Quasiparticle Spectrum of Vortices in Cuprates
نویسندگان
چکیده
The quasiparticle excitation spectrum of an isolated vortex in a clean layered d-wave superconductor is calculated, using both the Bogoliubov–de Gennes and the quasiclassical Eilenberger equations. Analytical solutions are obtained within the model of step-variation of the gap function, adjusting the Caroli, de Gennes and Matricon approach for low-lying excitations in cuprates. A large peak in the density of states in the ”pancake” vortex core is found, caused by the two-dimensional and strong coupling nature of high-temperature superconductivity.

Constituents of the quasiparticle spectrum along the nodal direction of high-Tc cuprates.
Applying the Kramers-Kronig consistent procedure, developed earlier, we investigate in detail the formation of the quasiparticle spectrum along the nodal direction of high-Tc cuprates. The heavily discussed "70 meV kink" on the renormalized dispersion exhibits a strong temperature and doping dependence when purified from structural effects such as bilayer splitting, diffraction replicas, etc. T...
متن کاملQuasiparticle Excitation Spectrum of an Isolated Vortex in a High–Temperature Superconductor
The quasiparticle energy spectrum of an isolated vortex in a clean layered d-wave superconductor is calculated. The Bogoliubov–de Gennes equations are solved perturbatively, within the model of step-variation of the gap function, adjusting the Caroli, de Gennes and Matricon approach for low-lying excitations in cuprates. A large peak in the density of states in a ”pancake” vortex is found, as a...

The experimental studies include spatially resolved scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS) experiments and bulk magnetization measurements, and the theoretical modeling involves developing a ...
متن کاملPseudogap and quantum-transition phenomenology in HTS cuprates
The low-energy excitation spectrum of HTS cuprates is examined in the light of thermodynamic, transport, quasiparticle and spin properties. Changes in the thermodynamic spectrum associated with the normal-state pseudogap disappear abruptly at a critical doping state, pcrit = 0.19 holes per Cu. Moreover, ARPES data at 100K show that heavily damped quasiparticles (QP) near (π,0) suddenly recover ...
متن کاملOFFPRINT Scanning tunneling spectroscopic evidence for magnetic-field–induced microscopic orders in the high-Tc superconductor YBa2Cu3O7−δ
We report spatially resolved tunneling spectroscopic evidence for field-induced microscopic orders in the high-Tc superconductor YBa2Cu3O7−δ. The spectral characteristics inside vortices reveal a pseudogap (VCO) larger than the superconducting gap (∆SC) as well as a subgap (∆′) smaller than ∆SC, and the spectral weight shifts steadily from ∆SC to VCO and ∆ ′ upon increasing magnetic field.
