Area of Science:

  • Condensed Matter Physics
  • Materials Science
  • Superconductivity

Background:

  • Cuprate superconductors, such as La(2-x)Sr(x)CuO4, exhibit complex electronic properties sensitive to doping.
  • Understanding the relationship between doping and emergent electronic phases is crucial for advancing superconductivity research.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the in-plane resistivity (rho(ab)) of La(2-x)Sr(x)CuO4 single crystals.
  • To identify potential charge ordering phenomena as a function of hole doping concentration (x).

Main Methods:

  • Synthesis of high-quality La(2-x)Sr(x)CuO4 single crystals.
  • Precise measurement of in-plane resistivity (rho(ab)) across a range of hole doping levels.

Main Results:

  • Observed a tendency towards charge ordering at specific rational hole-doping fractions: 1/16, 3/32, 1/8, and 3/16.
  • The identified charge ordering is consistent with theoretical predictions.
  • Suggests a specific checkerboard-type ordering of Cooper pairs.

Conclusions:

  • Rational hole-doping fractions in La(2-x)Sr(x)CuO4 can induce charge ordering.
  • This finding supports theoretical models predicting checkerboard-type Cooper pair ordering at specific doping levels (x = (2m+1)/2n).
  • Highlights the importance of precise doping control in exploring exotic electronic states in cuprates.
