Title: Orientation of the intra-unit-cell magnetic moment in the high-T_c superconductor HgBa₂CuO_4+δ

Abstract

Polarized-neutron diffraction (PND) experiments have revealed that the pseudogap state of the cuprates exhibits unusual intra-unit-cell (IUC) magnetism. At a qualitative level, the data indicate a moment direction that is neither perpendicular nor parallel to the CuO₂ layers, yet an accurate measurement at a high-symmetry momentum point in a structurally simple compound has been lacking. Such a measurement would be crucial, as it would help to narrow down the scenarios for the microscopic origin of the IUC magnetism. Here we report PND results with unprecedented accuracy for the IUC magnetic order in the simple-tetragonal single-CuO₂-layer compound HgBa₂CuO_4+δ. At the pseudogap temperature, we find evidence for magnetic critical scattering. Deep in the ordered state, we determine the moment direction to be 70° ± 10° away from the normal to the CuO₂ layers, which rules out both purely planar loop currents and high-symmetry Dirac multipoles, the two most prominent theoretical proposals for the microscopic origin of the IUC magnetism. Furthermore, the data are consistent with Dirac multipoles of lower symmetry or, alternatively, with a particular configuration of loop currents that flow on the faces of the CuO₆ octahedra.

Commensurate antiferromagnetic excitations as a signature of the pseudogap in the tetragonal high-T_c cuprate HgBa₂CuO_4+δ

Journal Article Chan, M. K. ; Dorow, C. J. ; Mangin-Thro, L. ; ... - Nature Communications

We report that antiferromagnetic correlations have been argued to be the cause of the d-wave superconductivity and the pseudogap phenomena exhibited by the cuprates. Although the antiferromagnetic response in the pseudogap state has been reported for a number of compounds, there exists no information for structurally simple HgBa₂CuO_4+δ. We report neutron-scattering results for HgBa₂CuO_4+δ (superconducting transition temperature T_c≈71 K, pseudogap temperature T*≈305 K) that demonstrate the absence of the two most prominent features of the magnetic excitation spectrum of the cuprates: the X-shaped ‘hourglass’ response and the resonance mode in the superconducting state. Instead, the response is Y-shaped, gapped andmore »« less

Unusual Dynamic Charge Correlations in Simple-Tetragonal ${HgBa}_{2} {CuO}_{4 + δ}$

Journal Article Yu, B. ; Tabis, W. ; Bialo, I. ; ... - Physical Review. X

The charge-density-wave (CDW) instability in the underdoped, pseudogap part of the cuprate phase diagram has been a major recent research focus, yet measurements of dynamic, energy-resolved charge correlations are still in their infancy. Such information is crucial in order to help discern the connection between CDW and pseudogap phenomena, and to understand the extent to which charge correlations in general shape the phase diagram. We report a resonant inelastic x-ray scattering study of the underdoped cuprate superconductor HgBa₂CuO_4+δ (T_c = 70 K). At 250 K, above the previously established temperature T_CDW ≈ 200 K that signifies the onset of quasistaticmore »« less

Growth and characterization of HgBa₂CaCu₂O_6+δ and HgBa₂Ca₂Cu₃O_8+δ crystals

Journal Article Wang, Lichen ; Luo, Xiangpeng ; Li, Jiarui ; ... - Physical Review Materials

We report the successful growth of sizable crystals of the cuprate superconductors HgBa₂CaCu₂O_6+δ and HgBa₂Ca₂Cu₃O_8+δ. These compounds are well known for their high optimal superconducting critical temperatures of T_c = 128 K and 134 K at ambient pressure, respectively, and for their challenging synthesis. Using a conventional quartz-tube encapsulation method and a two-layer encapsulation method that utilizes custom-built high-pressure furnaces, we are able to grow single crystals with linear dimensions up to several millimeters parallel to the CuO₂ planes. Extended postgrowth annealing is shown to lead to sharp superconducting transitions, indicative of high macroscopic homogeneity. X-ray diffraction and polarized Ramanmore »« less

Diagonal nematicity in the pseudogap phase of HgBa2CuO4+δ

Journal Article Murayama, H. ; Sato, Y. ; Kurihara, R. ; ... - Nature Communications

The pseudogap phenomenon in the cuprates is arguably the most mysterious puzzle in the field of high-temperature superconductivity. The tetragonal cuprate HgBa₂CuO_4+δ, with only one CuO₂ layer per primitive cell, is an ideal system to tackle this puzzle. Here, we measure the magnetic susceptibility anisotropy within the CuO₂ plane with exceptionally high-precision magnetic torque experiments. Our key finding is that a distinct two-fold in-plane anisotropy sets in below the pseudogap temperature T^*, which provides thermodynamic evidence for a nematic phase transition with broken four-fold symmetry. Surprisingly, the nematic director orients along the diagonal direction of the CuO₂ square lattice, inmore »« less

Crystal Growth And Characterization of the Model High-Temperature Superconductor HgBa{sub 2}CuO{sub 4+{delta}}

Journal Article Zhao, Xudong ; Yu, Guichuan ; Cho, Yong-Chan ; ... - Adv.Mater., 18:3243, 2006

Since the discovery of high-transition-temperature (T{sub c}) superconductivity in La{sub 2-x}Ba{sub x}CuO{sub 4} in 1986, the study of the lamellar copper oxides has remained at the forefront of condensed matter physics. Apart from their unusually high values of T{sub c}, these materials also exhibit a variety of complex phenomena and phases. This rich behavior is a consequence of the lamellar crystal structures, formed of copper-oxygen sheets separated by charge reservoir layers, and of the strong electron-electron correlations in the copper-oxygen sheets. After two decades of intensive research, which has stimulated many valuable new insights into correlated electron systems in general,more »« less
