$^{139}$ La和$^{63}$ Cu NMR研究La $_{2}$ CuO $_{4+y}$($T_{c}=42$ K)中的电荷序

$^{139}$La and $^{63}$Cu NMR investigation of charge order in La$_{2}$CuO$_{4+y}$ ($T_{c}=42$K)

T. Imai, Y. S. Lee

摘要:

本文报道了在$T_{stage}\simeq 290$ K下,用$^{139}$ La和$^{63}$ Cu NMR研究了具有第4阶段过剩氧序的超氧LaPDMATHABMO CuO $_{4+y}$单晶中的连续电荷序、自旋序和超导跃迁.我们发现,阶段-4阶诱导低于$T_{stage}$的CuO $_6$八面体的倾斜,这反过来又导致$^{139}$ La NMR谱线展宽。结构畸变在$T_{stage}$以下继续发展,并在$T_{charge}\simeq 60$ K时完成,此时电荷有序开始。这个序列是让人想起的Nd共掺杂的La $_{1.88}$ Sr $_{0.12}$ CuO $_4$的电荷顺序转变,设置在一旦低温四氢呋喃(LTT)相建立。我们还表明,顺磁$^{63}$铜NMR信号逐渐消除$T_{charge}$以下由于增强的低频自旋波动,但剩余的$^{63}$铜NMR信号继续表现出预期的最佳掺杂的超导CuO $_2$平面的特性。这表明,在La $_2$ CuO $_{4+y}$中的电荷顺序在空间中并不均匀。用$^{139}$ La核自旋-晶格弛豫速率探测到的低频Cu自旋涨落是轻度玻璃态的,在$T_{spin}$($\simeq T_{c}$)=42 K时没有出现临界发散。这些发现,包括电荷有序态的空间不均匀性,定性地类似于La $_{1.885}$ Sr $_{0.115}$ CuO $_4$ [T. Imai等人,Phys. Rev. B 96(2017)224508和A. Arsenault等人,物理评论B 97(2018)064511],但在本例中,电荷和自旋顺序都发生得更剧烈。

英文摘要:

We report $^{139}$La and $^{63}$Cu NMR investigation of the successive charge order, spin order, and superconducting transitions in super-oxygenated La$_2$CuO$_{4+y}$ single crystal with stage-4 excess oxygen order at $T_{stage}\simeq 290$ K. We show that the stage-4 order induces tilting of CuO$_6$ octahedra below $T_{stage}$, which in turn causes $^{139}$La NMR line broadening. The structural distortion continues to develop far below $T_{stage}$, and completes at $T_{charge}\simeq 60$ K, where charge order sets in. This sequence is reminiscent of the the charge order transition in Nd co-doped La$_{1.88}$Sr$_{0.12}$CuO$_4$ that sets in once the low temperature tetragonal (LTT) phase is established. We also show that the paramagnetic $^{63}$Cu NMR signals are progressively wiped out below $T_{charge}$ due to enhanced low frequency spin fluctuations, but the residual $^{63}$Cu NMR signals continue to exhibit the characteristics expected for optimally doped superconducting CuO$_2$ planes. This indicates that charge order in La$_2$CuO$_{4+y}$ does not take place uniformly in space. Low frequency Cu spin fluctuations as probed by $^{139}$La nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate are mildly glassy, and do not exhibit critical divergence at $T_{spin}$($\simeq T_{c}$)=42 K. These findings, including the spatially inhomogeneous nature of the charge ordered state, are qualitatively similar to the case of La$_{1.885}$Sr$_{0.115}$CuO$_4$ [T. Imai et al., Phys. Rev. B 96 (2017) 224508, and A. Arsenault et al., Phys. Rev. B 97 (2018) 064511], but both charge and spin order take place more sharply in the present case.
