英文摘要:
Point-contact (PC) spectroscopy measurements on antiferromagnetic (AF) (T_N=5.2K) HoNi2B2C single crystals in the normal and two different superconducting (SC) states (T_c=8.5K and $T_c^*=5.6K) are reported. The PC study of the electron-boson(phonon) interaction (EB(P)I) spectral function reveals pronounced phonon maxima at 16, 22 and 34meV. For the first time the high energy maxima at about 50meV and 100meV are resolved. Additionally, an admixture of a crystalline-electric-field (CEF) excitations with a maximum near 10meV and a `magnetic` peak near 3meV are observed. The contribution of the 10-meV peak in PC EPI constant λ_PC is evaluated as 20-30%, while contribution of the high energy modes at 50 and 100meV amounts about 10% for each maxima, so the superconductivity might be affected by CEF excitations. The SC gap in HoNi2B2C exhibits a standard single-band BCS-like dependence, but vanishes at $T_c^*=5.6K<T_c, with 2Δ/kT_c^*=3.9. The strong coupling Eliashberg analysis of the low-temperature SC phase with T_c^*=5.6K =T_N, coexisting with the commensurate AF structure, suggests a sizable value of the EPI constant λ_s=0.93. We also provide strong support for the recently proposed by us ''Fermi surface (FS) separation'' scenario for the coexistence of magnetism and superconductivity in magnetic borocarbides, namely, that the superconductivity in the commensurate AF phase survives at a special (nearly isotropic) FS sheet without an admixture of Ho 5d states. Above T_c^* the SC features in the PC characteristics are strongly suppressed pointing to a specific weakened SC state between T_c* and T_c.
We show that magnetic fluctuations can destroy the Hebel-Slichter peak in conventional superconductors. The Hebel-Slichter peak has previously been expected to survive even in the presence of strong electronic interactions. However, we show that antiferromagnetic fluctuations suppress the peak at $\bf{q}=0$ in the imaginary part of the magnetic susceptibility, $χ_{+-}''\left(\bf{q},ω\right)$, which causes the Hebel-Slichter peak. This is of general interest as in many materials superconductivity is found near a magnetically ordered phase, and the absence of a Hebel-Slichter peak is taken as ev…

Two-step flux penetration in classic antiferromagnetic superconductor
反铁磁序对超导体混合态的影响可能导致沿涡旋产生自旋翻转畴。当外部磁场强到足以将涡核中的磁矩从它们的基态配置翻转时,可能会发生这种情况。磁畴结构的形成引起表面能势垒的改变,并产生新的状态,其中磁通量密度与所施加的场无关。本文计算了反铁磁超导体DyMo $_{6}$ S $_{8}$的表面能垒。两步磁通穿透过程的预测已被验证的精确磁化测量在毫开尔文温度下进行的单晶的DyMo $_{6}$ S $_{8}$。在原始曲线$B(H_0)$上发现了一个特征平台,这归因于改性的表面能势垒。平台的末端决定了临界场,我们称之为磁通穿透的第二临界场。
Motivated by recent experimental studies on superconductivity found in nickelate-based materials, we study the temperature dependence of the spin correlation and the superconducting pairing interaction within an effective two-band Hubbard model by the quantum Monte Carlo method. Based on parameters extracted from first-principles calculations, our intensive numerical results reveal that the pairing with a $d_{xy}$-wave symmetry firmly dominates over other pairings at low temperature, which is mainly determined by the Ni 3$d$ orbital. It is also found that the effective pairing interaction is e…
Unusual Behavior of Antiferromagnetic Superconductors in Low Magnetic Fields
在这篇文章中,我们研究了低和高$T_c$磁性超导体在接近第一穿透场的磁场中的超导性质。注意力放在与反铁磁性和超导性之间的相互作用有关的性质。有人建议,几个功能之间的相互作用的特点,在低$T_c$超导体的磁性和超导子系统也可以存在于高$T_c$材料,然而,他们还没有观察到任何非替代的反铁磁超导体的Y 123型。对于Gd $_{1+x}$ Ba $_{2-x}$ Cu $_3$ O $_{7-δ}$化合物,在Gd亚晶格的Néel温度附近发现$x = 0.2$的交流磁化率的温度依赖性的峰值。该峰值归因于超导持续电流的抑制,该抑制归因于由相变温度附近的增强的磁波动引起的对断裂效应。该观察结果表明,对于具有$x = 0.2$的组合物,存在磁性电子和导电电子之间的相互作用,其中磁性增强而超导性减弱。

