Cuprate universal electronic spin response and the pseudogap from NMR
arXiv (Cornell University)(2023)
摘要
The understanding of high-temperature superconductivity, in particular in the
cuprates, is still central to condensed matter physics, and telltale
experimental laws for guiding theory are desirable. Here we report on such a
universal property concerning the linear response of the electronic matter to a
homogeneous static magnetic field. With the new law we can distinguish between
two different spin components in all cuprates. One is the expected spin from
the hybridized Cu 3d(x^2-y^2) and planar O 2p_σ states. It is material
independent in the sense that the metallic density of states is universal,
however, a temperature independent, doping dependent pseudogap causes changes
of the spin polarization as a function of temperature from excitations across
the gap. This pseudogap component shows a steep temperature dependence at
condensation, i.e. below the critical temperature, T_c, for
overdoped materials, and below the pseudogap temperature, T^*, at lower
doping levels. A second spin component originates from symmetric (or
anisotropic, ), metallic Cu states that do not involve planar O
significantly. The second component is family and doping dependent in the sense
that the density of states increases with doping. It can condense at the same
or lower temperatures as the pseudogap component, but the slope is
significantly different, suggesting different pairing scenarios. Our second
component reminds one of the proposed involvement of another Cu axial orbital
that relates to the distance or presence of the apical oxygen [1-3] and the
charge distribution in the CuO_2 plane [4,5], and finally the maximum
T_c.
