉及自旋三重态对的较长距离的邻近效应相协调。

产生涡旋核所需的能量是解决欠掺杂铜酸盐中热涡旋波动物理学的基本成分。在这里,我们从理论上研究它的作用的发生Beresinskiii-Kosterlitz-无相变的双层膜的不均匀性。通过与Hetel等人[Nat.Phys.3,700(2007)]对Y $_{1-x}$ Ca $_{x}$ Ba $_{2}$ Cu $_{3}$ O $_{7-\d}$(YBCO)的两个晶胞薄膜中的穿透深度的最新测量的比较,我们可以提取涡旋芯能量$μ$的值,并且表明在低掺杂下$μ$与$T_c$线性地成比例。
Magnetic-impurity resonance states for different pairing symmetries in twisted bilayer graphene
在本工作中,我们研究了不同对称性的扭曲双层石墨烯超导相的磁杂质共振态。利用Yuan和Fu在[Phys. Rev. B 98,045103(2018)]中提出的双轨道模型,我们发现当杂质位于出射蜂窝晶格的一个位置时,共振态的空间分布将打破$D_3$群的三重和二重旋转对称性,而这些对称性属于该点群的不可约表示。当磁性杂质位于出射蜂窝晶格的中心时,在靠近杂质的位置出现共振峰可以被认为是非$s$波配对的有力证据。
