Phase competition and anomalous thermal evolution in high-temperature superconductors
Abstract
The interplay of competing orders is relevant to high-temperature superconductivity known to emerge upon suppression of a parent antiferromagnetic order typically via charge doping. How such interplay evolves at low temperature—in particular at what doping level the zero-temperature quantum critical point (QCP) is located—is still elusive because it is masked by the superconducting state. The QCP had long been believed to follow a smooth extrapolation of the characteristic temperature T * for the strange normal state well above the superconducting transition temperature. However, recently the T * within the superconducting dome was reported to unexpectedly exhibit back-bending likely in the cuprate Bi 2 Sr 2 CaCu 2 O 8 + δ . We show that the original and revised phase diagrams can be understood in terms of weak and moderate competitions, respectively, between superconductivity and a pseudogap state such as d -density or spin-density wave, based on both Ginzburg-Landau theory and the realistic t - t ' - t ' ' - J - V model for the cuprates. We further found that the calculated temperature and doping-level dependence of the quasiparticle spectral gap and Raman response qualitatively agrees with the experiments. Particularly, the T * back-bending can provide amore »
