Superconducting Fluctuations in Overdoped Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8 + δ
Abstract (englisch):
Fluctuating superconductivity—vestigial Cooper pairing in the resistive state of a material—is usually
associated with low dimensionality, strong disorder, or low carrier density. Here, we report single-particle
spectroscopic, thermodynamic and magnetic evidence for persistent superconducting fluctuations in the
heavily hole-doped cuprate superconductor Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8þδ(Tc¼66 K) despite the high carrier
density. With a sign-problem-free quantum Monte Carlo calculation, we show how a partially flat band
at ðπ;0Þcan help enhance superconducting phase fluctuations. Finally, we discuss the implications of an
anisotropic band structure on the phase-coherence-limited superconductivity in overdoped cuprates and
other superconductors.
