چکیده
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)CuO(4-y), a clear predominant d(x2-y2)-wave behavior is observed at T=4.2 K. Both compounds were also investigated at T=1.6 K, presenting no indications for a change to a predominant s-wave symmetry with decreasing temperature.

Imaging of order parameter induced pi phase shifts in cuprate superconductors by low-temperature scanning electron microscopy.
Low-temperature scanning electron microscopy (LTSEM) has been used to image the supercurrent distribution in ramp-type Josephson junctions between Nb and either the electron-doped cuprate Nd_{2-x}Ce_{x}CuO_{4-y} or the hole-doped cuprate YBa_{2}Cu_{3}O_{7}. For zigzag-shaped devices in the short junction limit the critical current is strongly suppressed at zero applied magnetic field. The LTSEM...

Slow antiferromagnetic dynamics in the low temperature tetragonal phase of La 2−x Sr x CuO 4 as revealed by ESR of Gd spin probes Abstract Measuring the ESR of Gd spin probes we have studied the magnetic properties of the copper oxide planes in the low temperature tetragonal (LTT) phase of Eu doped La 2−x Sr x CuO 4. The data give evidence that at particular levels of Sr and Eu doping the frequ...
متن کاملMean-field pairing theory for the charge-stripe phase of high-temperature cuprate superconductors.
Striped high-T(c) superconductors such as La(2-y-x)Nd(y)Sr(x)CuO(4) and La(2-x)Ba(x)CuO(4) near x = 1/8 show a fascinating competition between spin and charge order and superconductivity. A theory for these systems therefore has to capture both the spin correlations of an antiferromagnet and the pair correlations of a superconductor. For this purpose we present here an effective Hartree-Fock th...
متن کاملOptical Properties of (pr,ce) 2 Cuo 4
We studied the optical conductivity of electron doped Pr1−xCexCuO4 from the underdoped to the overdoped regime. The observation of low to high frequency spectral weight transfer reveals the presence of a gap, except in the overdoped regime. A Drude peak at all temperatures shows the partial nature of this gap. The close proximity of the doping at which the gap vanishes to the antiferro-magnetic...
متن کاملNMR evidence for a two-step phase separation in Nd1.85Ce0.15CuO4-delta.
By Cu NMR we studied the spin and charge structure in Nd(2-x)Ce(x)CuO(4-delta). For x=0.15, starting from a superconducting sample, the low temperature magnetic order in the sample reoxygenated under 1 bar oxygen at 900 degrees C reveals a peculiar modulation of the internal field, indicative of a phase characterized by large charge droplets ("blob" phase). By prolonged reoxygenation at 4 bars ...
