Normal State Properties

A phenomenological model, F, of the superconducting phase of systems with spin-charge separation and antiferromagnetically induced pairing is studied. Above Hc1, magnetic flux can always pierce the superconductor in vortices with flux hc/2e, but regimes are found in which vortices with flux hc/e are preferred. Little-Park and other experiments, which examine periodicities with a varying magnetic field, always observe a period of hc/2e. The low energy properties of a symplectic large-N expansion of a model of the cuprate superconductors are argued to be well described by F. This analysis and some normal state properties of the cuprates suggest that hc/e vortices should be stable at the lowest dopings away from the insulating state at which superconductivity first occurs.

We report low-temperature Hall coefficient in the normal state of the high-Tc superconductor Bi 2 Sr 2-x La x CuO 6+δ. The Hall coefficient was measured down to 0.5 K by suppressing superconductivity with a 60 T pulsed magnetic field. The carrier concentration was varied from overdoped to underdoped regimes by partially substituting Sr with La in a set of five samples. The observed saturation of the Hall coefficient at low temperatures suggests the ability to extract the carrier concentration of each sample. The most underdoped sample exhibits a diverging Hall coefficient at low temperatures, consistent with a depletion of carriers in the insulating ground state. The Hall number exhibits a sharp peak providing additional support for the existence of a phase boundary at the optimal doping.

We have shown previously that many normal state properties of high Tc superconductors in zero magnetic field can be understood in terms of a single universal function f(t) in the scaled variable t=T/T*, where T* is connected with temperature independent gap 2Δ=2kBT*, which gives the binding energy of a pair in analogy with dissociation of molecules. The function f(t) determines the fraction of bosons (B++) and fermions (h+) at temperature T and it is obtained from the mathematical treatment of chemical equilibrium with respect to the reaction B++⇌ 2h+. Since for magnetic fields of reasonable strength the Zeeman energy is much smaller than the pseudo gap Δ~100K-800K, the function f(t) in the normal state is largely independent of magnetic field. The main effect of the magnetic field is to increase the tendency for bosons to localize. This means that the critical density nL for delocalization in the ab-plane direction and the critical density for superfluidity nc (≳ nL) both increase with magnetic field. This causes the corresponding temperatures TBL(H) and Tc(H) to go down with the field. Assuming a power law dependence nc(H)/nc(0)=1+AHμ, the upper critical fields for several heavy fermion compounds are shown to fall into a single curve. The purpose here is to show that the upper critical field Hc2(y) (y=Tc(H)/Tc(0)) can be expressed in a simple way in terms of f(t). We show that this theory predicts all the shapes of Hc2(y) observed in several unconventinal superconductors such as Tl 2 Ba 2 CuO 6+δ, with Tc=15 K.

We report low-temperature magnetotransport in the normal state of the electron-doped superconductors, Nd 2-x Ce x CuO 4, Pr 2-x Ce x CuO 4, and La 2-x Ce x CuO 4, by suppressing the superconductivity with high magnetic fields. The normal state ρ-T curve shows an up-turn at low temperatures, which has a log T dependence with saturation at lowest temperatures. The up-turn is gradually suppressed with increasing magnetic field, resulting in negative magnetoresistance. We discuss these findings on the basis of the Kondo scattering originating from the magnetic moments of Cu 2+ ions.

We report measurements of out-of-plane (ρ c ) and in-plane (ρab) normal-state resistivities of single crystals of insulating PrBa2Cu3O 7-δ and strongly underdoped oxygen deficient YBa2Cu3O 6.41 using a flux transformer method. In the superconducting specimens, the onset of superconductivity was suppressed by a magnetic field of 9 T. We have found that the anisotropy ρc/ρab of these samples increases monotonically at low temperatures with no signs of saturation. The temperature dependence of ρc/ρab for YBa2Cu3O6.41 is well described by ρc/ρab=a +bT-2/3, but over a smaller temperature range than for insulating PrBa2Cu3O 7-δ. Both the absence of saturation of ρc/ρab and its T-2/3 dependence indicate two-dimensional conduction. This means that the average in-plane hopping distance of the localized charge carriers increases with decreasing T according to Mott's [Formula: see text] law, while the elementary step in the c-direction remains T independent, equal to the spacing between the bilayers.
