28 Jun 2007 | Abstract: | In challenging the mystery of high-temperature superconductivity, the key is
the identification of the energy scales associated with the onset of a coherent
condensate of superconducting quasiparticles, or Cooper pairs. This might in
particular provide a measure of the pairing strength and of the coherence of
the condensate, and ultimately reveal the nature of the elusive pairing
mechanism. An analysis of a large body of experimental data shows that in the
cuprates there are two fundamental energy scales coexisting over the whole
superconducting dome. These are the pseudogap and the superconducting gap,
which reflect the pairing strength and superconducting condensation energy,
respectively. It is suggested that the latter is probed also by the magnetic
neutron resonance, which measures a characteristic collective excitation of the
condensate. | Source: | arXiv, arxiv.0706.4282 | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites |
