Abstract

We apply a low-field (<100 G) technique to measure the critical pair momentum pc in thin underdoped films of Y0.7Ca0.3Ba2Cu3O7−δ and Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ reflecting a wide range of hole doping. We observe that pc∝ℏ/ξ scales with Tc and therefore superfluid density ns(T→0) in our two-dimensional cuprate films. This relationship was famously predicted by a universal model of the cuprates with a doping-independent superconducting gap, but has not been observed by high field (>104G) measurements of the coherence length ξ because high-field cuprate phenomena obscure the simple scaling we observe at much lower fields.
