19 Dec 2001 | | Journal: | Published in Nature volume 415 page 299 (2002) | | Subject: | Strongly Correlated Electrons; Superconductivity | cond-mat.str-el cond-mat.supr-con | | Affiliation: | Oak Ridge Natl Lab, Univ of Oxford), HM Ronnow (Inst Laue-Langevin), NB Christensen (Risoe Natl Lab, University of Copenhagen), G Aeppli (NEC Research Inst), K Lefmann (Risoe Natl Lab), DF McMorrow (Risoe Natl Lab), P Vorderwisch (Hahn-Maitner Inst), P | | Abstract: | One view of the cuprate high-transition temperature (high-Tc) superconductors is that they are conventional superconductors where the pairing occurs between weakly interacting quasiparticles, which stand in one-to-one correspondence with the electrons in ordinary metals - although the theory has to be pushed to its limit. An alternative view is that the electrons organize into collective textures (e.g. charge and spin stripes) which cannot be mapped onto the electrons in ordinary metals. The phase diagram, a complex function of various parameters (temperature, doping and magnetic field), should then be approached using quantum field theories of objects such as textures and strings, rather than point-like electrons. In an external magnetic field, magnetic flux penetrates type-II superconductors via vortices, each carrying one flux quantum. The vortices form lattices of resistive material embedded in the non-resistive superconductor and can reveal the nature of the ground state - e.g. a conventional metal or an ordered, striped phase - which would have appeared had superconductivity not intervened. Knowledge of this ground state clearly provides the most appropriate starting point for a pairing theory. Here we report that for one high-Tc superconductor, the applied field which imposes the vortex lattice, also induces antiferromagnetic order. Ordinary quasiparticle pictures cannot account for the nearly field-independent antiferromagnetic transition temperature revealed by our measurements. | | Source: | arXiv, cond-mat/0201349 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
