Where Is the Quantum Critical Point in the Cuprate Superconductors?
Transport measurements in the hole-doped cuprates show a ‘strange metal’ normal state with an electrical resistance which varies linearly with temperature. This strange metal phase is often identified with the quantum critical region of a zero temperature quantum critical point (QCP) at hole density x = xm, near optimal doping. A long-standing problem with this picture is that low temperature e...
متن کاملD-XY Critical Behavior in Cuprate Superconductors
We outline the universal and finite temperature critical properties of the 3D-XY model, extended to anisotropic extreme type-II superconductors, as well as the universal quantum critical properties in 2D. On this basis we review: (i) the mounting evidence for 3D-XY behavior in optimally doped cuprate superconductors and the 3D to 2D crossover in the underdoped regime; (ii) the finite size limit...
متن کاملQuantum Protectorates in the Cuprate Superconductors
Following the identification of the pairing state, the major challenge in understanding the cuprate superconductors has been determining the evolution with doping and temperature of their anomalous normal state behavior. Key to this understanding is the experimentally determined magnetic phase diagram for the cuprates, which provides information on the protected magnetic properties of the norma...
متن کاملThermodynamics and quantum criticality in cuprate superconductors
We will present elementary scaling arguments focused on the thermodynamics in the proximity of the quantum critical point in the cuprate superconductors. Extending the analysis centered on the Grüneisen parameter by Rosch, Si, and co-workers to the cuprates, we demonstrate that a combination of specific-heat and chemical potential measurements can reveal the nature of the zero temperature singu...
متن کاملDirect measurement of the upper critical field in cuprate superconductors
In the quest to increase the critical temperature Tc of cuprate superconductors, it is essential to identify the factors that limit the strength of superconductivity. The upper critical field Hc2 is a fundamental measure of that strength, yet there is no agreement on its magnitude and doping dependence in cuprate superconductors. Here we show that the thermal conductivity can be used to directl...
