Specific heat of underdoped cuprates: RVB versus Fermi arcs
J. P. F. LeBlanc, E. J. Nicol, J. P. Carbotte
A recent microscopic model of the pseudogap state, based on the resonating valence bond (RVB) spin liquid, has provided a simple ansatz for the electronic self energy in which a ga…
Signatures of superconducting gap inhomogeneities in optical properties
J. P. F. LeBlanc, E. J. Nicol, J. P. Carbotte
Scanning tunneling spectroscopy applied to the high- cuprates has revealed significant spatial inhomogeneity on the nanoscale. Regions on the order of a coherence length in…
The unusual thickness dependence of superconductivity in -MoGe thin films
H. Tashiro, J. M. Graybeal, D. B. Tanner +3
Thin films of -MoGe show progressively reduced 's as the thickness is decreased below 30 nm and the sheet resistance exceeds 100 . We have performed far-infrared…
Optical self-energy of superconducting Pb in the THz region
T. Mori, E. J. Nicol, S. Shiizuka +4
New THz data on the optical conductivity of Pb are presented as well as a detailed Eliashberg analysis with particular emphasis on phonon-assisted processes not included in a BCS a…
High energy scales in electronic self-energy imaged by optics
J. Hwang, E. J. Nicol, T. Timusk +2
We use a new technique to directly extract an estimate of the quasiparticle self-energy from the optical conductivity which can be easily related to both theory and angle-resolved…
