Field-induced electronic phase separation in the high-temperature superconductor La_1.94Sr_0.06CuO_4+y
arxiv(2021)
摘要
We present a combined neutron diffraction and high field muon spin rotation
(μSR) study of the magnetically ordered and superconducting phases of the
high-temperature superconductor La_1.94Sr_0.06CuO_4+y (T_ c =
37.5(2) K) in a magnetic field applied perpendicular to the CuO_2 planes. We
observe a linear field-dependence of the intensity of the neutron diffraction
peak that reflects the modulated antiferromagnetic stripe order. The magnetic
volume fraction extracted from μSR data likewise increases linearly with
applied magnetic field. The combination of these two observations allows us to
unambiguously conclude that stripe-ordered regions grow in an applied field,
whereas the stripe-ordered magnetic moment itself is field-independent. This
contrasts with earlier suggestions that the field-induced neutron diffraction
intensity in La-based cuprates is due to an increase in the ordered moment. We
discuss a microscopic picture that is capable of reconciling these conflicting
viewpoints.
