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.
Cu substitution effects on the local magnetic properties of Ba(Fe_[1-x]Cu_[x])2As2: a site-selective 75-As and 63-Cu NMR study
我们利用$^{75}$ As和$^{63}$ Cu NMR技术的位置选择性来探测Cu取代对Ba(Fe $_{1-x}$ Cu $_x$)$_2$ As $_2$中FeAs平面的局部磁性的影响。我们发现,抑制反铁磁Fe自旋的Cu取代引起的波动是弱于一个简单的刚性带图片的基础上,其中每个Cu原子将捐赠3个电子的FeAs平面的天真的期望。$^{63}$ Cu和$^{75}$ As NMR数据之间的比较表明,自旋波动被抑制在Cu和它们邻近的Fe位在tetraquinone相,这表明强烈的本地性质的Cu替代效果。在Ba(Fe $_{1-x}$ Cu $_x$)$_2$ As $_2$的相图中,我们认为没有大的超导圆顶是由于在正交畸变的存在下出现了一个接近磁有序的FeAs面。

Comment on "Isoelectronic Ru substitution at Fe-site in Sm(Fe$_{1-x}$Ru$_x$)AsO$_{0.85}$F$_{0.15}$ compound and its effects on structural, superconducting and normal state properties" (arXiv:1004.1978)
基于五轨道模型,由剩余电阻率导出Sm(Fe $_{1-x}$ Ru $_{x}$)AsO $_{0.85}$ F $_{0.15}$中约化杂质散射率$g=zγ/2πT_{c0}$.在$x=0$下,转变温度为$T_{c0}=50$ K。对于$0.05<x<0.36$($0.84>T_{c}/T_{c0}>0.3$),得到的$g$值在1.5到2.9之间,这表明$s_\pm$波态不能存在.我们指出,在关联电子系统中,磁电阻经常给出一个低估的$g$值。
$A$-site substitution effect on physical properties of Sr$_3$Fe$_{2-x}$Co$_x$O$_{7-δ}$
本文研究了准二维铁磁体Sr $_3$ Fe $_{2-x}$ Co $_x$ O $_{7-δ}$($x$ $ = $ 0.5)的$Ln^{3+}$取代($Ln$ =镧系元素)效应. % $Ln^{3+}$ -取代在$Ln^{3+}$周围产生反铁磁绝缘簇。随着$Ln^{3+}$ -浓度的增加,铁磁性逐渐被抑制,电阻率增加,这归因于由$Ln^{3+}$ -取代产生的反铁磁(AFM)团簇的增加。在Sr $_{2.7}$ Gd $_{0.3}$ Fe $_{1.5}$ Co $_{0.5}$ O $_{7-δ}$中,与Sr $_3$ Fe $_{1.5}$ Co $_{0.5}$ O $_{7-δ}$相比,磁电阻(MR)增强了约20%。铁磁(FM)相和AFM相的共存对磁电阻的增强是必不可少的。施加的磁场使FM簇在相同方向上对齐,从而导致电阻率降低。在$Ln^{3+}$掺杂样品中观察到的变磁转变也有助于MR的增强。

通过固相反应合成了一系列面内取代化合物,包括Cu位(SrZn $_x$ Cu $_{2-x}$(BO $_3$)$_2$)和B位(SrCu $_2$(Si $_x$ B $_{1-x}$ O $_3$)$_2$)取代. X射线衍射结果表明,这些化合物均为单相材料,其面内晶格常数与取代基$x$的含量有关。分别测量了不同磁场下的磁化率、不同温度下的磁化强度和室温下的电阻率。结果表明,由磁化率测量得到的自旋能隙随$x$的增加而减小,Cu位和B位的自旋能隙均随$x$的增加而减小.在这些取代化合物中没有发现超导性。

测量并分析了Na $_{1+x}$ Co $_2$ O $_4$和Na $_{1.1-x}$ Ca $_x$ Co $_2$ O $_4$的电阻率和热电势。在Na $_{1+x}$ Co $_2$ O $_4$中,电阻率随$x$增加,而热电势几乎与$x$无关。这表明过量的Na不太可能提供载流子,并且减少了样品中的有效导电路径。在Na $_{1.1-x}$ Ca $_x$ Co $_2$ O $_4$中,电阻率和热电势随着$x$而增加,并且Ca $^{2+}$取代Na $^+$减少了NaCo $_2$ O $_4$中的多数载流子。这意味着它们是孔,这与热电势的正号一致。该化合物的电阻率随温度变化的特性证明了该化合物具有很强的相关性。
