  2. Motivation q1D materials: proximity (competition and/or coexistence) of superconductivity & magnetic/charge ordered phases (La,Y,Sr,Ca)14Cu24O41 : spin chain/ladder composite q1D cuprates strongly interacting q1D electron system Task: assemble phase diagrams to catalyze discussions on the nature of superconductivity and charge-density wave and their relationship with the spin-gap

  3. t-J(-t’-J’) model for ladders chain layer E.Dagotto et al., PRB’92 ladders map onto 1D chain with effective U<0 for hole pairing! U<0, t≠0 V>0: 2kF CDW V<0: singlet SC V.J.Emery, PRB’76 pairing of the holes superconducting or CDW correlations spin gap doped holes enter O2p orbitals  form ZhangRice singlet with Cu spin

  4. Crystallographic structure (La,Y,Sr,Ca)14Cu24O41 CuO2 chains A14 Cu2O3 ladders b=12.9 Å cC cL a=11.4 Å Chains: Ladders:cC=2.75 ÅcL=3.9 Å 10·cC≈7·cL≈27.5 Å cL/cC=√2

  5. Bond configurations and dimensionality CuO2 chains A14 Cu2O3 ladders cC cL Chains: Ladders:cC=2.75 ÅcL=3.9 Å 10·cC≈7·cL≈27.5 Å Cu-O-Cu bonds 180o - AF, J>0 90o- FM, J<0

  6. Magnetic structure and holes distribution (La,Y)y(Sr,Ca)14-yCu24O41 y≠0, all holes in chains No charge ordering Sr14-xCaxCu24O41 x=0, around 1 hole in ladders increases for x≠0 backtransfer to chains at low T 2D AF dimer / charge order Cu2+ spin ½ holes O2p orbitals

  7. T> Tco Nearest neighbor hopping Physics of chains:dc transport in (La,Y)y(Sr,Ca)14-yCu24O41 Tco= 300 K y=3 y=3 T< Tco Mott’s variable range hopping Tco = 330 K y=5.2 Dimensionality of hopping: d=1

  8. No collective response ac response in y=3 nco- crossover frequency: ac hopping overcomes dc Quasi-optical microwave/FIR: hopping in addition to phonon Hopping dies out

  22. pressure removes insulating phase no superconductivity SC: x≥10 i T<12K, p= 3-8 GPa Nagata et al., JPSJ’97 x=0 x=11.5 Motoyama et al., EPL’02 Piskunov et al., PRB’04 NMR under pressure x=0 & x=12, p=3.2 GPa Fujiwara et al., PRL’03 in x=12 pressure only decreases spin gap, low lying excitations are present (Korringa behavior in T1-1) in x=0, the same, but no low-lying excitations and no SC!

  25. HT phase: Mott-Hubbard insulator(1/2 filling, U/W>1) on-siteU, inter-siteV, hole-doping dh, bandwidth W=4t b b b Increase ladder/chain coupling increase dhchange V, U b decrease lattice parameters Ca-substitution Pressure a a a c c c Increase W change U/W Pachot et al., PRB‘99 CDW suppresed due to changes in U/W, V, dh(and disorder) H.T. phase persists – “disorder resistant” The nature of H.T. insulating phase is the key for CDW suppression nesting: strong e-e interactions – the concept not applicable, in principle – dimensionality change also contradicts disorder: renders Anderson insulator – but, this wouldn’t be removed by pressure

  26. Instabilities in 1D weakly interacting Fermi gas instabilities in the system proximity of SC and magnetic/charge order 4 possible scattering processes a-backward, q=2kF, short range interactions (Pauli principle or on-site U) b-forward, q=0, long range interactions c-Umklapp, q=4kF, in a half-filled band, lattice vector equals 4kF and cancels scattering momentum transfer d-forward, q=0
