超导高原

The Superconducting Plateau

Yaron Kedem

摘要:

最近在轻掺杂钛酸锶中的两个实验表明,超导临界温度在覆盖几乎三个数量级的载流子浓度范围内保持恒定。这种现象的重要性,在此被称为超导高原,可以与著名的超导圆顶相媲美。戏剧性的经验证据强加了严格的限制,任何建议的超导机制在低掺杂。我们分析的实验结果,看看什么类型的理论模型可以适用于这种制度。我们发现,低临界电流,没有抗磁屏蔽和高临界场都与小动量的载流子,这是预期在低密度。通过引入“密度指数”,我们量化了临界温度对密度的依赖性。我们讨论了量子临界点在形成一个平台的作用,并评论需要更多的实验数据。

英文摘要:

Two recent experiments in lightly doped strontium titanate have shown that the superconducting critical temperature remains constant in a range of carrier concentrations covering almost three orders of magnitude. The importance of this phenomenon, hereby dubbed a superconducting plateau, is comparable to the celebrated superconducting dome. The dramatic empirical evidence impose severe constraints on any proposal for a superconducting mechanism at low doping. We analyze the experimental results to see what type of theoretical models can be suitable in this regime. We show that the low critical current, absence of diamagnetic screening and the high critical field are all related to the small momentum of the carriers, which is expected at low densities. We quantify the dependency of the critical temperature on density by introducing the "density exponent". We discuss the role of a quantum critical point in the formation of a plateau and comment on the need for more experimental data.
