Abstract

We show that the temperature-dependent superconducting order parameter and related superconducting properties (in particular, the temperature dependences of specific heat, superfluid density and related London penetration depth) of high-[Formula: see text] cuprates are fundamentally different from those of conventional superconductors and cannot be understood within the existing theories based on the Bardeen–Cooper–Schrieffer (BCS)-type condensation of weakly bound Cooper pairs into a superfluid Fermi-liquid and on the usual Bose–Einstein condensation (BEC) of bosonic Cooper pairs. We examine the validity of an alternative approach to the unconventional superconductivity in high-[Formula: see text] cuprates and establish that these materials exhibiting a [Formula: see text]-like superconducting transition at the critical temperature [Formula: see text] are similar to the superfluid 4He and are also superfluid Bose systems. We argue that the doped high-[Formula: see text] cuprates, from underdoped to overdoped regime, are unconventional (bosonic) superconductors and the tightly bound (polaronic) Cooper pairs in these polar materials behave like composite bosons just like 4He atoms and condense into a Bose superfluid at [Formula: see text]. We identify the superconducting order parameter [Formula: see text] in underdoped and optimally doped cuprates as the coherence parameter [Formula: see text] of bosonic Cooper pairs, which appears just below [Formula: see text] and has a kink-like temperature dependence near the characteristic temperature [Formula: see text]. We find that the [Formula: see text]-like specific heat anomaly in high-[Formula: see text] cuprates near [Formula: see text] predicted by the theory of Bose-liquid superconductivity is similar to that observed both in superfluid 4He near [Formula: see text] and in Hg-based cuprate superconductor HgBa2Ca2Cu3O8 near [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]K. We demonstrate that in high-[Formula: see text] superconductor YBa2Cu3[Formula: see text] the superfluid density [Formula: see text] exhibits distinctly different temperature dependences in the temperature ranges [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. In this superconductor, a pronounced anomaly in [Formula: see text] exists near [Formula: see text] and the temperature dependence of [Formula: see text] below [Formula: see text] deviates downwards from the high-temperature behavior. Our results for the normalized superfluid density [Formula: see text] are in good agreement with the experimental data on the temperature dependence of [Formula: see text] in YBa2Cu3[Formula: see text]. The anomalous temperature dependences of specific heat and superfluid density observed in Hg- and Y-based high-[Formula: see text] superconductors are clear signatures of Bose-liquid superconductivity.