We report experimental evidence of formation of antiferromagnetic clusters in composites made of a cuprate superconductor La1.85Sr0.15CuO4 (LCu) and a ferromagnet La0.6Sr0.4CoO3 (LCo). From linear and non-linear ac-susceptibility measurement on this composite material it is found that the exchange field of LCo suppress the dynamic antiferromagnetic spin fluctuation of LCu and convert it into the short range ordered superparamagnetic type antiferromagnetic (AFM) clusters at the cost of superconducting volume fraction. These shrank superconducting volume fraction shows quantum size effect (QSE) …
Angle-Resolved Photoemission Spectroscopy of the Antiferromagnetic Superconductor Nd1.87Ce0.13CuO4: Anisotropic Spin-Correlation Gap, Pseudogap, and the Induced Quasiparticle Mass Enhancement
The advances in the field of unconventional superconductivity are largely driven by the discovery of novel superconducting systems. Here we report on the discovery of superconductivity on the border of antiferromagnetic order in a quasi-one-dimensional RbMn6Bi5 via measurements of resistivity and magnetic susceptibility under high pressures. With increasing pressure, its antiferromagnetic transition with TN = 83 K at ambient pressure is first enhanced moderately and then suppressed completely at a critical pressure of Pc = 13 GPa, around which bulk superconductivity emerges and exhibits a dome…
Conductance of non-ballistic point contacts in hybrid systems "normal metal/superconductor" Cu/Mo-C and Cu/LaOFFeAs
我们考虑的非弹道点接触NS异质系统的“Andreev”电导曲线的形状取决于在接触的偏置电压。所获得的这些曲线的形状是由来自杂质的相干散射机制的贡献引起的,该相干散射机制使散射截面加倍。广义和微分电导的行为进行了比较弹道和非弹道输运制度。标准被认为是允许一个区分这些制度与相应的传导曲线相似的外观。分析扩展到NS点接触与外来超导体,碳化钼Mo-C和氧铌酸镧La[O $_{1-x}$ F $_{x}$ ]FeAs从一组铁基超导体的非弹道输运的情况。
The application of inhomogeneous niobium point-contacts in the superconducting stata for reconstructing the electron-phonon interaction function is considered. The method is based on the use of the nonlinearity of current-voltage curve, which is due to the inelastic processes of suppressing excess point contact current when nonequilibrium phonons are scattered from the electrons undergoing Andreev reflection. A new model of background occurrence in point-contact Yanson spectra and some ways to correct this background are proposed.
Two characteristic energies in the low-energy antiferromagnetic response of the electron-doped high-temperature superconductor Nd$_{2-x}$Ce$_x$CuO$_{4+δ}$
We theoretically investigate domain wall motion in an antiferromagnetic insulator layer caused by thermally generated spin currents in an adjacent spin-split superconductor layer. An uncompensated antiferromagnet interface enables the two crucial ingredients underlying the mechanism - spin splitting in the superconductor and absorption of spin currents by the antiferromagnet. Treating the superconductor using the quasiclassical theory and the antiferromagnet via Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert description, we find domain wall propagation along the thermal gradient with relatively large velocities $\si…
High critical temperature superconductivity often occurs in systems where an antiferromagnetic order is brought near $T=0K$ by slightly modifying pressure or doping. CaKFe$_4$As$_4$ is a superconducting, stoichiometric iron pnictide compound showing optimal superconducting critical temperature with $T_c$ as large as $38$ K. Doping with Ni induces a decrease in $T_c$ and the onset of spin-vortex antiferromagnetic order, which consists of spins pointing inwards to or outwards from alternating As sites on the diagonals of the in-plane square Fe lattice. Here we study the band structure of CaK(Fe$…
