Abstract

We report a quantum oscillation study of Tl2Ba2CuO6+δ for two different doping levels (Tc=10 and 26 K) and determine the Fermi-surface size and topology in considerable detail. Our results show that Fermi-liquid behavior is not confined to the edge of the superconducting dome and is robust up to at least 0.3Tcmax. Superconductivity is found to survive up to a larger doping pc=0.31 than in La2−xSrxCuO4. Our data imply that electronic inhomogeneity does not play a significant role in the loss of superconductivity and superfluid density in overdoped cuprates, and point toward a purely magnetic or electronic pairing mechanism.
