Pseudogap: superconducting fluctuations from quantum to thermal in high Tc copper oxide superconductor
POSTER
Abstract
We performed angular dependent torque measurement results on a series of Bi$_2$Sr$_{2-x}$La$_x$CuO$_{6+\delta}$ (La dooped Bi2201) single crystals. Our measurement results show that the diamagnetic signal above superconducting transition temperature $T_c$ is a result of combination of thermal and quantum fluctuations. The pseudogap line, which could be a crossover line from thermal to quantum fluctuations, follows a universal equation, applied also in CeCoIn$_5$ and Pr$_{2-x}$Ce$_x$CuO$_{4-y}$. The quantum fluctuations in Bi2201 could be associated with two quantum critical points located in underdoped and overdoped region.
