摘要:

当很强的磁场抑制低掺杂铜氧化物的超导电性时,会出现一种特殊的新电子相。它支持显着的和无法解释的量子振荡,并表现出一个身份不明的密度波(DW)状态。尽管由于观察到的电荷密度调制而通常被称为“电荷”密度波(CDW),但理论表明,这实际上可能是更难以捉摸的电子对密度波状态(PDW)。为了寻找在铜氧化物中场致PDW的证据,我们可视化了Bi $_2$ Sr $_2$ CaCu $_2$ O $_8$涡核周围晕内电子态密度$N(\bf{r})$的调制。这揭示了场致PDW的多个特征,包括在波矢$\bf{Q}_P$和$2\bf{Q}_P$处发生的两组$N(\bf{r})$调制,两者都具有主要的$s$对称形状因子,后者的振幅衰减速度是前者的两倍,以及在$\bf{Q}_P$处的诱导能隙调制。这样的微观现象是在详细的协议与理论场诱导的初级PDW产生二次CDW内的涡晕。这些数据表明,通过从欠掺杂的铜酸盐超导相增加磁场产生的基本状态实际上是具有大约8个CuO $_2$晶胞周期性($λ= 8a_0$)和主要的$d$对称形状因子的PDW。

英文摘要:

When very high magnetic fields suppress the superconductivity in underdoped cuprates, an exceptional new electronic phase appears. It supports remarkable and unexplained quantum oscillations and exhibits an unidentified density wave (DW) state. Although generally referred to as a "charge" density wave (CDW) because of the observed charge density modulations, theory indicates that this could actually be the far more elusive electron-pair density wave state (PDW). To search for evidence of a field-induced PDW in cuprates, we visualize the modulations in the density of electronic states $N(\bf{r})$ within the halo surrounding Bi$_2$Sr$_2$CaCu$_2$O$_8$ vortex cores. This reveals multiple signatures of a field-induced PDW, including two sets of $N(\bf{r})$ modulations occurring at wavevectors $\bf{Q}_P$ and $2\bf{Q}_P$, both having predominantly $s$-symmetry form factors, the amplitude of the latter decaying twice as rapidly as the former, along with induced energy-gap modulations at $\bf{Q}_P$ . Such a microscopic phenomenology is in detailed agreement with theory for a field-induced primary PDW that generates secondary CDWs within the vortex halo. These data indicate that the fundamental state generated by increasing magnetic fields from the underdoped cuprate superconducting phase is actually a PDW with approximately eight CuO$_2$ unit-cell periodicity ($λ= 8a_0$) and predominantly $d$-symmetry form factor.
