The possibility for an appreciable many-body contribution to the electron-phonon interaction (EPI) in Fe-pnictides is discussed in the model where EPI is due to the electronic polarization of As- ions. The EPI-pol coupling ismuch larger than the one obtained in the LDA band structure calculations. It contributes significantly to the intra-band s-wave pairing and an appreciable positive As-isotope effect in the superconducting critical temperature is expected. In the Fe-breathing mode the linear (in the Fe-displacements) EPI-pol coupling vanishes, while the non-linear (quadratic) one is very strong. The part of the EPI-pol coupling, which is due to the "potential" energy (the Hubbard U) changes, is responsible for the giant magneto-elastic effects in MFe_{2}As_{2}, M=Ca, Sr, Ba since it gives much larger contribution to the magnetic pressure than the band structure effects do. This mechanism is contrary to the LDA prediction where the magneto-elastic effects are due to the "kinetic" energy effects, i.e. the changes in the density of states by the magneto-elastic effects. The proposed $EPI-pol is expected to be operative (and strong) in other Fe-based superconductors with electronically polarizable ions such as Se, Te, S etc., and in high-temperature superconductors due to the polarizability of the O-ions.
Large magnetoresistance in the iron-free pnictide superconductor LaRu$_2$P$_2$
铁磷属元素化物超导体的磁电阻通常由电子-电子关联控制,并偏离H $^2$或不相关金属预期的饱和行为。与类似的铁基磷属元素化物系统相反,超导体LaRu $_2$ P $_2$(T $_c$ = 4 K)没有显示出电子-电子关联的增强。在这里,我们报告的非饱和磁电阻偏离H $^2$或饱和行为的LaRu $_2$ P $_2$。我们已经生长和表征了高质量的LaRu $_2$ P $_2$单晶,并测量了H $^{1.3}$后高达22 T的磁电阻。通过比较LaRu $_2$ P $_2$和Fe基磷属元素化物超导体的能带结构,讨论了我们的结果. Fe和Ru的不同轨道结构导致LaRu $_2$ P $_2$中具有可忽略不计的带宽重整化的3D费米表面,该表面在整个布里渊区上包含一个大的开放片。我们发现,在LaRu $_2$ P $_2$的大磁阻是无关的材料中获得的强电子-电子相关性,它是兼容的,而不是由于开放轨道上的导电相当复杂的费米表面结构的LaRu $_2$ P $_2$。

Frustrated Magnetic Interactions, Giant Magneto-Elastic Coupling, and Magnetic Phonons in Iron-Pnictides
我们提出了一个详细的第一性原理研究的Fe-磷族化合物,特别强调竞争磁相互作用,结构相变,巨磁弹性耦合及其对声子的影响。对于LaOFeAs,交换相互作用$J_{i,j}(R)$的计算结果为$\approx 12 $ = $. We find that $ J_{i,j}(R)$ has an oscillatory character with an envelop decaying as $ 1/R^3 $ along the stripe-direction while it is very short range along the diagonal direction and antiferromagnetic. A brief discussion of the neutron scattering determination of these exchange constants from a single crystal sample with orthorhombic twinning is given. The lattice parameter dependence of the exchange constants, $ dJ_{i,j} /da $ are calculated for a simple spin-Peierls like model to e…

研究无序在超导体中的作用是表征基本超导性质以及评估材料潜在应用的重要组成部分。在大多数情况下,缺陷矩阵上的信息是穷人,使这样的研究困难,但这种情况可以通过引入缺陷,在一个可控的方式,如中子辐照提供改善。在这项工作中,我们分析了中子辐照对Ba(Fe $_{1-x}$ Co $_x$)$_2$ As $_2$单晶的影响。我们主要集中在磁性能,这是由磁强计测定。通过中子辐照引入无序导致对可逆和不可逆磁性的显著影响,例如转变温度、上临界场、各向异性和临界电流密度。通过与未辐照状态下的性质进行比较,对结果进行了详细讨论。
Magneto-elastically coupled structural, magnetic and superconducting order parameters in BaFe$_{2}$(As$_{1-x}$P$_{x}$)$_{2}$
我们测量了机械应变BaFe $_{2}$(As $_{1-x}$ P $_{x}$)$_{2}$单晶在宽的$x$范围内的输运性质。Néel转变对应力极其敏感,并且这种敏感性随着接近最佳掺杂而增加,即使转变本身被强烈抑制。此外,我们观察到显着的变化,超导转变温度与施加的应变,这反映了变化的组合物$x$的函数。这些实验直接说明了铁基超导体中不同自由度之间的紧密耦合,揭示了磁弹性耦合对磁性和超导转变温度的重要性。

讨论了d波配对高温超导体正常态的一些问题,并提出了以下假设:1)在赝能隙温度下,发生了从三维非相干正常态到Cu O 2层准二维系统的维度交叉; 2)对于含有Janh-Teller和混合价Cu离子的体系,“裸空穴”是床准粒子,电子关联和涨落很强,以及铜和氧轨道固有的强p-d杂化; 3)这导致“裸空穴”减少为两种类型的磁弹性极化子。结果表明,其中之一,铁磁束缚极化子,导致条纹的形成,和反铁磁极化子之间的吸引力导致他们的配对和超导涨落在平面内。讨论了铁磁束缚极化子和反铁磁双极化子观测的一些实验证据。
Effects of proton irradiation on flux-pinning properties of underdoped Ba(Fe$_{0.96}$Co$_{0.04}$)$_2$As$_2$ pnictide superconductor
本文用磁化强度和磁电阻率的联合测量方法研究了质子辐照对Ba(Fe $_{0.96}$ Co $_{0.04}$)$_2$ As $_2$超导单晶的影响。该研究允许提取的样品的表观钉扎能$U_0$的值之前和之后的照射,以及比较的值$U_0$从磁通流可逆区域与那些从磁通蠕变不可逆区域。照射适度地减少$T_c$,但在两个制度中显著地减少$U_0$:临界电流密度$J_c$被修改,最引人注目的是照射后第二磁化峰的消失。分析的钉扎力的函数形式和温度依赖性的$J_c$为零场,表明质子照射在这种情况下没有改变钉扎制度,但引入了高密度的浅点状缺陷。通过考虑一个模型,考虑到不可逆线上的障碍的影响,数据表明,照射产生了相当大的减少,在平均有效的障碍整体,与观察到的变化一致,在$U_0$和$J_c$。
Anomalous magneto-elastic coupling in Au-doped BaFe2As2
我们使用偏振分辨拉曼散射研究Ba(Fe $_{1-x}$ Au $_{x}$)$_2$作为轻Au掺杂的函数的$_2$晶体中的磁弹性耦合,材料的结构转变温度($T_S$)和磁有序转变温度($T_N$)分裂。我们研究的外观的$A_g$(As)的声子强度的$XY$散射几何形状是非常弱的$T_S$,但其强度显着增强低于$T_N$。此外,$A_g$(As)声子在$T_N$以下表现出不对称的线型,并且在磁相中Au掺杂时表现出异常的线宽展宽。我们证明了$XY$散射几何中$A_g$(As)声子模的反常行为可以用Fano模型一致地描述,该模型涉及$A_g$(As)声子模与$B_{2g}$类磁连续体相互作用,其中磁弹性耦合常数与磁序参量成正比.
