摘要:

CeTIn 5超导体(T=Co、Rh或Ir)由于其相对Tc、NFL行为以及它们接近AF序和量子临界点而引起了极大的兴趣。与T-物种的小变化相反,在CeT(In{1-x}Mx)5(M=Sn)中的电子掺杂和用Cd或Hg的空穴掺杂在非常低的浓度下对电子性质具有显著影响。目前的工作报告EXAFS测量,解决取代基原子分布作为T,M和x的函数,附近的超导相。与先前对M=Sn的测量一起,驻留在In(1)位点上的M原子的比例f{In(1)}以M=Cd、Sn和Hg的顺序增加,范围从约40%至70%,显示出这些取代基强烈偏好占据In(1)位点(随机=20%)。此外,f{In(1)}的范围从70%到100%的M=Hg的顺序T=Co,Rh,和Ir。这些分数跟踪的各种物质的原子半径的变化,并帮助解释的急剧依赖于Tc取代到In网站。然而,仅用杂质散射模型很难将空穴掺杂材料中的小浓度M与基态的剧烈变化相协调。因此,这些结果表明,虽然这样的替代有重要的电子和磁性的后果,有趣的本地原子结构,其他本地的电子和磁性结构的变化是同样重要的,在确定这些材料的体特性。

英文摘要:

The CeTIn5 superconductors (T=Co, Rh, or Ir) have generated great interest due to their relatively Tc's, NFL behavior, and their proximity to AF order and quantum critical points. In contrast to small changes with the T-species, electron doping in CeT(In{1-x}Mx)5 with M=Sn and hole doping with Cd or Hg have a dramatic effect on the electronic properties at very low concentrations. The present work reports EXAFS measurements that address the substituent atom distribution as a function of T, M, and x, near the superconducting phase. Together with previous measurements for M=Sn, the proportion of the M atom residing on the In(1) site, f{In(1)}, increases in the order M=Cd, Sn, and Hg, ranging from about 40% to 70%, showing a strong preference for these substituents to occupy the In(1) site (random=20%). In addition, f{In(1)} ranges from 70% to 100% for M=Hg in the order T=Co, Rh, and Ir. These fractions track the changes in the atomic radii of the various species, and help explain the sharp dependence of Tc on substituting into the In site. However, it is difficult to reconcile the small concentrations of M with the dramatic changes in the ground state in the hole-doped materials with only an impurity scattering model. These results therefore indicate that while such substitutions have interesting local atomic structures with important electronic and magnetic consequences, other local changes in the electronic and magnetic structure are equally important in determining the bulk properties of these materials.
