Abstract

Recent measurements on extremely underdoped YBa2Cu3O6+y [Phys. Rev. Lett. 99, 237003 (2007)] have allowed the critical temperature Tc, superfluid density ρs0≡ρs(T⪡Tc), and dc conductivity σdc(T≳Tc) to be determined for a series of electronic dopings for Tc≃3–17 K. The general scaling relation ρs0/8≃4.4σdcTc is observed, extending the validity of both the ab-plane and c-axis scaling an order of magnitude and creating a region of overlap. This suggests that strongly underdoped materials may constitute a Josephson phase; as the electronic doping is increased a more uniform superconducting state emerges.
