摘要:

声子介导的载流子间的吸引作用导致了传统超导体中库珀对的形成。尽管经过数十年的研究,高温超导铜氧化物中固定库珀对的胶水仍然存在争议,结构自由度和电子自由度的相对参与也是如此。超快电子晶体学(UEC)通过观察时空分辨衍射,提供了确定结构动力学和电子-晶格相互作用的可能作用的手段。偏振飞秒激光脉冲激发载流子,载流子通过电子-电子耦合和电子-声子耦合弛豫,导致结构畸变,进而衍射飞秒电子脉冲。本文综述了近年来铜酸盐的研究进展。特别地,我们讨论了Bi_2Sr_2CaCu_2O_(8 +δ)(BSCCO)中定向电子-声子耦合的强度和对称性,以及La_2CuO_4(LCO)中近红外脉冲引起的c轴结构不稳定性。这些结果的理论意义进行了讨论,重点是在占BSCCO的极化各向异性的电荷条纹的可能性是显着的,和内聚能(Madelung)计算描述的c轴不稳定性LCO。

英文摘要:

The phonon-mediated attractive interaction between carriers leads to the Cooper pair formation in conventional superconductors. Despite decades of research, the glue holding Cooper pairs in high-temperature superconducting cuprates is still controversial, and the same is true as for the relative involvement of structural and electronic degrees of freedom. Ultrafast electron crystallography (UEC) offers, through observation of spatio-temporally resolved diffraction, the means for determining structural dynamics and the possible role of electron-lattice interaction. A polarized femtosecond (fs) laser pulse excites the charge carriers, which relax through electron-electron and electron-phonon coupling, and the consequential structural distortion is followed diffracting fs electron pulses. In this review, the recent findings obtained on cuprates are summarized. In particular, we discuss the strength and symmetry of the directional electron-phonon coupling in Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ(BSCCO), as well as the c-axis structural instability induced by near-infrared pulses in La2CuO4 (LCO). The theoretical implications of these results are discussed with focus on the possibility of charge stripes being significant in accounting for the polarization anisotropy of BSCCO, and cohesion energy (Madelung) calculations being descriptive of the c-axis instability in LCO.
