Nodeless d-wave superconducting pairing due to residual antiferromagnetism in underdoped Pr2-xCexCuO4-delta.

چکیده
We investigate the doping dependence of the penetration depth versus temperature in electron-doped Pr(2-x)Ce(x)CuO(4-delta) using a model which assumes the uniform coexistence of (mean-field) antiferromagnetism and superconductivity. Despite the presence of a d(x2-y2) pairing gap in the underlying spectrum, we find nodeless behavior of the low-T penetration depth in the underdoped case, in accord with experimental results. As doping increases, a linear-in-T behavior of the penetration depth, characteristic of d-wave pairing, emerges as the lower magnetic band crosses the Fermi level and creates a nodal Fermi surface pocket.

The Magnetic Origin of dx2-y2 High-Tc Superconductivity from Tunneling Spectroscopy Measurements on Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+x Single Crystals
The complete scenario of high-Tc superconductivity based on experimental data from electron-tunneling spectroscopy on underdoped, overdoped and Ni-doped Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+x single crystals using a break-junction technique is presented. There are two different types of superconductivity in cuprates: superconductivity due to pairing of spinons on charged stripes and magnetic superconductivity mediate...
متن کاملMicrowave Electrodynamics of the Electron-Doped Cuprate Superconductors Pr2−xCexCuO4−y and Nd2−xCexCuO4−y
The pairing state symmetry of the electron-doped cuprate superconductors is thought to be s-wave in nature, in contrast with their hole-doped counterparts which exhibit a d-wave symmetry. We re-examine this issue based on recent improvements in our electron-doped materials and our measurement techniques. We report microwave cavity perturbation measurements of the temperature dependence of the p...
متن کاملTunneling into the normal state of Pr2-xCexCuO4.
The temperature dependence of the tunneling conductance was measured for various doping levels of Pr(2-x)CexCuO4 using planar junctions. A normal state gap is seen at all doping levels studied, x=0.11 to x=0.19. We find it to vanish above a certain temperature T*. T* is greater than T(c) for the underdoped region and it follows T(c) on the overdoped side. This behavior suggests finite pairing a...

Wegeneralize the theory of Cooper-pairing by spin excitations in themetallic antiferromagnetic state to include situationswith electron and/or hole pockets.We show that Cooper-pairing arises from transverse spinwaves and fromgapped longitudinal spinfluctuations of comparable strength. However, each of these interactions, projected on a particular symmetry of the superconducting gap, acts primar...

We analyze the phase diagram of single and bi-layer cuprates using the gaugefield description of the t-J model. For T > TBE the in-plane fermion-pairing order parameter ∆‖ is eliminated by gauge field fluctuations, leading us to predict the absence of a spin-gap phase in single-layer cuprates. For bi-layer cuprates the inter-layer order parameter ∆⊥ is enhanced by spin correlations, and is less...
