Title: Strongly-overdoped $$\mathrm{La}$$2-$$_{x}$$$$\mathrm{Sr}$$$$_{x}$$$$\mathrm{CuO}$$4: Evidence for Josephson-coupled grains of strongly-correlated superconductor

Abstract

The interpretation of how superconductivity disappears in cuprates at large hole doping has been controversial. To address this issue, here we present an experimental study of single-crystal and thin film samples of La2-xSrxCuO4 (LSCO) with x ≥0.25. In particular, measurements of bulk susceptibility on LSCO crystals with x = 0.25 indicate an onset of diamagnetism at Tc1=38.5 K, with a sharp transition to a phase with full bulk shielding at Tc2=18 K, independent of field direction. Strikingly, the in-plane resistivity only goes to zero at Tc2. Inelastic neutron scattering on 0.25 crystals confirms the presence of low-energy incommensurate magnetic excitations with reduced strength compared to lower doping levels. The ratio of the spin gap to Tc2 is anomalously large. Our results are consistent with a theoretical prediction for strongly overdoped cuprates by Spivak, Oreto, and Kivelson, in which superconductivity initially develops within disconnected self-organized grains characterized by a reduced hole concentration, with bulk superconductivity occurring only after superconductivity is induced by proximity effect in the surrounding medium of higher hole concentration. Beyond the superconducting-to-metal transition, local differential conductance measurements on an LSCO thin film suggest that regions with pairing correlations survive, but are too dilute to support superconducting order. Futuremore » experiments will be needed to test the degree to which these results apply to overdoped cuprates in general.« less
