Las firmas termodinámicas de criticidad cuántica en superconductores de cuprato
Nature
|February 15, 2019
Resumen
La fase pseudogap en los superconductores de cuprato termina en un punto crítico cuántico (QCP). Este QCP, ubicado en el nivel de dopaje p*, se identifica mediante mediciones de calor específicas, lo que sugiere su papel en la superconductividad.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Física de la materia condensada
- Ciencias de los materiales
Sus antecedentes:
- Los superconductores de cuprato exhiben tres fenómenos clave vinculados por el nivel de dopaje p*.
- En p*, la fase pseudogap termina, la resistividad se vuelve linealmente dependiente de la temperatura, y la superconductividad forma una cúpula.
- La naturaleza de p* y si significa una transición de fase cuántica sigue sin estar clara.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Investigar la naturaleza fundamental del nivel de dopaje p* en los superconductores de cuprato.
- Para determinar si p* representa una transición de fase cuántica.
Principales métodos:
- Mediciones del calor específico (C) de los cupratos Eu-LSCO y Nd-LSCO a bajas temperaturas.
- Aplicación de fuertes campos magnéticos para suprimir la superconductividad.
- Las mediciones se llevaron a cabo en un amplio rango de dopaje que abarca p*.
Principales resultados:
- La contribución electrónica al calor específico dividido por la temperatura (Cel/T) muestra un fuerte pico en p*.
- Cel/T exhibe una dependencia log{1/T) a medida que la temperatura se acerca a cero.
- Estos hallazgos son firmas termodinámicas clásicas de un punto crítico cuántico.
Conclusiones:
- La fase pseudogap en cuprates termina en un punto crítico cuántico (QCP).
- Las fluctuaciones asociadas con este QCP probablemente contribuyen al emparejamiento de ondas d.
- El QCP también está implicado en la dispersión anómala de los portadores de carga en cupratos.

It is said that the energy of an electron in an atom is quantized; that is, it can be equal only to certain specific values and can jump from one energy level to another but not transition smoothly or stay between these levels.

Third Law of Thermodynamics
22.0K
A pure, perfectly crystalline solid possessing no kinetic energy (that is, at a temperature of absolute zero, 0 K) may be described by a single microstate, as its purity, perfect crystallinity,and complete lack of motion means there is but one possible location for each identical atom or molecule comprising the crystal (W = 1). According to the Boltzmann equation, the entropy of this system is zero.

Second Law of Thermodynamics
26.9K
In the quest to identify a property that may reliably predict the spontaneity of a process, a promising candidate has been identified: entropy. Processes that involve an increase in entropy of the system (ΔS > 0) are very often spontaneous; however, examples to the contrary are plentiful. By expanding consideration of entropy changes to include the surroundings, a significant conclusion regarding the relation between this property and spontaneity may be reached. In thermodynamic models, the...

Second Law of Thermodynamics

The Second Law of Thermodynamics states that entropy, or the amount of disorder in a system, increases each time energy is transferred or transformed. Each energy transfer results in a certain amount of energy that is lost—usually in the form of heat—that increases the disorder of the surroundings. This can also be demonstrated in a classic food web. Herbivores harvest chemical energy from plants and release heat and carbon dioxide into the environment. Carnivores harvest the...

Superconductor
1.8K
A substance that reaches superconductivity, a state in which magnetic fields cannot penetrate, and there is no electrical resistance, is referred to as a superconductor. In 1911, Heike Kamerlingh Onnes of Leiden University, a Dutch physicist, observed a relation between the temperature and the resistance of the element mercury. The mercury sample was then cooled in liquid helium to study the linear dependence of resistance on temperature. It was observed that, as the temperature decreased, the...

A superconductor is a substance that offers zero resistance to the electric current when it drops below a critical temperature. Zero resistance is not the only interesting phenomenon as materials reach their transition temperatures. A second effect is the exclusion of magnetic fields. This is known as the Meissner effect. A light, permanent magnet placed over a superconducting sample will levitate in a stable position above the superconductor. High-speed trains that levitate on strong...
