Implications of the universal scaling relation in high-temperature superconductors

TL;DR

This paper discusses a universal scaling relation in high-temperature superconductors, suggesting that normal state carriers near the transition temperature exhibit critical dissipation and behave as preformed pairs.

Contribution

It proposes that the universal scaling relation reflects the behavior of normal carriers as preformed pairs undergoing critical dissipation.

Findings

Universal scaling relation links superconducting density and transition temperature.

Normal carriers near Tc show signs of critical dissipation.

Carriers act as preformed pairs at the transition point.

Abstract

The recently discovered universal scaling relation between the superconducting density and the transition temperature in high-temperature superconductors appears to indicate that those normal state carriers that are undergoing a superconducting transition at T = Tc, are experiencing critical dissipation and acting as preformed pairs.
