The Bechgaard salts and the high T$_c$ cuprates are described by two and three band models, respectively, with the lowest band (nearly) half filled. In organics the interactions are small, while in cuprates the repulsion $U_d$ on the Cu site is the largest energy. The Mott AF state is stable in undoped materials in both cases. In the metallic phase of cuprates the $U_d\to\infty$ limit produces a moderate effective repulsion. The theories of the coherent SDW and charge-transfer correlations in the metallic phases of organics and cuprates are thus similar. In (undoped) organics those correlations are associated with commensurate $2k_F$ SDW and $4k_F$ bond or site modes. The corresponding modes in metallic cuprates are the incommensurate SDW and in particular O$_x$/O$_y$ quadrupolar charge transfer with wave vector $2q_{SDW}=q_0+G$. They are enhanced for dopings $x>0$, which bring the Fermi level close to the van Hove singularity. Strong coupling to the lattice associates the static incommensurate O$_x$/O$_y$ charge transfer with collinear "nematic" stripes. In contrast to organics, the coherent correlations in cuprates compete with local $d_{10}\leftrightarrow d_9$ quantum charge-transfer disorder.
Quantum oscillations from `open' Fermi surface in quasi-one-dimensional lattices: Application to YBa2Cu3O6 cuprates, organic salts, ladder compounds, and related systems
根据著名的Onsagar-Lifshitz范式,Shubnikov de-Haas和de-Haas van Alphen(SdHvA)振荡的观察表明,在体中存在“闭合”轨道费米面。我们提出了一个基于实空间的计算SdHvA振荡在广义准一维晶格放松的准经典近似嵌入在这个几十年的老Onsagar-Lifshitz范式。我们发现,相当大的量子振荡可以产生从'开放'费米表面,只要回旋轨道可以形成在现实空间中有限的,但不一定相等,电子跳跃沿x和y方向。我们的结果定量地解释了各种准一维材料中令人困惑的SdHvA振荡的出现,包括YBa_2Cu_3O_6铜酸盐的链态,有机材料,各种梯形化合物,弱耦合线性链,或量子线,和其他相关系统。
Tuning the critical temperature of cuprate superconductor films using self-assembled organic layers
高温铜酸盐超导体(HTSC)的许多电子性质强烈地依赖于置于CuO $_2$平面(掺杂)中的电荷载流子的数量。超导性出现在掺杂温度相图的圆顶形区域。最高的临界温度(Tc)是针对所谓的“最佳掺杂”而获得的。掺杂机制通常是化学的;它可以通过阳离子取代来完成。例如,在La $_{2-x}$ Sr $_x$ CuO $_4$中就是这种情况,其中La 3+被Sr 2+取代,从而向CuO $_2$平面添加空穴。通过添加氧,如在YBa $_2$ Cu $_3$ O $_{6+δ}$的情况下,获得类似的效果,其中$δ$表示样品中的过量氧。在本文中,我们报告了一种不同的机制,一个能够添加或删除载体从表面的高温超导体。该方法利用吸附在铜酸盐表面上的极性分子的自组装单层(SAM)。在光学活性分子的情况下,SAM的极性可以通过在涂覆的表面上照射光来调制。这导致样品的超导相变的光诱导调制。使用SAM控制超导转变温度的能力使得这些表面对于基于高Tc超导体的各种设备(例如开关和检测器)是实用的。
