摘要:

高温铜酸盐超导体(HTSC)的许多电子性质强烈地依赖于置于CuO $_2$平面(掺杂)中的电荷载流子的数量。超导性出现在掺杂温度相图的圆顶形区域。最高的临界温度(Tc)是针对所谓的“最佳掺杂”而获得的。掺杂机制通常是化学的;它可以通过阳离子取代来完成。例如,在La $_{2-x}$ Sr $_x$ CuO $_4$中就是这种情况,其中La 3+被Sr 2+取代,从而向CuO $_2$平面添加空穴。通过添加氧,如在YBa $_2$ Cu $_3$ O $_{6+δ}$的情况下,获得类似的效果,其中$δ$表示样品中的过量氧。在本文中,我们报告了一种不同的机制,一个能够添加或删除载体从表面的高温超导体。该方法利用吸附在铜酸盐表面上的极性分子的自组装单层(SAM)。在光学活性分子的情况下,SAM的极性可以通过在涂覆的表面上照射光来调制。这导致样品的超导相变的光诱导调制。使用SAM控制超导转变温度的能力使得这些表面对于基于高Tc超导体的各种设备(例如开关和检测器)是实用的。

英文摘要:

Many of the electronic properties of high-temperature cuprate superconductors (HTSC) are strongly dependent on the number of charge carriers put into the CuO$_2$ planes (doping). Superconductivity appears over a dome-shaped region of the doping-temperature phase diagram. The highest critical temperature (Tc) is obtained for the so-called "optimum doping". The doping mechanism is usually chemical; it can be done by cationic substitution. This is the case, for example, in La$_{2-x}$Sr$_x$CuO$_4$ where La3+ is replaced by Sr2+ thus adding a hole to the CuO$_2$ planes. A similar effect is achieved by adding oxygen as in the case of YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{6+δ}$ where $δ$ represents the excess oxygen in the sample. In this paper we report on a different mechanism, one that enables the addition or removal of carriers from the surface of the HTSC. This method utilizes a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) of polar molecules adsorbed on the cuprate surface. In the case of optically active molecules, the polarity of the SAM can be modulated by shining light on the coated surface. This results in a light-induced modulation of the superconducting phase transition of the sample. The ability to control the superconducting transition temperature with the use of SAMs makes these surfaces practical for various devices such as switches and detectors based on high-Tc superconductors.
