Resonance in the electron-doped high-Tc superconductor Pr0.88LaCe0.12CuO(4-delta)

Abstract

In conventional superconductors, the interaction that pairs the electrons to form the superconducting state is mediated by lattice vibrations (phonons). In high-transition temperature (high-Tc) copper oxides, it is generally believed that magnetic excitations play a fundamental role in the superconducting mechanism because superconductivity occurs when mobile 'electrons' or 'holes' are doped into the antiferromagnetic parent compounds. Indeed, a sharp magnetic excitation termed "resonance" has been observed by neutron scattering in a number of hole-doped materials. The resonance is intimately related to superconductivity, and its interaction with charged quasi-particles observed by photoemission, optical conductivity, and tunneling suggests that it plays a similar role as phonons in conventional superconductors. However, the relevance of the resonance to high-Tc superconductivity has been in doubt because so far it has been found only in hole-doped materials. Here we report the discovery of the resonance in electron-doped superconducting Pr0.88LaCe0.12CuO(4-delta) (Tc = 24 K). We find that the resonance energy (Er) is proportional to Tc via Er = 5.8kBTc (kB is the Boltzmann's constant) for all high-Tc superconductors irrespective of electron- or hole-doping (Fig. 1e). Our results demonstrate that the resonance is a fundamental property of the superconducting copper oxides and therefore must play an essential role in the mechanism of superconductivity.
