Abstract

Intimate relation between local lattice and high-temperature superconductivity is one of undeniable evidences for the lattice-driven mechanism of superconductivity that has been totally omitted in the previous discussions of possible pairing mechanism because researchers anticipated novel mechanism that does not seamlessly connected to conventional phonon-driven mechanism. We have found that local lattice shows unusual temperature-dependent deviation from equilibrium lattice that always maximizes at the onset superconducting critical temperature and quickly disappears right below. Taking an example of most popular doped cuprate La1.85Sr0.15Cu1−xO4 having a layered CuO2 plane, in-plane local distortion is shows a signature of polaron (bipolaron). The nature of dynamic lattice response in relation to the onset of superconductivity was probed by polarized x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS). Starting from La1.85Sr0.150.15Cu1−xO4, we studied pure and magnetic impurity-doped MxLa1.85Sr0.15Cu1−xO4 (M = Mn, Ni, Co, x < 0.05) single crystals and more recently Fe pnictides. The results confirmed that the distorted domains maximize at Td max ~ Tc onset, which is described by the disappearance of the in-plane Cu-O bond alternation upon the completion of phase coherence (onset of superconductivity). Together with the less significant anomalies in Fe pnictides reflecting superfluid density, the results suggest that the in-plane distortion with either Q2 or pseudo JT symmetry is a prerequisite for high temperature superconductivity in cuprates. This strongly suggests the electronic pairing mechanisms ignore the contribution of lattice and a proper treatment of lattice is a missing element that is actually deeply involved in the pairing mechanism. Here we describe our perspective view on the intimacy between local lattice and high-temperature superconductivity.

Acknowledgments

Without the encouragement and inspiration to the author by K. Alex Müller, it would have been totally impossible to keep focusing on this work for over two decades. During this period, the author has engaged in experimental instrumentation including the development of a synchrotron beamline with an insertion device and a highly efficient x-ray detector. He expresses his greatest thanks to Changjing Zhang who contributed to the later collaborative studies, especially crystal growth and synchrotron experiments. The authors also would like to thank Annette Bussmann-Holder and Hugo Keller for encouragements and fruitful discussions which played as an engine of our work. In early days, the international collaboration between Italy and Japan has played an important role in kicking off the local lattice studies. The author expresses thanks to Antonio Bianconi who proposed a timely topic for a joint research based on the bilateral program. The author would like to express a special thanks to the Italian Embassy in Japan for the financial support. Finally the author expresses his thanks to a long term collaborator Naurang Saini.
