DOPING AND TEMPERATURE DEPENDENCE OF SUPERFLUID DENSITY IN KINETIC ENERGY DRIVEN CUPRATE SUPERCONDUCTORS

Abstract

Within the kinetic energy driven superconducting mechanism, the doping and temperature dependence of the superfluid density in cuprate superconductors is studied throughout the superconducting dome. It is shown that the superfluid density shows a crossover from the linear temperature dependence at low temperatures to a nonlinear one in the extremely low temperatures. In analogy to the dome-like shape of the doping dependent superconducting transition temperature, the maximal zero-temperature superfluid density occurs around the critical doping δ ≈ 0.195, and then decreases in both lower doped and higher doped regimes.
