Low - energy spectroscopic mapping studies in optimally - doped Ca 2 x Na x CuO 2 Cl 2

چکیده
We performed high-resolution scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy on an optimally-doped Ca2 xNaxCuO2Cl2 crystal with Tc 25 K. The so-called ‘‘checkerboard’’ local-density-of-state modulation previously found in heavily underdoped regime also manifests in the spectroscopic map of the optimally-doped sample. In addition, spatially-inhomogeneous energy gap with peaks at the gap edges is observed below about 10 meV. The gap tends to be buried at elevated temperatures and correlates with the checkerboard modulation. These results suggest that the gap is related to superconductivity which coexists with the checkerboard modulation. 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Correlations versus Superfluid Density in La 2 − x Sr x CuO
We have performed muon spin relaxation and low field ac-susceptibility measurements in a series of high quality samples of La 2−x Sr x CuO 4 (x = 0.08 − 0.24) as a function of temperature. Superconductivity is found to co-exist with low temperature spin glass order up to the optimally doped region where the normal state pseudogap also closes. The systematic depletion of the superfluid density w...

متن کاملPhase-sensitive order parameter symmetry test experiments utilizing Nd(2-x)Ce(x)CuO(4-y)/Nb zigzag junctions.
Phase-sensitive order parameter symmetry test experiments are presented on the electron-doped high-T(c) cuprate Nd(2-x)Ce(x)CuO(4-y). These experiments have been conducted using zigzag-shaped thin film Josephson structures, in which the Nd(2-x)Ce(x)CuO(4-y) is connected to the low-T(c) superconductor Nb via an Au barrier layer. For the optimally doped as well as for the overdoped Nd(2-x)Ce(x)Cu...
متن کاملMeasurement of unique magnetic and superconducting phases in oxygen-doped high-temperature superconductors La(2-x)Sr(x)CuO(4+y).
We present a combined magnetic neutron scattering and muon spin rotation study of the nature of the magnetic and superconducting phases in electronically phase separated La(2-x)Sr(x)CuO(4+y), x=0.04, 0.065, 0.09. For all samples, we find long-range modulated magnetic order below T(N) is approximately equal to Tc=39 K. In sharp contrast to oxygen-stoichiometric La(2-x)Sr(x)CuO(4), we find that t...
متن کاملSystematic (63)Cu NQR and (89)Y NMR study of spin dynamics in Y(1-z)Ca(z)Ba(2)Cu(3)O(y) across the superconductor-insulator boundary.
We demonstrate that the spin dynamics in underdoped Y(1-z)Ca(z)Ba(2)Cu(3)O(y) for y approximately equal to 6.0 exhibit qualitatively the same behavior to underdoped La(2-x)Sr(x)CuO(4) for an equal amount of hole concentration p = z/2 = x< or =0.11. However, a spin gap appears as more holes are doped into the CuO(2) plane by increasing the oxygen concentration to y approximately equal to 6.5 for...
