摘要:

在单层空穴掺杂的铜酸盐体系La $_{1.6-x}$ Nd $_{0.4}$ Sr $_x$ CuO $_4$(Nd-LSCO)中,在$x$ = 0.23附近存在一个量子临界点,这是理解高温超导性的一个组织原理。我们早期在最佳和高掺杂的Nd-LSCO上的中子衍射工作揭示了静态平行自旋条纹存在于QCP之外,并且稍微超出,在$x$ = 0.24和0.26处。我们研究更密切的平行自旋条纹序参数在Nd-LSCO在零磁场和外地高达8 T的H // c在这些单晶。在早期的研究中,在较低的掺杂,我们观察到,H //C超过$\sim$ 2.5 T消除了与平行自旋条纹的不相称的准布拉格峰。但是这种弹性散射并没有被场破坏,而是转移到相称的{ \textbf{Q} = 0}布拉格位置,这意味着参与自旋条纹的自旋已经被极化。在高场非弹性中子散射测量表明,在低能量,平行的自旋条纹波动和证据的自旋间隙,$Δ_{spin}$ = 3 $\pm$ 0.5毫电子伏特的Nd-LSCO与$x$ = 0.24的增加。这被证明是一致的自旋间隙测量超导T $_C$的函数在五个不同的家庭的铜酸盐超导体,它遵循近似的线性关系,$Δ_{spin}$ = 3.5 k $_B$ T $_C$。

英文摘要:

A quantum critical point in the single layer, hole-doped cuprate system La$_{1.6-x}$Nd$_{0.4}$Sr$_x$CuO$_4$ (Nd-LSCO), near $x$ = 0.23 has been proposed as an organizing principle for understanding high temperature superconductivity. Our earlier neutron diffraction work on Nd-LSCO at optimal and high doping revealed static parallel spin stripes to exist out to the QCP and slightly beyond, at $x$ = 0.24 and 0.26. We examine more closely the parallel spin stripe order parameter in Nd-LSCO in both zero magnetic field and fields up to 8 T for H // c in these single crystals. In contrast to earlier studies at lower doping, we observe that H //c in excess of $\sim$ 2.5 T eliminates the incommensurate quasi-Bragg peaks associated with parallel spin stripes. But this elastic scattering is not destroyed by the field; rather it is transferred to commensurate {\textbf{Q} = 0} Bragg positions, implying that the spins participating in the spin stripes have been polarized. Inelastic neutron scattering measurements at high fields show an increase in the low energy, parallel spin stripe fluctuations and evidence for a spin gap, $Δ_{spin}$= 3 $\pm$ 0.5 meV for Nd-LSCO with $x$ = 0.24. This is shown to be consistent with spin gap measurements as a function of superconducting T$_C$ over five different families of cuprate superconductors, which follow the approximate linear relation, $Δ_{spin}$ = 3.5 k$_B$T$_C$.
