英文摘要:
Polarized Raman spectra of non-superconducting SrFe$_2$As$_2$ and superconducting K$_{0.4}$Sr$_{0.6}$Fe$_2$As$_2$ ($T_c = 37$ K) are reported. All four phonon modes (A$_{1g}$ + B$_{1g}$ + 2E$_g$) allowed by symmetry, are found and identified. Shell model gives reasonable description of the spectra. No detectable anomalies are observed near the tetragonal-to-orthorhombic transition in SrFe$_2$As$_2$ or the superconducting transition in K$_{0.4}$Sr$_{0.6}$Fe$_2$As$_2$.
Phonon spectra of detwinned {SrFe$_2$As$_2$} crystals, as measured by inelastic x-ray scattering, show clear anisotropy accompanying the magneto-structural transition at 200 K. We model the mode splitting using magnetic DFT calculations, including a phenomenological reduction in force-constant anisotropy that can be attributed to magnetic fluctuations. This serves as a starting point for a general model of phonons in this material applicable to both magnetic and non-magnetic phase. Using this model, the measured splitting in the magnetic phase below $\it T_{N}$, and the measured phonon linewid…
Comparative study of the effects of electron irradiation and natural disorder in single crystals of SrFe$_{2}$(As$_{1-x}$P$_x$)$_2$ ($x=$0.35) superconductor
测量了SrFe $_2$(As $_{1-x}$ P $_x$)$_2$($x=$ 0.35)铁基超导体单晶的伦敦穿透深度$λ(T)$.研究了无序对转变温度、$T_c$和对$λ(T)$的影响。比较了退火控制的散射效应和2.5MeV电子辐照引入的人工无序效应。$λ(T)$的低温行为可以用幂律函数$Δλ(T)=AT^n$来描述,其中在原始退火样品中指数$n$接近于1,正如对于具有线节点的超导带隙所预期的那样。在$1.2 \times 10^{19}$ \ecm辐照后,指数$n$迅速增加,超过$n=$ 2的脏极限值,这意味着超导带隙中的节点是偶然的,可以通过无序提升。与$T_c$的指数$n$的变化是更强的照射晶体相比,在其中的无序生长缺陷的退火控制的晶体。我们讨论了不同类型的无序对带内和带间散射的不同影响。
Understanding the nature of the electronic nematic phase in iron pnictide superconductors is important for elucidating its impact on high-temperature superconductivity. Here we use transport and inelastic neutron scattering to study spin excitations and in-plane resistivity anisotropy in uniaxial pressure detwinned BaFe$_2$As$_2$ and SrFe$_2$As$_2$, the parent compounds of iron pnictide superconductors. While BaFe$_2$As$_2$ exhibits weakly first order tetragonal-to-orthorhombic structural and antiferromagnetic (AF) phase transitions below $T_s > T_N\approx 138$ K, SrFe$_2$As$_2$ has strongly c…
We discuss the mechanism of coherent phonon generation by Stimulated Ionic Raman Scattering, a process different from conventional excitation with near visible optical pulses. Ionic Raman scattering is driven by anharmonic coupling between a directly excited infrared-active phonon mode and other Raman modes. We experimentally study the response of YBa2Cu3O6+x to the resonant excitation of apical oxygen motions at 20 THz by mid-infrared pulses, which has been shown in the past to enhance the interlayer superconducting coupling. We find coherent oscillations of four totally symmetric (Ag) Raman …
We use inelastic neutron scattering to study energy and wave vector dependence of spin fluctuations in SrCo$_2$As$_2$, derived from SrFe$_{2-x}$Co$_x$As$_2$ iron pnictide superconductors. Our data reveals the coexistence of antiferromagnetic (AF) and ferromagnetic (FM) spin fluctuations at wave vectors $\textbf{Q}_{\rm AF}$=(1,0) and $\textbf{Q}_{\rm FM}$=(0,0)/(2,0), respectively. By comparing neutron scattering results with those of dynamic mean field theory calculation and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy experiments, we conclude that both AF and FM spin fluctuations in SrCo$_2$As$…
Inelastic low-energy Raman and high-energy X-ray scatterings have made great progress in instrumentation to investigate the strong electronic correlations in matter. However, theoretical study of the relevant scattering spectrum is still a challenge. In this article, we present a Schwinger-Keldysh canonical perturbation formalism for the electronic Raman scattering, where all the resonant, non-resonant and mixed responses are considered uniformly. We show how to use this formalism to evaluate the cross section of the electronic Raman scattering off an one-band superconductor. All the two-photo…
Raman scattering near a d-wave Pomeranchuk instability
最近的运输和中子散射实验表明,在欠掺杂的铜氧化物的取向对称性破缺的动机,我们提出了一个理论研究的拉曼散射附近的d波波Pomeranchuk不稳定性(PI)。拉曼散射的d-波分量的电子和声子允许直接研究与PI相关的序参量波动。接近PI从正常状态,通过降低温度的中心峰出现在电子和,作为一个额外的低频功能,在声子散射。在低温超导态下,通过降低掺杂浓度来接近PI,中心峰被一个宽度和能量都大大减小、谱权增大的软模所取代。这些预测的低能量特征在拉曼散射可以确认在一个相当直接的方式存在的PI在高温铜酸盐超导体和Sr 3Ru 2 O 7。
