Magnetic Field Tuning of Charge and Spin Order in the Cuprate Superconductors
نویسنده
چکیده
Recent neutron scattering, nuclear magnetic resonance, and scanning tunneling microscopy experiments have yielded valuable new information on the interplay between charge and spin density wave order and superconductivity in the cuprate superconductors, by using an applied perpendicular magnetic field to tune the ground state properties. We compare the results of these experiments with the predictions of a theory which assumed that the ordinary superconductor was proximate to a quantum transition to a superconductor with co-existing spin/charge density wave order.

Competing orders in a magnetic field: spin and charge order in the cuprate superconductors
We describe two-dimensional quantum spin fluctuations in a superconducting Abrikosov flux lattice induced by a magnetic field applied to a doped Mott insulator. Complete numerical solutions of a self-consistent large N theory provide detailed information on the phase diagram and on the spatial structure of the dynamic spin spectrum. Our results apply to phases with and without longrange spin de...
متن کاملUniversal magnetic excitation spectrum in cuprates
Wehave recently used inelastic neutron scattering to measure themagnetic excitation spectrum of La1.875Ba0.125CuO4 up to 200 meV. This particular cuprate is of interest because it exhibits static charge and spin stripe order. The observed spectrum is remarkably similar to that found in superconducting YBa2Cu3O6+x and La2−xSrxCuO4; the main differences are associated with the spin gap. We sugges...
متن کاملSpin excitations in fluctuating stripe phases of doped cuprate superconductors.
Using a phenomenological lattice model of coupled spin and charge modes, we determine the spin susceptibility in the presence of fluctuating stripe charge order. We assume the charge fluctuations to be slow compared to those of the spins, and combine Monte Carlo simulations for the charge order parameter with exact diagonalization of the spin sector. Our calculations unify the spin dynamics of ...
متن کاملQuantum phase transitions of correlated electrons in two dimensions
We review the theories of a few quantum phase transitions in two-dimensional correlated electron systems and discuss their application to the cuprate high temperature superconductors. The coupled-ladder antiferromagnet displays a transition between the Néel state and a spin gap paramagnet with a sharp S = 1 exciton: we develop a careful argument which eventually establishes that this transition...
متن کاملStripes and superconductivity in one-dimensional self-consistent model
We show that many observable properties of high temperature superconductors can be obtained in the frameworks of one-dimensional self-consistent model with included superconducting correlations. Analytical solutions for spin, charge and superconductivity order parameters are found. The ground state of the model at low hole doping is a spin-charge solitonic superstructure. Increasing of doping l...
