光致超导的非线性声子学解释的一种可能的实验检验

A possible experimental test of the nonlinear phononics interpretation of light-induced superconductivity

Massimo Altarelli

摘要:

实验证据的超导临界温度的瞬态增强的存在下,一个强烈的太赫兹或红外泵浦脉冲归因于非线性声子效应。在这里,我介绍了一个简单的现象学金-朗道模型的这种现象,探索进一步的后果和可能的实验测试这种解释。在没有太赫兹泵浦的情况下,当冷却到Tc以下时,拉曼激活模频率的突然软化和自发晶格畸变都将发生,并随(Tc - T)线性增长。YBa 2Cu 3 O 6 +x的数值估计表明,频率软化应该很容易观察到,而晶格畸变可能太小。与YBa 2Cu 3 O 6 +x的拉曼实验相比还远没有定论;然而,在20多年前在HgBa 2Ca 3Cu 4 O 10 +x中观察到非常大的(高达18%)声子频率软化低于Tc,其行为与本模型的预测惊人地相似;其解释一直存在争议。光致超导性从未在这种材料中进行过研究,探索它是否存在并通过这里讨论的机制与观察到的异常声子行为相联系可能是有意义的。

英文摘要:

Experimental evidence for a transient enhancement of the superconducting critical temperature in presence of an intense THz or IR pump pulse was ascribed to nonlinear phononics effects. Here I introduce a simple phenomenological Ginzburg-Landau model of this phenomenon, to explore further consequences and possible experimental tests of this interpretation. Upon cooling below Tc in the absence ofTHz pumping, both an abrupt softening of a Raman-active mode frequency and a spontaneous lattice distortion, growing linearly with (Tc - T), are predicted to occur. Numerical estimates for YBa2Cu3O6+x indicate that the frequency softening should be easily observable, whereas the lattice distortion may be too small. Comparison with Raman experiments for YBa2Cu3O6+x is far from conclusive; however very large (up to 18 %) phonon frequency softening below Tc, with behaviour strikingly similar to the predictions of the present model, was observed over 20 years ago in HgBa2Ca3Cu4O10+x; its explanation has been controversial. Light induced superconductivity was never investigated in this material and it may be of interest to explore if it is present and connected, via the mechanism discussed here, to the observed anomalous phonon behaviour.
