欠掺杂La(1.9)Sr(0.1)CuO超导转变上的抗磁性(4):化学无序还是相位非相干超导?

The diamagnetism above the superconducting transition in underdoped La(1.9)Sr(0.1)CuO(4) revisited: Chemical disorder or phase incoherent superconductivity?

摘要:

超导波动和不均匀性之间的相互作用提出了一个新的兴趣,由于最近的工作支持一个异常的[超越传统的高斯-金兹伯格-朗道(GGL)的情况下]抗磁性高于Tc在欠掺杂的铜酸盐。这一结论主要是基于低场等温磁化曲线中新异常的观察,与我们早期在欠掺杂La(1.9)Sr(0.1)CuO(4)[Phys. Rev. Lett. 84,3157(2000)]。这些看似内在的反常现象在各种有影响力的著作中被作为赝能隙区相位非相干超导性的“热力学证据”提出,这是目前铜酸盐超导体物理学的一个中心和有争议的问题。在这里,我们已经扩展了我们的磁化强度测量在La(1.9)Sr(0.1)CuO(4)的两个样品具有不同的化学无序,在其中一个接近与随机分布的Sr离子。对于该样品,相应的Tc分布可以近似为围绕平均Tc对称,而在最无序的样品中是强烈不对称的。在这两个样品中测量的磁化强度之间的比较提供了一个关键的检查所观察到的抗磁性异常,这是类似于那些声称由于相位波动由其他作者的化学无序起源。这一结论也适用于只受本征类化学无序影响的样品,提供了进一步的检查,即在正常状态下的赝能隙的打开不影响低掺杂铜酸盐的超导转变以上的本征抗磁性。它还表明,一旦这些障碍的影响被克服,剩余的前体抗磁性可以占在一个定量水平的GGL方法下的总能量截止。

英文摘要:

The interplay between superconducting fluctuations and inhomogeneities presents a renewed interest due to recent works supporting an anomalous [beyond the conventional Gaussian-Ginzburg-Landau (GGL) scenario] diamagnetism above Tc in underdoped cuprates. This conclusion, mainly based in the observation of new anomalies in the low-field isothermal magnetization curves, is in contradiction with our earlier results in the underdoped La(1.9)Sr(0.1)CuO(4) [Phys. Rev. Lett. 84, 3157 (2000)]. These seemingly intrinsic anomalies are being presented in various influential works as a 'thermodynamic evidence' for phase incoherent superconductivity in the pseudogap regime, this last being at present a central and debated issue of the cuprate superconductors' physics. Here we have extended our magnetization measurements in La(1.9)Sr(0.1)CuO(4) to two samples with different chemical disorder, in one of them close to the one associated with the random distribution of Sr ions. For this sample, the corresponding Tc-distribution may be approximated as symmetric around the average Tc, while in the most disordered sample is strongly asymmetric. The comparison between the magnetization measured in both samples provides a crucial check of the chemical disorder origin of the observed diamagnetism anomalies, which are similar to those claimed as due to phase fluctuations by other authors. This conclusion applies also to the sample affected only by the intrinsic-like chemical disorder, providing then a further check that the intrinsic diamagnetism above the superconducting transition of underdoped cuprates is not affected by the opening of a pseudogap in the normal state. It is also shown here that once these disorder effects are overcome, the remaining precursor diamagnetism may be accounted at a quantitative level in terms of the GGL approach under a total energy cutoff.
