Overview

Ultrafast pump-probe spectroscopy demonstrates power-law divergence in reflectivity relaxation in heavily overdoped cuprates, suggesting quantum critical behavior near the pseudogap endpoint.

Key Points

To investigate photoinduced transient reflectivity dynamics across the endpoints of the pseudogap and superconducting phases in heavily overdoped single-layer cuprates.
Applied optical ultrafast time-resolved pump-probe spectroscopy to single-layer (Bi,Pb)2Sr2CuO6+δ (Pb-Bi-2201) samples across different doping levels and temperatures.
Above the superconducting transition temperature, transient reflectivity dynamics near the pseudogap endpoint doping matched the pseudogap response observed in optimally doped La-Bi-2201.
Relaxation time diverged with decreasing temperature following a power law of τ ~ 10ħ/(k_BT), consistent with quantum critical behavior near the proposed pseudogap endpoint.
A similar, though less pronounced, power-law increase in relaxation time occurred at a slightly more overdoped composition.
