Finite-temperature phase diagram of nonmagnetic impurities in high-temperature superconductors using a d=3 tJ model with quenched disorder

Abstract

We study a quenched disordered d=3 tJ Hamiltonian with static vacancies as a model of nonmagnetic impurities in high-Tc materials. Using a position-space renormalization-group approach, we calculate the evolution of the finite-temperature phase diagram with impurity concentration p, and find several features with close experimental parallels: away from half-filling we see the rapid destruction of a spin-singlet phase (analogous to the superconducting phase in cuprates) which is eliminated for p > 0.05; in the same region for these dilute impurity concentrations we observe an enhancement of antiferromagnetism. The antiferromagnetic phase near half-filling is robust against impurity addition, and disappears only for p > 0.40.
