AI总结:

本研究通过高磁场测量揭示了YBa2Cu3Oy低温下的自旋磁化率χspin,发现两个热激活贡献与残余χspin(T=0),将其与短程电荷密度波和自旋单态关联,提出赝能隙是复合性质且欠掺杂铜氧化物倾向形成短程自旋单态。

摘要:

理解高温铜氧化物的一个主要障碍是超导性阻碍了在低温下观测正常态性质。一个典型例子是正常态自旋磁化率χspin:尽管其在远高于Tc的温度下冷却时的下降是赝能隙行为的典型特征,但其在低温下的行为通常未知。本研究通过高磁场测量揭示了YBa2Cu3Oy的χspin直至低温。尽管磁场抑制了超导性,我们发现了两个热激活贡献以及由无能隙激发导致的残余χspin(T=0)。我们将这两个不同的能隙与短程电荷密度波以及某些量子自旋系统中的单态形成相关联。因此,这两种现象在低温下对赝能隙有贡献,补充了在高温下引发赝能隙行为的短寿命反铁磁性。我们由此提出,赝能隙应被视为一种复合性质,且当不发生自旋条纹有序时,欠掺杂铜氧化物倾向于形成短程自旋单态。

英文摘要:

A major obstacle to understanding high-Tc cuprates is that superconductivity precludes observing normal-state properties at low temperatures. One prime example is the normal-state spin susceptibility \c{hi}spin: although its decrease upon cooling far above Tc typifies pseudogap behavior, its behavior at low temperatures is generally unknown. Here, our measurements in high magnetic fields expose \c{hi}spin of YBa2Cu3Oy down to low temperatures. Even though superconductivity is suppressed by the field, we uncover two thermally-activated contributions alongside a residual \c{hi}spin(T=0) due to gapless excitations. We relate these two distinct gaps to short-range charge-density waves and to the formation of singlets as in certain quantum spin systems. Both phenomena thus contribute to the pseudogap at low temperature, supplementing short-lived antiferromagnetism that initiates pseudogap behavior at high temperatures. We therefore propose that the pseudogap ought to be regarded as a composite property and that, when not undergoing spin-stripe ordering, underdoped cuprates tend to form short-ranged spin singlets.
