Pairing and Phase Coherence in High Temperature Superconductors
نویسنده
چکیده
Mobile holes in an antiferromagnetic insulator form a slowly fluctuating array of quasi one-dimensional metallic stripes, which induce a spin gap or pseudogap in the intervening Mott-insulating regions. The mobile holes on an individual stripe acquire a spin gap via pair hopping between the stripe and its environment; i.e. via a magnetic analog of the usual superconducting proximity effect. This process is the analog of pairing in conventional superconductors. At non-vanishing stripe densities, Josephson coupling between stripes produces a dimensional crossover to a state with long-range superconducting phase coherence. In contrast to conventional superconductors, the superconducting state is characterised by a high density of (spin) pairs, but the phase stiffness, which is determined by the density and mobility of holes on the stripes, is very low.

It is a common knowledge that the formation of electron pairs is a necessary ingredient of any theoretical work describing superconductivity. Thus, finding the mechanism of the formation of the electron pairs is of utmost importance. There are some experiments on high transition temperature superconductors which support the electron-phonon (e-ph) interactions as the pairing mechanism (ARPES),...
متن کاملSeparating pairing from quantum phase coherence dynamics above the superconducting transition by femtosecond spectroscopy
In classical superconductors an energy gap and phase coherence appear simultaneously with pairing at the transition to the superconducting state. In high-temperature superconductors, the possibility that pairing and phase coherence are distinct and independent processes has led to intense experimental search of their separate manifestations. Using femtosecond spectroscopy methods we now show th...
متن کاملS- and D-wave Pairing in Short Coherence Length Superconductors
Over the past three years or so the evidence has become overwhelming that the cuprate high Tc superconductors have a d-wave pairing state[1]. The measurements of Wollman et al.[2] and of Tsuei et al.[3] are especially convincing since they do not depend on the microscopic physics of the energy gap, but instead depend only on the order parameter phase. Other experiments, such as photoemission[4,...
متن کاملSuperconducting properties of copper oxide high - temperature
The equations for the magnon pairing theory of high-temperature copper-oxide-based superconductors are solved and used to calculate several properties, leading to results for specific heat and critical magnetic fields consistent with experimental results. In addition, the theory suggests an explanation of why there are two sets of transition temperatures (T, 90 K and Tc 55 K) for the YBa2Cu306+...

To understand the mechanism of superconductivity in unconventional super onductors is one of the big challenges in the field of superconductivity. Based on the BCS theory, there is a direct relation between the pairing mechanism and the symmetry of the order parameter. Therefore, identification of the structure of the superconducting gap or the order parameter provides key information on the pa...
