摘要:

最近对高Tc超导体La_(1.6-x)Nd_(0.4)Sr_xCuO_4(Nd-LSCO)的研究发现,在空穴掺杂p = 0.24时,面内电阻率ρ_(ab)与热电势S / T呈线性T关系,热电势S / T与温度呈对数关系,而在p = 0.24时,费米面重构现象出现[1,2]。这些是量子临界点(QCP)的典型特征。本文报道了在一个足以完全抑制超导性的磁场中,在该QCP附近测量的Nd-LSCO的c轴电阻率rho_(c)(T)与温度的函数关系。与rho_(ab)一样,rho_(c)在低温下也有一个上升的趋势,这是由条纹有序引起的费米面重构的特征。跟踪随着掺杂而降低的上升高度使我们能够确定QCP的精确位置,其中条纹顺序结束于p* = 0.235 +- 0.005。我们认为,T_(rho)温度是赝能隙相的起始温度,T_(rho)温度约为条纹有序温度的两倍,在T_(rho)温度以下,赝能隙相开始出现。

英文摘要:

Recent studies of the high-Tc superconductor La_(1.6-x)Nd_(0.4)Sr_(x)CuO_(4) (Nd-LSCO) have found a linear-T in-plane resistivity rho_(ab) and a logarithmic temperature dependence of the thermopower S / T at a hole doping p = 0.24, and a Fermi-surface reconstruction just below p = 0.24 [1, 2]. These are typical signatures of a quantum critical point (QCP). Here we report data on the c-axis resistivity rho_(c)(T) of Nd-LSCO measured as a function of temperature near this QCP, in a magnetic field large enough to entirely suppress superconductivity. Like rho_(ab), rho_(c) shows an upturn at low temperature, a signature of Fermi surface reconstruction caused by stripe order. Tracking the height of the upturn as it decreases with doping enables us to pin down the precise location of the QCP where stripe order ends, at p* = 0.235 +- 0.005. We propose that the temperature T_(rho) below which the upturn begins marks the onset of the pseudogap phase, found to be roughly twice as high as the stripe ordering temperature in this material.
