3 Dec 1999 | | Subject: | Superconductivity | cond-mat.supr-con | | Abstract: | Angular-dependent magnetic torque measurements performed near the critical temperature on single crystals of HgBa_{2}CuO_{4+y}, La_{2-x}Sr{x}CuO_{4}, and YBa_{2}Cu_{3}O_{6.93} are scaled, following the 3D XY model, in order to determine the scaling function dG^{pm}(z)/dz which describes the universal critical properties near T_{c}. A systematic shift of the scaling function with increasing effective mass anisotropy gamma = (m_{ab}*/m_{c}*)^{1/2} is observed, which may be understood in terms of a 3D-2D crossover. Further evidence for a 3D-2D crossover is found from temperature-dependent torque measurements carried out in different magnetic fields at different field orientations delta, which show a quasi 2D "crossing region’’ (M*,T*). The occurrence of this "crossing phenomenon’’ is explained in a phenomenological way from the weak z dependence of the scaling function around a value z = z*. The "crossing’’ temperature T* is found to be angular-dependent. Torque measurements above T_{c} reveal that fluctuations are strongly enhanced in the underdoped regime where the anisotropy is large, whereas they are less important in the overdoped regime. | | Source: | arXiv, cond-mat/9912052 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
