Commensurate spin dynamics in the superconducting state of an electron-doped cuprate superconductor.

چکیده
We report neutron scattering studies on two single crystal samples of the electron-doped (n-type) superconducting (SC) cuprate Nd2-xCexCuO4 (x=0.15) with T(c)=18 and 25 K. Unlike the hole-doped (p-type) SC cuprates, where incommensurate magnetic fluctuations commonly exist, the n-type cuprate shows commensurate magnetic fluctuations at the tetragonal (1/2 1/2 0) reciprocal points both in the SC and in the normal state. A spin gap opens up when the n-type cuprate becomes SC, as in the optimally doped p-type La2-xSrxCuO4. The gap energy, however, increases gradually up to about 4 meV as T decreases from T(c) to 2 K, which contrasts with the spin pseudogap behavior with a T-independent gap energy in the SC state of p-type cuprates.

Magnetic resonance in the spin excitation spectrum of electron-doped cuprate superconductors.
We study the emergence of a magnetic resonance in the superconducting state of the electron-doped cuprate superconductors. We show that the recently observed resonance peak in the electron-doped superconductor Pr0.88LaCe0.12CuO4-delta is consistent with an overdamped spin exciton located near the particle-hole continuum. We present predictions for the magnetic-field dependence of the resonance ...
متن کاملA photoemission investigation of the superconducting gap in an electron-doped cuprate superconductor
We have performed angle resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (ARPES) on the electron-doped cuprate superconductor Nd Ce CuO . Evidence is found for an anisotropic superconducting gap that is consistent with the existence of a 1.85 0.15 4 d-wave superconducting order parameter in the n-type cuprate superconductors. 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.

متن کامل1 Superconductivity and spin fluctuations in the electron - doped infinitely - layered high
We report Cu NMR studies on uniaxially aligned and unaligned powder samples of an electron-doped infinitely-layered high Tc cuprate superconductor Sr0.9La0.1CuO2 (Tc =42 K). We measured the nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate 1/T1 up to 800 K. We found from the temperature dependence of 1/T1T that the wave-vector-averaged spin susceptibility is highly enhanced by spin-fluctuations in the norma...
متن کاملSuperconducting gap anisotropy in Nd1.85Ce0.15CuO4: results from photoemission.
We have performed angle resolved photoelectron spectroscopy on the electron doped cuprate superconductor Nd1.85Ce0.15CuO4. A comparison of the leading edge midpoints between the superconducting and normal states reveals a small, but finite shift of 1.5-2 meV near the ( pi,0) position, but no observable shift along the zone diagonal near ( pi/2, pi/2). This is interpreted as evidence for an anis...
