本文系统地测量了电子掺杂超导体Ba（Fe $_{1-x}$ Co $_x$）$_2$ As $_2$的电阻率、热容、磁化率和霍尔系数。这些数据描绘了一个$x-T$相图中的单一的磁性/结构相变，观察到未掺杂的BaFe $_2$作为$_2$在134 K显然分裂成两个不同的相变，这两个都迅速抑制与增加Co浓度。超导性出现Co浓度高于$x \sim 0.025$，并出现共存的可观的范围内的掺杂，高达$x \sim 0.06$的对称性破缺状态。最佳超导转变温度似乎与Co浓度一致，在该浓度下，磁性/结构相变被完全抑制，至少在由用不同掺杂水平制备的晶体之间的有限步长提供的分辨率内。在$x \sim 0.018$和更高浓度下完全抑制之前，在更大范围的Co浓度下观察到超导性。该$x-T$相图的形式暗示了超导性与由磁和/或结构相变的抑制引起的量子临界点之间的关联。
英文摘要：
Systematic measurements of the resistivity, heat capacity, susceptibility and Hall coefficient are presented for single crystal samples of the electron-doped superconductor Ba(Fe$_{1-x}$Co$_x$)$_2$As$_2$. These data delineate an $x-T$ phase diagram in which the single magnetic/structural phase transition that is observed for undoped BaFe$_2$As$_2$ at 134 K apparently splits into two distinct phase transitions, both of which are rapidly suppressed with increasing Co concentration. Superconductivity emerges for Co concentrations above $x \sim 0.025$, and appears to coexist with the broken symmetry state for an appreciable range of doping, up to $x \sim 0.06$. The optimal superconducting transition temperature appears to coincide with the Co concentration at which the magnetic/structural phase transitions are totally suppressed, at least within the resolution provided by the finite step size between crystals prepared with different doping levels. Superconductivity is observed for a further range of Co concentrations, before being completely suppressed for $x \sim 0.018$ and above. The form of this $x-T$ phase diagram is suggestive of an association between superconductivity and a quantum critical point arising from suppression of the magnetic and/or structural phase transitions.

Identification of Nodal Kink in Electron-Doped (Nd$_{1.85}$Ce$_{0.15}$)CuO$_4$ Superconductor from Laser-Based Angle-Resolved Photoemission Spectroscopy
对电子掺杂的（Nd $_{1.85}$ Ce $_{0.15}$）CuO $_4$高温超导体进行了高分辨激光角分辨光电子能谱测量。我们揭示了一个明确的扭结在$\sim$ 60毫电子伏的色散沿（0，0）-（$π$，$π$）节方向，伴随着峰-谷-驼峰功能的光电子能谱。这表明，在电子掺杂的超导体中，节点电子与集体激发（玻色子）耦合，声子是最有可能的玻色子候选者。这一发现建立了一个普遍性的节点电子耦合在空穴和电子掺杂的高温铜氧化物超导体。
High Tc superconductors show a rich variety of phases associated with their charge degrees of freedom. Valence charges can give rise to charge ordering or acoustic plasmons in these layered cuprate superconductors. While charge ordering has been observed for both hole- and electron-doped cuprates, acoustic plasmons have only been found in electron-doped materials. Here, we use resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) to observe the presence of acoustic plasmons in two families of hole-doped cuprate superconductors [La2-xSrxCuO4 (LSCO) and Bi2Sr1.6La0.4CuO6+d (Bi2201)], crucially completing t…
Absence of nodes in the energy gap of the high-temperature electron-doped Pr1.85Ce0.15CuO4-y superconductor using thermal conductivity and specific heat measurements
Electronic nematicity is often found in unconventional superconductors, suggesting its relevance for electronic pairing. In the strongly hole-doped iron-based superconductors, the symmetry channel and strength of the nematic fluctuations, as well as the possible presence of long-range nematic order, remain controversial. Here, we address these questions using transport measurements under elastic strain. By decomposing the strain response into the appropriate symmetry channels, we demonstrate the emergence of a giant in-plane symmetric contribution, associated with the growth of both strong ele…
Hydrogen (H)-doped LaFeAsO is a prototypical iron-based superconductor. However, its phase diagram extends beyond the standard framework, where a superconducting (SC) phase follows an antiferromagnetic (AF) phase upon carrier doping; instead, the SC phase is sandwiched between two AF phases appearing in lightly and heavily H-doped regimes. We performed nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements under pressure, focusing on the second AF phase in the heavily H-doped regime. The second AF phase is strongly suppressed when a pressure of 3.0 GPa is applied, and apparently shifts to a highly H-do…
Magnetic Breakdown in the electron-doped cuprate superconductor Nd$_{2-x}$Ce$_x$CuO$_4$: the reconstructed Fermi surface survives in the strongly overdoped regime
本文报道了电子过掺杂铜氧化物超导体Nd $_{2-x}$ Ce $_x$ CuO $_4$中的半经典角度相关磁电阻振荡（AMRO）和Shubnikov-de Haas效应。我们的数据提供了令人信服的证据磁击穿系统。这表明，一个重建的多连接费米表面持续存在，至少在强磁场，直到超导制度的最高掺杂水平。结果表明，在电子掺杂铜氧化物超导体中，平移对称破缺与超导配对之间存在着密切的联系。
For electron-doped cuprates, the strong suppression of antiferromagnetic spin correlation by efficient reduction annealing by the "protect-annealing" method leads to superconductivity not only with lower Ce concentrations but also with higher transition temperatures. To reveal the nature of this superconducting state, we have performed angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy measurements of protect-annealed electron-doped superconductors Pr$_{1.3-x}$La$_{0.7}$Ce$_{x}$CuO$_{4}$ and directly investigated the superconducting gap. The gap was found to be consistent with $d$-wave symmetry, sugges…
