Anukool, W., Barakat, S., Panagopoulos, C., & Cooper, J. (2009). Effect of hole doping on the London penetration depth in Bi2.15Sr1.85CaCu2O8+δ and Bi2.1Sr1.9Ca0.85Y0.15Cu2O8+δ. Physical Review B: Condensed Matter and Materials Physics, 80 (2. 024516)https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevB.80.024516
Abstract
We report measurements of ac susceptibility and hence the in-plane London penetration depth on the same samples of Bi2.15Sr1.85CaCu2O8+δ and Bi2.1Sr1.9Ca0.85Y0.15Cu2O8+δ for many values of the hole concentration (p). These support the scenario in which the pseudogap weakens the superconducting response only for p≲0.19.
