摘要:

探索自旋密度波(SDW)是否是高温超导铜氧化物中电荷激发能隙的原因是困难的,因为磁性明显暴露的相图区域与能带色散可见的区域不同。一方面,当掺杂从下面接近2%时,长程磁序消失,阻碍了我们进行弹性中子散射(ENS)的能力。另一方面,当掺杂接近2%以上时,铜酸盐在低温下变得绝缘,从而限制了角分辨光电子能谱(ARPES)。事实上,掺杂低于3%的样品的ARPES数据是罕见的,并且在能量分布曲线(EDCs)中缺少准粒子峰。主要问题是极低掺杂样品的高电阻率,这是有害的ARPES由于充电效应。尽管如此,La $_{2-x}$ Sr $_{x}$ CuO $_{4}$的电阻率作为温度的函数,在2%掺杂下,在100 K左右具有宽的最小值。这个最小值为两个实验打开了一个窗口。通过制备一系列具有$\sim $ 0.2-0.3%掺杂步骤(约2%)的LSCO单晶,我们设法找到了两种技术都适用的一种。这使我们能够探索材料的磁性和电子特性之间的串扰。

英文摘要:

Exploring whether a spin density wave (SDW) is responsible for the charge excitations gap in the high-temperature superconducting cuprates is difficult, since the region of the phase diagram where the magnetic properties are clearly exposed is different from the region where the band dispersion is visible. On the one hand, long range magnetic order disappears as doping approaches 2% from below, hindering our ability to perform elastic neutron scattering (ENS). On the other hand, cuprates become insulating at low temperature when the doping approaches 2% from above, thus restricting angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES). In fact, ARPES data for samples with doping lower than 3% are rare and missing the quasiparticle peaks in the energy distribution curves (EDCs). The main problem is the high resistivity of extremely underdoped samples, which is detrimental to ARPES due to charging effects. Nevertheless, the resistivity of La$_{2-x}$Sr$_{x}$CuO$_{4}$ as a function of temperature, at 2% doping, has a broad minimum around 100K. This minimum opens a window for both experiments. By preparing a series of LSCO single crystals with $\sim $0.2-0.3% doping steps around 2%, we managed to find one to which both techniques apply. This allows us to explore the cross talk between the magnetic and electronic properties of the material.
