Abstract

The study of the electromagnetic response in cuprate superconductors plays a crucial role in the understanding of the essential physics of these materials. Here the doping dependence of the electromagnetic response in cuprate superconductors is studied within the kinetic energy–driven superconducting mechanism. The kernel of the response function is evaluated based on the linear response approximation for a purely transverse vector potential and can be broken up into its diamagnetic and paramagnetic parts. In particular, this paramagnetic part exactly cancels the corresponding diamagnetic part in the normal-state, and then the Meissner effect is obtained within the entire superconducting phase. Following this kernel of the response function, the electromagnetic response calculation in terms of the specular reflection model qualitatively reproduces many of the striking features observed in the experiments. In particular, the local magnetic field profile follows an exponential law, while the superfluid density exhibits the nonlinear temperature behavior at the lowest temperatures, followed by the linear temperature dependence extending over the most of the superconducting temperature range. Moreover, the maximal value of the superfluid density occurs at around the critical doping δcritical ∼ 0.16 and then decreases in both lower doped and higher doped regimes. The theory also shows that the nonlinear temperature dependence of the superfluid density at the lowest temperatures can be attributed to the nonlocal effects induced by the d-wave gap nodes on the electron Fermi surface.
