摘要:

研究了Li替代Mg和Li-C共替代对MgB_2单晶超导性能和晶体结构的影响。已经发现,与Li的空穴掺杂降低超导转变温度Tc,但在一个较慢的速度比电子掺杂与C或Al. Tc的MgB 2晶体与同时取代的Li为Mg和C为B的降低比在C被单独取代的情况下。这意味着由Li引入的空穴不能抵消由来自C的电子的引入引起的Tc降低的效果。其原因可能是来自Li的空穴占据π带,而来自C的电子填充σ带。对于具有相同Tc的Al和Li替代晶体,上临界场Hc 2的温度依赖性显示出相似的dHc 2/dT斜率和相似的Hc 2(T)行为,尽管替代水平有很大不同。这表明在空穴和电子掺杂晶体中控制Hc 2和Tc的机制是相似的。电输运测量表明,在Li取代晶体和Li和C共取代晶体的电阻率增加。这表明由于包括晶格畸变的取代引入的缺陷而增强的散射。所观察到的行为可以解释为两种效应的结果,影响Tc和Hc 2。第一种是与载流子浓度的变化有关的掺杂,这可能导致Tc的降低或升高。第二个是与引入新的散射中心,导致带间和/或带内散射的修改,因此,超导间隙的变化和降低Tc。

英文摘要:

The effect of Li substitution for Mg and of Li-C co-substitution on the superconducting properties and crystal structure of MgB2 single crystals has been investigated. It has been found that hole doping with Li decreases the superconducting transition temperature Tc, but at a slower rate than electron doping with C or Al. Tc of MgB2 crystals with simultaneously substituted Li for Mg and C for B decreases more than in the case where C is substituted alone. This means that holes introduced by Li cannot counterbalance the effect of decrease of Tc caused by introduction of electrons coming from C. The possible reason of it can be that holes coming from Li occupy the pi band while electrons coming from C fill the sigma band. The temperature dependences of the upper critical field Hc2 for Al and Li substituted crystals with the same Tc show a similar dHc2/dT slope at Tc and a similar Hc2(T) behavior, despite of much different substitution level. This indicates that the mechanism controlling Hc2 and Tc is similar in both hole and electron doped crystals. Electrical transport measurements show an increase of resistivity both in Li substituted crystals and in Li and C co-substituted crystals. This indicates enhanced scattering due to defects introduced by substitutions including distortion of the lattice. The observed behavior can be explained as a result of two effects, influencing both Tc and Hc2. The first one is doping related to the changes in the carrier concentration, which may lead to the decrease or to the increase of Tc. The second one is related to the introduction of new scattering centers leading to the modification of the interband and/or intraband scattering and therefore, to changes in the superconducting gaps and to the reduction of Tc.
