Visualizing the electronic structure of infinite-layer cuprate by scanning tunnelling spectroscopy
ORAL
Abstract
Infinite layer Sr1-xLaxCuO2+δ is a prototype to study the high-Tc superconductivity in cuprates. Using oxide-MBE technique, we fabricate Sr1-xLaxCuO2+δ films with different doping levels. Mottness has been observed in lightly electron-doped Sr1-xLaxCuO2 by in-situ STM. We also find a phase transition to hole-doped Sr1-xLaxCuO2+δ when x exceeds 0.1. Apical oxygens are responsible for this electron- to hole-cuprate transition, which is supported by transmission electron microscope measurements. By comparing the electronic structures in electron- and hole-doped Sr1-xLaxCuO2+δ, we give some clues to understand the e-h asymmetry in cuprates.
