摘要:

尽管人们普遍认为,在高转变温度的铜氧化物(高Tc铜氧化物)中,超导性(SC)是非常规的,但诸如自旋和电荷(条纹)有序、SC波动、接近莫特绝缘体、赝能隙相和量子临界性等现象的相对重要性仍然是一个有很大争议的问题1。在电子掺杂的铜氧化物,在欠掺杂区域的相位的p2p 2和较弱的电子correlations 3,4,不存在异常的赝隙相,表明莫特物理和其他身份不明的竞争订单是不太相关的,反铁磁(AFM)的自旋波动是主要特征。在这里,我们证明了一个线性温度(T-线性)散射率-铜酸盐的异常正常状态的属性的一个关键特征-与库珀配对(SC)。通过对电子掺杂铜氧化物La 2 xCexCuO 4(LCCO)薄膜磁输运的研究,我们发现当超导性被磁场抑制时,在SC相周围存在一个T-线性散射的包线,并且在零温度下仍然存在.与有机超导体中发现的类似行为相比,强烈表明T-线性电阻率是由自旋涨落散射引起的。我们的研究结果建立了AFM自旋涨落和铜氧化物高温超导配对机制之间的基本联系。

英文摘要:

Although it is generally accepted that superconductivity (SC) is unconventional in the high- transition temperature copper oxides (high-Tc cuprates), the relative importance of phenomena such as spin and charge (stripe) order, SC fluctuations, proximity to a Mott insulator, a pseudogap phase, and quantum criticality are still a matter of great debate1. In electron-doped cuprates, the absence of an anomalous pseudogap phase in the underdoped region of the phase diagram2 and weaker electron correlations3,4, suggest that Mott physics and other unidentified competing orders are less relevant and that antiferromagnetic (AFM) spin fluctuations are the dominant feature. Here we demonstrate that a linear-temperature (T-linear) scattering rate - a key feature of the anomalous normal state properties of the cuprates - is correlated with the Cooper pairing (SC). Through a study of magnetotransport in thin films of the electron-doped cuprate La2 xCexCuO4 (LCCO), we show that an envelope of T-linear scattering surrounds the SC phase, and survives to zero temperature when superconductivity is suppressed by magnetic fields. Comparison with similar behavior found in organic superconductors5 strongly suggests that the T-linear resistivity is caused by spin-fluctuation scattering. Our results establish a fundamental connection between AFM spin fluctuations and the pairing mechanism of high temperature superconductivity in the cuprates.
