High Field Specific Heat of the Cuprate Superconductor LSCO across the Phase Diagram

ORAL

Abstract

Several samples of superconducting LSCO have been measured in specific heat experiments in magnetic fields up to 45 Teslas. The evolution of the electronic density of states is examined as a function of field and doping to reveal the nature of the vortex and normal state quasi-particle contributions within the zero-field superconducting regime.
