Title: Destroying Coherence in High-Temperature Superconductors with Current Flow

Abstract

Here, the loss of single-particle coherence going from the superconducting state to the normal state in underdoped cuprates is a dramatic effect that has yet to be understood. Here, we address this issue by performing angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy measurements in the presence of a transport current. We find that the loss of coherence is associated with the development of an onset in the resistance, in that well before the midpoint of the transition is reached, the sharp peaks in the angle resolved photoemission spectra are completely suppressed. Since the resistance onset is a signature of phase fluctuations, this implies that the loss of single-particle coherence is connected with the loss of long-range phase coherence.

Angle-Resolved Photoemission Spectroscopy on Electronic Structure and Electron-Phonon Coupling in Cuprate Superconductors

Journal Article Zhou, X J - Submitted to Book Chapter in Handbook of High-Temperature Superconductivity: Theory and Experiment (2007)

In addition to the record high superconducting transition temperature (T{sub c}), high temperature cuprate superconductors are characterized by their unusual superconducting properties below T{sub c}, and anomalous normal state properties above T{sub c}. In the superconducting state, although it has long been realized that superconductivity still involves Cooper pairs, as in the traditional BCS theory, the experimentally determined d-wave pairing is different from the usual s-wave pairing found in conventional superconductors. The identification of the pairing mechanism in cuprate superconductors remains an outstanding issue. The normal state properties, particularly in the underdoped region, have been found to be at oddmore »« less

Unconventional spectral signature of $$T_c$$ in a pure d-wave superconductor

Journal Article Chen, Su-Di ; Hashimoto, Makoto ; He, Yu ; ... - Nature (London)

In conventional superconductors, the phase transition into a zero-resistance and perfectly diamagnetic state is accompanied by a jump in the specific heat and the opening of a spectral gap. In the high-transition-temperature (high-Tc) cuprates, while the transport, magnetic, and thermodynamic signatures of Tc are known since the 1980s, the spectroscopic singularity associated with the transition remains elusive. Here we resolve this long-standing puzzle with a high-precision angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) study on overdoped (Bi,Pb)2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ (Bi2212). We first probe the momentum-resolved electronic specific heat via spectroscopy and reproduce the specific heat peak at Tc, completing the missing link for a holisticmore »« less

The rate of quasiparticle recombination probes the onset of coherence in cuprate superconductors

Journal Article Hinton, J. P. ; Thewalt, E. ; Alpichshev, Z. ; ... - Scientific Reports

In the underdoped copper-oxides, high-temperature superconductivity condenses from a nonconventional metallic "pseudogap" phase that exhibits a variety of non-Fermi liquid properties. Recently, it has become clear that a charge density wave (CDW) phase exists within the pseudogap regime. This CDW coexists and competes with superconductivity (SC) below the transition temperature T c , suggesting that these two orders are intimately related. Here we show that the condensation of the superfluid from this unconventional precursor is reflected in deviations from the predictions of BSC theory regarding the recombination rate of quasiparticles. We report a detailed investigation of the quasiparticle (QP) recombinationmore »« less

The coherent d-wave superconducting gap in underdoped La{sub 2-x}Sr{sub x}CuO{sub 4}by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy.

Journal Article Shi, M ; Chang, J ; Pailhes, S ; ... - Phys. Rev. Lett.

We present angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy data on moderately underdoped La{sub 1.855}Sr{sub 0.145}CuO{sub 4} at temperatures below and above the superconducting transition temperature. Unlike previous studies of this material, we observe sharp spectral peaks along the entire underlying Fermi surface in the superconducting state. These peaks trace out an energy gap that follows a simple d-wave form, with a maximum superconducting gap of 14 meV. Our results are consistent with a single gap picture for the cuprates. Furthermore our data on the even more underdoped sample La{sub 1.895}Sr{sub 0.105}CuO{sub 4} also show sharp spectral peaks, even at the antinode, with amore » maximum superconducting gap of 26 meV.« less

Angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) studies of cuprate superconductors

Thesis/Dissertation Palczewski, Ari Deibert

This dissertation is comprised of three different angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) studies on cuprate superconductors. The first study compares the band structure from two different single layer cuprates Tl₂Ba₂CuO_6+δ (Tl2201) T_c,max ~95 K and (Bi_1.35Pb_0.85)(Sr_1.47La_0.38)CuO_6+δ (Bi2201) T_c,max 35 K. The aim of the study was to provide some insight into the reasons why single layer cuprate's maximum transition temperatures are so different. The study found two major di erences in the band structure. First, the Fermi surface segments close to ( π,0) are more parallel in Tl2201 than in Bi2201. Second, the shadow band usually related to crystal structure ismore »« less
