Low Temperature AC Conductivity in BSCCO (2212)

Abstract

We report measurements of anamolously large dissipative conductivities in BiSrCaCuO(2212) at low temperatures. We have measured the complex conductivity of BSCCO thin films at 100-600 GHz as a function of doping from the underdoped to the overdoped state. At low temperatures there exists a residual dissipative conductivity which scales with the T=0 superfluid density as the doping is varied. This residual dissipative conductivity is larger than the possible contribution from a thermal population of quasiparticles at the d-wave gap nodes.
