63Cu NQR evidence for spatial variation of hole concentration in La2-xSrxCuO4.

چکیده
We report experimental evidence for the spatial variation of hole concentration x(hole) in the high T(c) superconductor La2-xSrxCuO4 ( 0.04 < or = x < or = 0.16) via 63Cu NQR using 63Cu isotope enriched samples. We demonstrate that the extent of the spatial variation of the local hole concentration Delta(x)hole is reflected on (63)1/T1 and deduce the temperature dependence. Delta(x)hole increases below 500-600 K, and reaches values as large as Delta(x)hole/x approximately 0.5 below approximately 150 K. We estimate the length scale of the spatial variation in x(hole) to be R(hole) greater, similar 3 nm from an analysis of the NQR spectrum.

Cuprates La2−xSrxCuO4 Studied by Angle-resolved Photoemission Spectroscopy
We have performed a systematic angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) study of the high-Tc cuprates La2−xSrxCuO4, ranging from the underdoped insulator to the superconductor to the overdoped metal. We have revealed a systematic doping evolution of the band dispersions and (underlying) Fermi surfaces, pseudogap and quasi-particle features under the influence of strong electron-electro...
متن کاملJosephson plasmon and inhomogeneous superconducting state in La2-xSrxCuO4.
We report on the interlayer far infrared response for a series of La2-xSrxCuO4 crystals with 0.08<x<0.20 focusing on the survey of the Josephson plasmon resonance (JPR). The analysis of the JPR mode provides information on the local variation of the superfluid density within the CuO2 planes thus empowering one with a tool for "microscopy" on the superconducting condensate. Our results uncover t...
متن کاملOn the ”spin-freezing” mechanism in underdoped superconducting cuprates
The letter deals with the spin-freezing process observed by means of NMRNQR relaxation or by muon spin rotation in underdoped cuprate superconductors. This phenomenon, sometimes referred as coexistence of antiferromagnetic and superconducting order parameters, is generally thought to result from randomly distributed magnetic moments related to charge inhomogeneities (possibly stripes) which exh...
متن کاملPHYSICA C-SUPERCONDUCTIVITY AND ITS APPLICATIONS (2004) :670-671. Pseudogap and superconductivity on a common scale of hole concentration for high-T-c superconductors
Room-temperature thermoelectric power S has been systematically studied in a chain-free double-layer Y1-xCaxBa2Cu3O6. As a function of hole concentration per planer Cu atom (Ppl), S(Ppl) of Y1-xCaxBa2Cu3O6 (Ppl=x/2) behaves identically to that of single-layer La2-xSrxCuO4 (Ppl = x). We demonstrate the phase diagram for the double CuO2 layer YBa2Cu3Oy and Bi2Sr2CaCu2Oy system as a function of th...
متن کاملA ug 1 99 4 Theory of electron – hole asymmetry in doped CuO 2 planes
The magnetic phase diagrams, and other physical characteristics, of the hole– doped La2−xSrxCuO4 and electron–doped Nd2−xCexCuO4 high–temperature superconductors are profoundly different. Given that it is envisaged that the simplest Hamiltonians describing these systems are the same, viz. the t − t − J model, this is surprising. Here we relate these physical differences to their ground states’ ...
