摘要
By applying ultrafast optical spectroscopy to electron-doped La1.9Ce0.1CuO4 +/-delta, we discern a bosonic mode of electronic origin and provide the evolution of its coupling with the charge carriers as a function of temperature. Our results show that it has the strongest coupling strength near T-c and can fully account for the superconducting pairing. This mode can be associated with the two-dimensional antiferromagnetic spin correlations emerging below a critical temperature T-dagger larger than T-c. Our work may help to establish a quantitative relation between bosonic excitations and superconducting pairing in electron-doped cuprates.
