Disorder-Induced Static Antiferromagnetism in Cuprate Superconductors

Abstract

Using model calculations of a disordered d-wave superconductor with on-site Hubbard repulsion, we show how dopant disorder can stabilize novel states with antiferromagnetic order. We find that the critical strength of correlations or impurity potential necessary to create an ordered magnetic state in the presence of finite disorder is reduced compared to that required to create a single isolated magnetic droplet. This may explain why in cuprates like LSCO low-energy probes have identified a static magnetic component which persists well into the superconducting state, whereas in cleaner systems like YBCO it is absent or minimal. Finally we address the case of nominally clean LSCO samples at optimal doping, where such ordered magnetic moments are absent, but where they can be induced by small concentrations of strong scatterers.
