The rich phenomenology displayed in the phase diagram of the high-Tc cuprates continues to be an active arena of investigation. Recent experimental and theoretical work appears to be converging on a picture of separate spin and charge order phase transitions – well-below and near optimal doping, respectively – along with associated Fermi surface reconstruction. As sensitive probes of the low-energy electrodynamics, microwave spectroscopy techniques are well-suited for characterizing the effects of such changes in electronic structure deep within the superconducting state.
I will present the results of our survey of the complex microwave conductivity of YBa2Cu3O6+x over a wide range of oxygen contents, from 6.49 to 6.998, and discuss their implications for the evolution of electronic structure with doping. In particular, I will highlight the apparent absence of a peak in penetration depth near the proposed p ≈ 0.18 quantum critical point (QCP), contrasting with its presence near the antiferromagnetic QCP of the pnictide superconductors. I will also discuss the surprising relationship we observed between quasiparticle scattering lifetimes and oxygen ordering, which carries important implications for quantum oscillation measurements.
