Wiedemann-Franz law in the underdoped cuprate superconductorYBa2Cu3Oy

Abstract: The electrical and thermal Hall conductivities of the cuprate superconductor YBa2Cu3Oy, σxy and κxy, were measured in a magnetic field up to 35 T, at a hole concentration (doping) p = 0.11. In the T = 0 limit, we find that the Wiedemann-Franz law, κxy/T = (π 2 /3)(kB/e) 2 σxy, is satisfied for fields immediately above the vortex-melting field Hvs. This rules out the existence of a vortex liquid at T = 0 and it puts a clear constraint on the nature of the normal state in underdoped cuprates, in a region of the … Show more

“…The picture we have of FS reconstruction in YBCO should also be tested against the field dependence of the Hall effect [3,63]. It has been pointed out [64] that the positive and negative curvatures of the reconstructed pockets give rise to a field dependence of the Hall effect, with a large value and electronlike sign at high fields.…”

“…However, we observe bound states up to at least 45 T (Fig. 2), far above the upper critical field H c2 24± 2 T in YBa 2 Cu 3 O 6.56 [76][77][78]. In order to explain our results, Andreev bound states would then have to be pinned by disorder and to survive in the metallic but non-superconducting state above H c2 .…”

“…While ARPES relies on an excellent surface quality, QOs need to be performed at high magnetic fields of the order of 10 T in metals but are typically interpreted using band structure calculations at zero field. The ability of QOs to interpret zero-field properties is therefore under intense discussion, e.g., in high-temperature superconductors [1][2][3][4][5] and low-carrier-density topological materials with surface states [6].…”
