摘要:

首次对烧绿石超导体KOs_2 O_6(Tc = 9.6 K)在零磁场和1.95 K以上温度下的涡旋态进行了扫描隧道谱测量。这种材料呈现原子平坦的表面,产生空间均匀的光谱,揭示了完全带隙的超导性,带隙各向异性为30%。在2 T和6 T的磁场下进行的测量显示六角Abrikosov通量线晶格。从涡核的形状,我们提取出31-40 μ m的相干长度,与从上临界场Hc 2导出的值一致。我们观察到的涡核的大小(因此的相干长度)的减少,增加字段,这是一致的意外高和不饱和的上临界字段报告。

英文摘要:

We performed the first scanning tunneling spectroscopy measurements on the pyrochlore superconductor KOs2O6 (Tc = 9.6 K) in both zero magnetic field and the vortex state at several temperatures above 1.95 K. This material presents atomically flat surfaces, yielding spatially homogeneous spectra which reveal fully-gapped superconductivity with a gap anisotropy of 30%. Measurements performed at fields of 2 and 6 T display a hexagonal Abrikosov flux line lattice. From the shape of the vortex cores, we extract a coherence length of 31-40 Å, in agreement with the value derived from the upper critical field Hc2. We observe a reduction in size of the vortex cores (and hence the coherence length) with increasing field which is consistent with the unexpectedly high and unsaturated upper critical field reported.
