Dramatic evolution of properties with minute change in the doping level is a hallmark of the complex chemistry which governs cuprate superconductivity as manifested in the celebrated superconducting domes as well as quantum criticality taking place at precise compositions. The strange metal state, where the resistivity varies linearly with temperature, has emerged as a central feature in the normal state of cuprate superconductors. The ubiquity of this behavior signals an intimate link between the scattering mechanism and superconductivity. However, a clear quantitative picture of the correlation has been lacking. Here, we report observation of quantitative scaling laws between the superconducting transition temperature $T_{rm c}$ and the scattering rate associated with the strange metal state in electron-doped cuprate $rm La_{2-x}Ce_xCuO_4$ (LCCO) as a precise function of the doping level. High-resolution characterization of epitaxial composition-spread films, which encompass the entire overdoped range of LCCO has allowed us to systematically map its structural and transport properties with unprecedented accuracy and increment of $Delta x = 0.0015$. We have uncovered the relations $T_{rm c}sim(x_{rm c}-x)^{0.5}sim(A_1^square)^{0.5}$, where $x_c$ is the critical doping where superconductivity disappears on the overdoped side and $A_1^square$ is the scattering rate of perfect $T$-linear resistivity per CuO$_2$ plane. We argue that the striking similarity of the $T_{rm c}$ vs $A_1^square$ relation among cuprates, iron-based and organic superconductors is an indication of a common mechanism of the strange metal behavior and unconventional superconductivity in these systems.
Scaling laws express a systematic and universal simplicity among complex systems in nature. For example, such laws are of enormous significance in biology. Scaling relations are also important in the physical sciences. The seminal 1986 discovery of h
We propose and show that the c-axis transport in high-temperature superconductors is controlled by the pseudogap energy and the c-axis resistivity satisfies a universal scaling law in the pseudogap phase. We derived approximately a scaling function f
Universal scaling behaviour in superconductors has significantly elucidated fluctuation and phase transition phenomena in these materials. However, universal behaviour for the most practical property, the critical current, was not contemplated becaus
Thin superconducting films form a unique platform for geometrically-confined, strongly-interacting electrons. They allow an inherent competition between disorder and superconductivity, which in turn enables the intriguing superconducting-to-insulator
Investigating the anisotropy of superconductors permits an access to fundamental properties. Having succeeded in the fabrication of epitaxial superconducting LaFeAs(O,F) thin films we performed an extensive study of electrical transport properties. I
