Vanishing of phase coherence in underdoped Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ
Open accessAbstract
Although the binding of electrons into Cooper pairs is essential in forming the superconducting state, its remarkable properties—zero resistance and perfect diamagnetism—require phase coherence among the pairs as well. When coherence is lost at the transition temperature T c, pairing remains, together with phase correlations which are finite in space and time. In conventional metals, Cooper pairs with short-range phase coherence survive no more than 1 K above T c. In underdoped high-T c copper oxides, spectroscopic evidence for some form of pairing is found up to a temperature T *, which is roughly 100 K above T c (refs 1,2,3). How this pairing and Cooper-pair formation are related is a central problem in high-T c superconductivity. The nature of this relationship hinges on the extent to which phase correlations accompany pairing in the normal state. Here we report measurements of high-frequency conductivity that track the phase-correlation timeτ in the normal state of the Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ family of underdoped copper oxide superconductors. Just above T c, we find that τ reflects the motion of thermally generated topological defects in the phase, or vortices,. However, vortex proliferation reduces τ to a value indistinguishable from the lifetime of normal-state electrons at 100 K, well below T *.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
