摘要:

本文用体敏探针研究了La_2-x_Sr_x_CuO_4_(LSCO)单晶从欠掺杂到最佳掺杂过程中可能出现的超导不均匀性。测量磁化率,chi,对场冷却和比热的研究表明,在2 K时chi的绝对值,被认为是对应于样品中的超导(SC)体积分数,和索末菲常数,反映准粒子在费米能级的态密度,表现出显着的依赖于x,即空穴浓度。这是第一个实验工作强烈表明,SC和正常状态区域的相分离发生在欠掺杂制度的LSCO以及在过掺杂制度。

英文摘要:

The possible inhomogeneity of superconductivity has been investigated by means of bulk-sensitive probes, using La_2-x_Sr_x_CuO_4_ (LSCO) single crystals from the underdoped to optimally doped regime. Measurements of the magnetic susceptibility, chi, on field cooling and specific heat have revealed that both the absolute value of chi at 2 K, regarded as corresponding to the superconducting (SC) volume fraction in a sample, and the Sommerfeld constant, reflecting the density of states of quasiparticles at the Fermi level, exhibit significant dependence on x, namely, on the hole concentration. This is the first experimental work strongly suggesting that a phase separation into SC and normal-state regions takes place in the underodped regime of LSCO as well as in the overdoped regime.