We study how manifestations of strong electron-phonon interaction (EPI) depend on the carrier concentration by solving the two-dimensional Holstein model for the spin-polarized fermions using an approximation free bold-line diagrammatic Monte Carlo (BDMC) method. We show that the strong EPI, obviously present at very small Fermion concentration, is masked by the Fermi blockade effects and Migdal's theorem to the extent that it manifests itself as moderate one at large carriers densities. Suppression of strong EPI fingerprints is in agreement with experimental observations in doped high tempera…
The pseudogap state is one of the most enigmatic characteristics in the anomalous normal state properties of the high temperature cuprate superconductors. A central issue is to reveal whether there is a symmetry breaking and which symmetries are broken across the pseudogap transition. By performing high resolution laser-based angle-resolved photoemission measurements on the optimally-doped Bi2Sr1.6La0.4CuO6+δ superconductor, we report the observations of the particle-hole symmetry conservation in both the superconducting state and the pseudogap state along the entire Fermi surface. These resul…
Hole superconductivity in the electron-doped superconductor PCCO
我们测量了电子掺杂超导体Pr_{2-x} Ce_xCuO_4的电阻率和霍尔角随掺杂和温度的变化。温度为100 K < T <300 K时的电阻率Rho_xx对电子最为敏感。它的温度行为在很宽的掺杂范围内与掺杂无关，甚至对非超导样品也是如此。另一方面，横向电阻率rho_xy或霍尔角θ_H（其中cot（θ_H）= rho_xx/rho_xy）对空穴和电子都敏感。它的温度依赖性受到掺杂的强烈影响，并且cot（theta_H）可以用于识别最佳掺杂（最大Tc），甚至远高于临界温度。这些结果表明，在电子掺杂的铜氧化物中，空穴是超导电性的主要来源。
Observation of unconventional band topology in a superconducting doped topological insulator, Cux-Bi2Se3: Topological Superconductor or non-Abelian superconductor?
最近发现掺铜的拓扑绝缘体Bi $_2$ Se $_3$在冷却时经历超导转变，这提高了它是第一个已知的“拓扑超导体”或实现新的非阿贝尔超导状态的可能性。它的真正性质取决于关键的体和表面状态带拓扑结构。我们提出了第一个光电子能谱的结果，通过检查在许多不同的铜掺杂值的能带拓扑，我们发现，拓扑保护的自旋螺旋表面状态保持良好的保护和分离的费米能级，其中铜配对发生在最佳掺杂的拓扑绝缘体的体狄拉克带。铜的加入导致非线性电子掺杂和强重整化的拓扑表面态。这些极不寻常的观测结果强烈地表明，在Cu $_x$ Bi $_2$ Se $_3$的拓扑表面上的超导性不能是任何常规类型的一般拓扑理论。首次报道了三维体狄拉克能带结构的超导掺杂态和拓扑不变性质，这将有助于为这种新型超导体制定一个具体的理论。
An exact particle-hole transformation is discovered in a local-moment model for a single layer of heavily electron-doped FeSe. The model harbors hidden magnetic order between the iron d_xz and d_yz orbitals at the wavenumber (pi,pi). It potentially is tied to the magnetic resonances about the very same Neel ordering vector that have been recently discovered in intercalated FeSe. Upon electron doping, the local-moment model successfully accounts for the electron-pocket Fermi surfaces observed experimentally at the corner of the two-iron Brillouin zone in electron-doped FeSe, as well as for isot…
We comment on a simple way to accommodate translational symmetry breaking into the recently proposed holographic model which features a superconducting dome-shaped region on the temperature-doping phase diagram.
Nematicity in the heavily hole-doped iron pnictide superconductors remains controversial. Sizeable nematic fluctuations and even nematic orders far from a magnetic instability were declared in RbFe$_2$As$_2$ and its sister compounds. Here we report a systematic elastoresistance study of series of isovalent- and electron-doped KFe$_2$As$_2$ crystals. We found divergent elastoresistance upon cooling for all the crystals along their [110] direction. The amplitude of elastoresistivity diverges if K is substituted with larger ions or if the system is driven towards a Lifshitz transition. However, w…
Superconductivity research is like running a marathon. Three decades after the discovery of high-Tc cuprates, there have been mass data generated from transport measurements, which bring fruitful information. In this review, we give a brief summary of the intriguing phenomena reported in electron-doped cuprates from the aspect of electrical transport as well as the complementary thermal transport. We attempt to sort out common features of the electron-doped family, e.g. the strange metal, negative magnetoresistance, multiple sign reversals of Hall in mixed state, abnormal Nernst signal, comple…

Majorana modes at the ends of superconductor vortices in doped topological insulators
最近的实验已经在掺杂的拓扑绝缘体中观察到了体超导性。在这里，我们问是否涡马约拉纳零模式，以前预测发生时，超导性诱导的表面上的拓扑绝缘体，生存，即使在这些掺杂系统与金属正常状态。假设反转对称，我们发现，马约拉纳零模式确实出现，但只有低于临界掺杂。临界掺杂与涡线的拓扑相变相关，在那里它支持沿其长度的无间隙激发。临界点仅取决于涡旋线的取向和Berry相的性质，即金属正常态费米面的SU（2）Berry相。通过计算可用能带结构的该相位，我们确定了诸如$p$掺杂的Bi $_{2}$ Te $_{3}$的材料候选物在压力下支持涡旋端Majorana模式。令人惊讶的是，即使是从拓扑上平凡的能带结构衍生的超导体也可以支持马约拉纳模式，这为实现它们提供了一条有前途的途径。
