Angle-resolved mapping of the Fermi velocity in quasi-two-dimensional conductors and superconductors: Probing quasiparticles in nodal superconductors
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe a technique which enables angle-resolved mapping of the in-plane Fermi velocity svFd for a quasi-two-dimensional sQ2Dd conductor. The method is based on a magnetic resonance effect in the ac conductivity for in-plane magnetic fields, which has recently been successfully applied to a Q2D organic conductor. In this article, we consider the possibility of using this method to probe the normal quasiparticles in nodal superconductors. We briefly explain the principle behind the conductivity resonance, and then present numerical simulations for the normal and superconducting states of a d-wave superconductor. © 2005 American Institute of Physics. fDOI: 10.1063/1.1851425g

Relaxation and Thermal Conductivity of Hot and Thermal Quasiparticles and Fermi Liquid Interactions in d-wave Superconductors
In this paper, we calculate theoretically the relaxation rates of hot, thermal and antinodal quasiparticles by using Fermi’s golden rule. The transition probabilities at low temperatures express in terms of Bogoliubov coefficients, singlet and triplet scattering amplitudes and dimensionless Landau parameters. The values of Landau parameters may be determined by comparison with the experimental ...
متن کاملAngle-resolved mapping of the fermi velocity in a quasi-two-dimensional organic conductor.
We demonstrate a new method for determining the Fermi velocity in quasi-two-dimensional (Q2D) conductors. Application of a magnetic field parallel to the conducting layers results in periodic open orbit quasiparticle trajectories along the Q2D Fermi surface. Averaging of this motion over the Fermi surface leads to a resonance in the interlayer microwave conductivity. The resonance frequency is ...
متن کاملDichotomy between nodal and antinodal quasiparticles in underdoped (La2-xSrx)CuO4 superconductors.
High resolution angle-resolved photoemission measurements on an underdoped (La(2-x)Srx)CuO4 system show that, at energies below 70 meV, the quasiparticle peak is well defined around the (pi/2,pi/2) nodal region and disappears rather abruptly when the momentum is changed from the nodal point to the (pi,0) antinodal point along the underlying "Fermi surface." It indicates that there is an extra l...

Two decades ago the epoch making discovery of high Tc cuprate superconductivity by Bednorz and Müller shocked the world’s superconductivity community. However, already in 1979 and 1980, the first heavy fermion superconductor CeCu2Si2 and organic superconductor (TMTSF)2PF6 have been discovered respectively. Also we know now that all these superconductors are unconventional and nodal. Further t...
متن کاملThree-dimensional Majorana fermions in chiral superconductors
Using a systematic symmetry and topology analysis, we establish that three-dimensional chiral superconductors with strong spin-orbit coupling and odd-parity pairing generically host low-energy nodal quasiparticles that are spin-nondegenerate and realize Majorana fermions in three dimensions. By examining all types of chiral Cooper pairs with total angular momentum J formed by Bloch electrons wi...
