In this paper we report the comparative study of superconductivity by 3d (Co), 4d (Rh), 5d (Ir) element doping in SmFeAsO. X-ray diffraction patterns indicate that the material has formed the ZrCuSiAs-type structure with a space group P4/nmm. It is found that the antiferromagnetic spin-density-wave (SDW) order in the parent compounds is rapidly suppressed by Co, Rh, and Ir doping, and superconductivity emerges. Both electrical resistance and magnetization measurements show superconductivity up to around 10 K in SmFe1-xMxAsO (M = Co, Rh, Ir). Co, Rh and Ir locate in the same column in the periodic table of elements but have different electronic band structure, so comparative study would add more ingredients to the underlying physics of the iron-based superconductors.
Nodal Superconductivity with Multiple Gaps in SmFeAsO$_{0.9}$F$_{0.1}$
本文报道了用点接触光谱法测量SmFeAsO $_{0.9}$ F $_{0.1}$(F-SmFeAsO)与$T_c=51.5K$超导体的两个能隙。这两个间隙随着温度的降低和消失在$T_c$和间隙的温度依赖性描述的Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer(BCS)理论的理论预测。观察到零偏压电导峰(ZBCP),表明F-SmFeAsO表面存在Andreev束缚态。我们的研究结果强烈表明,非常规的节超导多个间隙的F-SmFeAsO。
Coexistence of magnetic fluctuations and superconductivity in the pnictide high temperature superconductor SmFeAsO$_{1-x}$F$_{x}$ measured by muon spin rotation
对磷属元素高温超导体SmFeAsO $_{1-x}$ F $_{x}$(x=0.18和0.3)进行了μ子自旋转动实验。我们观察到在超导附近的慢自旋涨落的异常增强,这表明自旋涨落有助于非常规超导态的形成。获得了面内穿透深度$λ_{ab}(0)=190(5)$ \thinspace nm的估计,这证实了磷属元素化物超导体在$T_{\mathrm{c}}$和$λ_{ab}(0)^{-2}$之间服从Uemura式关系。
Doping-Driven Collapse of the SDW Correlation Gap in SmFeAsO$_{1-x}$F$_{x}$
我们报告的霍尔电阻率,$ρ_{xy}$的多晶SmFeAsO $_{1-x}$ F $_{x}$为四个不同的氟浓度从超导性的开始,通过崩溃的结构相变。对于两个更高掺杂的样品,$ρ_{xy}$在高达50 T的磁场中是线性的,仅具有弱的温度依赖性,使人联想到简单的费米液体。对于轻掺杂的$x<0.15$样品,我们发现了一个低温区,其特征在于$ρ_{xy}(H)$在磁场中是非线性的,并且即使霍尔角很小也具有很强的温度依赖性。这种非线性制度的起始温度在结构相(SPT)/自旋密度波(SDW)转变附近。的霍尔电阻率的温度依赖性是一致的热激活的载流子跨越能隙。报道了能隙随掺杂的演化。
The intrinsic electronic phase diagram of iron-oxypnictide superconductors
我们提出了第一个全面的推导的铁氧铌酸盐超导体在正常状态下的电阻率$ρ$的LaFeAsO $_{1-x}$ F $_x$和SmFeAsO $_{1-x}$ F $_x$的掺杂范围宽的基础上的分析。我们的数据为这些新材料中不寻常的正常状态属性提供了明确的证据。特别地,在低掺杂水平下超导性的出现伴随着正常状态的$ρ$中的明显异常输运行为,这让人想起母体材料中的自旋密度波(SDW)特征。在较高的掺杂水平下,LaFeAsO $_{1-x}$ F $_x$的$ρ$显示出从这种赝隙状行为到费米液体状行为的明显转变,模仿了铜酸盐的相图。此外,我们的数据揭示了异常特征的强度和超导相的稳定性之间的相关性。在SmFeAsO $_{1-x}$ F $_x$中,超导电性增强,类赝隙特征增强,而在具有类费米液体行为的掺杂区,超导电性降低,类赝隙特征消失.
