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.

There is strong evidence that magnetic interactions play a crucial role in the mechanism driving high-temperature superconductivity in cuprate superconductors. To investigate this further we have done a series of neutron scattering measurements on La 2-x Sr x CuO 4 (LSCO) in an applied magnetic field. Below Tc the field penetrates the superconductor via an array of normal state metallic inclusions or vortices. Phase coherent superconductivity characterized by zero resistance sets in at the lower field-dependent irreversibility temperature (Tirr). We have measured optimally doped LSCO (x = 0.16, Tc = 38.5 K ) and underdoped LSCO (x = 0.10, Tc = 29 K ); both have an enhanced antiferromagnetic response in a field. Measurements of the optimally doped system at H = 7.5 T show that sub-gap spin fluctuations first disappear with the loss of finite resistivity at Tirr, but then reappear at a lower temperature with increased lifetime and correlation length compared to the normal state. In the underdoped system elastic antiferromagnetism develops below Tc in zero field, and is significantly enhanced by application of a magnetic field. Phase coherent superconductivity is then established within the antiferromagnetic phase at Tirr; thus, the situation in underdoped LSCO is the reverse of that for the optimally doped LSCO where the zero-resistance state develops first before the onset of antiferromagnetism.

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.
