The vanishing superfluid density in cuprates — and why it matters
Abstract
Recently, we have released the results of a comprehensive study of a couple thousand single-crystal La2-xSrxCuO4 films, covering densely the entire overdoped side of the phase diagram. Here in this paper, we review the key experimental findings, place them in the context of other important well-established facts and observations, and discuss their implications for our understanding of high-temperature superconductivity in cuprates. We conclude that it involves some new physics that requires going beyond the standard Fermi Liquid description of the normal state and Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer description of the superconducting state.
