Title: Low energy phenomenology of the overdoped cuprates: Viability of the Landau-BCS paradigm

Abstract

We use dirty d-wave BCS theory to calculate absolute superfluid density, residual specific heat, Volovik effect, and thermal conductivity and compare to experiments on the cuprate superconductor La_2-xSr_xCuO₄, showing that the theory provides a surprisingly good account of the data across the overdoped region. The starting point is an empirical angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy–based parametrization of the electronic structure, including substantial Fermi-liquid renormalizations. Furthermore, a proper treatment of the less-explored weak out-of-plane dopant disorder limit is found to be essential. We then show that the same approach captures the low energy physics of another important overdoped cuprate, Tl-2201, thought to be much “cleaner” since it exhibits quantum oscillations, low residual resistivities, and small superconducting state Sommerfeld coefficients. We conclude that the low energy properties of cuprates are remarkably well described in the overdoped regime by dirty d-wave theory, without the need to introduce physics beyond the Landau-BCS paradigm.

Effect of realistic out-of-plane dopant potentials on the superfluid density of overdoped cuprates

Journal Article Özdemir, H. U. ; Mishra, Vivek ; Lee-Hone, N. R. ; ... - Physical Review. B

Recent experimental papers on hole-doped overdoped cuprates have argued that a series of observations showing unexpected behavior in the superconducting state imply the breakdown of the quasiparticle-based Landau–BCS paradigm in that doping range. In contrast, some of the present authors have argued that a phenomenological “dirty d-wave” theoretical analysis explains essentially all aspects of thermodynamic and transport properties in the superconducting state, provided the unusual effects of weak, out-of-plane dopant impurities are properly accounted for. Here we attempt to place this theory on a more quantitative basis by performing ab initio calculations of dopant impurity potentials for LSCO and Tl-2201.more »« less

Locating the Missing Superconducting Electrons in the Overdoped Cuprates ${La}_{2 - x} {Sr}_{x} {CuO}_{4}$ [Locating the Missing Superconducting Electrons in Overdoped Cuprates]

Journal Article Mahmood, Fahad ; He, Xi ; Božović, Ivan ; ... - Physical Review Letters

Overdoped high-temperature cuprate superconductors have often been understood within the standard BCS framework of superconductivity. However, measurements in a variety of overdoped cuprates indicate that the superfluid density is much smaller than expected from BCS theory and decreases smoothly to zero as the doping is increased. Here, we combine time-domain THz spectroscopy with kHz range mutual inductance measurements on the same overdoped La_2–xSr_xCuO₄ films to determine the total, superfluid, and uncondensed spectral weight as a function of doping. A significant fraction of the carriers remains uncondensed in a wide Drude-like peak as T → 0, while the superfluid density remainsmore »« less

Can high-Tc superconductivity in cuprates be explained by the conventional BCS theory?

Journal Article Bozovic, Ivan ; Bollinger, A. T. ; He, X. - Low Temperature Physics

For overdoped cuprates, it is believed that the normal state behaves as an ordinary Fermi liquid while the superconducting state conforms to the BCS theory. We have put these beliefs to the test by a comprehensive experiment in which over two thousand cuprate films were synthesized by molecular beam epitaxy and studied in great detail and precision. Here in this paper, we compare our key experimental results to various proposed explanations based on BCS theory extended to dirty d-wave superconductors, including the cases of strong (unitary) and weak (Born) scattering on impurities. The discrepancies seem insurmountable, and point to themore »« less

Superfluid density in overdoped cuprates: Thin films versus bulk samples

Journal Article Dordevic, Sasa V. ; Homes, Christopher C. - Physical Review. B

Recent study of overdoped La_2–xSr_xCuO₄ cuprate superconductor thin films by Božovic et al. has revealed several unexpected findings, most notably the violation of the BCS description which was believed to adequately describe overdoped cuprates. In particular, it was found that the superfluid density in La_2–xSr_xCuO₄ films decreases on the overdoped side as a linear function of critical temperature T_c, which was taken as evidence for the violation of Homes' law. Here we show explicitly that the law is indeed violated, and as the main reason for violation we find that the superfluid density in Božovic's films is suppressed more stronglymore »« less
