Carrier-dependentT c -suppression in Cu-site substituted high-T c cuprates

subject

description

We studied theTc-suppression by Cu-site substitution in Bi2Sr2Ca1−xYx(Cu1−zMz)2O8+δ (Bi-2212) with M=Fe, Co, Ni, Zn and in Bi2Sr1.6La0.4Cu1−zMzO6+δ (Bi-2201) with M=Co, Zn under variation of the hole concentrationp. We found a distinct behaviour between the underdoped and overdoped side of theTc-p phase diagram. Only in the overdoped regime,Tc is scaling asTc(p,z)=Tc(p,0)g(z) with ap-independent scaling functiong(z). We demonstrate the universality of this distinction in p-type high-Tc cuprates by comparison with publications on the La-214 and Y-123 systems and apply the scaling law to compare Bi2Sr2Ca(Cu1−zCoz)2O8+δ with the intercalation compound IBi2Sr2Ca(Cu1−zCoz)2O8+δ. The results are discussed from the viewpoint of Abrikosov pair breaking, localization and phase fluctuations.
