Second Harmonic Generation in the Cuprate Family of High Temperature Superconductors
نویسندگان
چکیده
We outline and summarize the work completed in Cundiff Group during the summer of 2011 in the process of developing an aparatus to test the symmetry properties of the cuprate family of high temperature superconductors. We describe the theory this experiment is based in, purposed experimental setup, and progress toward its completion as well as future work on the project.

توضیحاتی درباره نظریههای ابررسانایی دمای بالا
The recently discovered MgB2 superconductors have a record transition temperature for a BCS superconductor due to the high vibration frequencies associated with its light elements. The transition temperatures in the cuprate family of superconductors are much higher but these do not fit the BCS paradigm. The most promising microscopic origin for their many anomalous properties lies in magnetic...
متن کاملSpectroscopic Studies of Quasiparticle Low-Energy Excitations in Cuprate and Iron-Based High-Temperature Superconductors
Recent development in the physics of high-temperature superconductivity is reviewed, with special emphasis on the studies of the low-energy excitations of cuprate and iron-based superconductors. For cuprate superconductors, a phenomenology based on coexisting competing orders with superconductivity in the ground state of these doped Mott insulators is shown to provide a consistent account for a...
متن کاملO ct 2 00 2 Symmetry Considerations for the Detection of Second - Harmonic Generation in Cuprates in the Pseudogap phase
A proposal to test the proposed time-reversal and inversion breaking phase in the Pseudogap region of the Cuprate compounds through the variation of Second-harmonic generation intensity with temperature and polarization and angle of incidence is presented.
متن کاملOxygen-isotope effect on the in-plane penetration depth in cuprate superconductors
Muon-spin rotation (μSR) studies of the oxygen isotope (O/O) effect (OIE) on the in-plane magnetic field penetration depth λab in cuprate high-temperature superconductors (HTS) are presented. First, the doping dependence of the OIE on the transition temperature Tc in various HTS is briefly discussed. It is observed that different cuprate families show a similar doping dependence of the OIE on T...
متن کاملPersistent Photoinduced Effects in High - T , Superconductors
The field of superconductivity has gained much attention in recent years due to the discovery of the high temperature cuprate superconductors. Besides their high transition temperature (T,s up to = 160 K), they show a variety of physical properties that are remarkably different from those of conventional superconductors. Two of these are persistent photoconductivity (PPC) and persistent photoin...
