- Аннотация: In order to unveil the intrinsic electrodynamic response of the CuO2 layers of cuprate superconductors and to differentiate this response from that of the charge reservoir layers, we measured the in-plane (ab) magnetic penetration depth on Yba(2)Cu(4)O(8) (Y124) single crystals by using a high-resolution mutual inductance technique. Among the various high-T-c families of cuprate superconductors, Y124 is a stoichiometric compound characterized by a double CuO chain per unit cell acting as charge reservoir and by the absence of any disorder or structural inhomogeneities arising from chemical substitutions and/or oxygen vacancies. This feature makes Y124 an ideal system for our study. The experimental data show, in the low temperature region down to 4.2 K, a marked linear dependence of the variation lambda(ab) lambda(ab)(T)-lambda(ab) (4.2 K) with a small downturn at 9 K. This behavior confirms the existence of zero-energy thermally activated excitations, that are also observed in the Yba(2)Cu(3)O(7-delta) (Y123) counterpart possessing only one CuO chain per unit cell. Whilst such linear behavior is consistent with the d-wave symmetry picture previously established for cuprates, the measured thermal activation rate, alpha partial derivative lambda(ab)/partial derivative T, is however, more than a factor 4 larger in comparison with Y123. This result is consistent with a proximity model of superconducting planes and metallic chains and suggests that the reservoir layers strongly affect the low temperature behavior of the magnetic penetration depth in cuprates.
