The transport and magnetic studies are performed on high quality FeTe0.60Se0.40 single crystals to determine the upper critical fields (Hc2), lower critical field (Hc1) and the Critical current density (Jc). The value of upper critical field Hc2 are very large, whereas the activation energy as determined from the slope of the Arrhenius plots are was found to be lower than that in the FeAs122 superconductor. The lower critical field was determined in ab direction and c direction of the crystal, and was found to have a anisotropy of 'gamma'{=(Hc1//c) / (Hc1//b)} ~ 4. The magnetic isotherms measured up to 12 Tesla shows the presence of fishtail behavior. The critical current densities at 1.8K of the single crystal was found to almost same in both ab and c direction as 1X105 Amp/cm2 in low field regime.
Effect of pressure on the structural phase transition and superconductivity in (Ba$_{1-x}$K$_x$)Fe$_2$As$_2$ ($x = 0$ and 0.45) single crystals
本文研究了压力对轻掺Sn的BaFe $\sim 20$ As $_2$的结构相变以及(Ba $_{0.55}$ K $_{0.45}$)Fe $_2$ As $_2$单晶的超导转变温度和上临界场的影响。这两种转变都以几乎线性的方式随压力而减小。在压力下,上临界场曲线$H_{c2}(T)$在温度下向下移动,以跟随零场$T_c$,斜率变化很小。

测量了Ba $_{1-x}$ K $_x$ Fe $_2$ As $_2$(x = 0.23,0.25,0.28和0.4)单晶的温度电阻率和超导Ba $_{0.6}$ K $_{0.4}$ Fe $_2$ As $_2$单晶的角度电阻率。对不同掺杂水平样品的温度依赖性电阻率的测量表明,具有非常高的上临界场,其随转变温度单调增加,和非常低的超导各向异性比$Γ=H_{c2}^{ab}/H_{c2}^c \approx$ 2。通过在各向异性Ginzburg-Landau理论框架下对电阻率进行标度,在一定温度下用不同磁场测量的Ba $_{0.6}$ K $_{0.4}$ Fe $_2$ As $_2$单晶的角度相关电阻率坍缩到一条曲线上。作为唯一的标度参数,各向异性$Γ$确定交替为每个温度,并被发现是在2和3之间。

用倒置温度梯度法在宽的组分范围$0.22 \leq x \leq 1$内生长了大尺寸高质量的空穴掺杂铁基超导体(Ba $_{1-x}$ K $_x$)Fe $_2$ As $_2$单晶。我们发现,高的均热温度,快速冷却速率,并调整温度窗口的生长是必要的,以获得单晶的重K掺杂晶体(0.65 $\leq x \leq$ 0.92)与窄的组成分布所揭示的尖锐的超导转变的磁化测量和接近100%的超导体积分数。通过X射线和成分分析对晶体进行了广泛的表征,揭示了$c$轴晶格参数随K取代的单调演化。定量测量的温度依赖性的面内电阻率,$ρ(T)$发现掺杂无关的,恒定的误差条内,在室温下的电阻率,$ρ(300K)$,在电子和等价取代的BaFe $_2$作为$_2$的组合物中的显着的掺杂依赖性形成鲜明对比。温度依赖性电阻率$ρ(T)$的形状示出了系统的掺杂演变,在过掺杂中接近$T^2$,并且在最佳掺杂下揭示了$T$线性分量的显著贡献。对于$H\parallel c$、$ H_{c2,c}$和$H \parallel ab$、$H_{c2,ab}$,上临界场$d H_{c2}/dT$的斜率与$T_c$成线性比例。上临界场的各向异性,$γ\equiv H_{c2,ab} / H_{c2,c}$确定近零场$T_c$增加从$\sim$ 2到4-5随着增加K掺杂水平从最佳$x \sim$ 0.4到强过掺杂$x$…
Weak superconducting fluctuations and small anisotropy of the upper critical fields in an Fe1.05Te0.85Se0.15 single crystal
研究了Fe $_{1.05}$ Te $_{0.85}$ Se $_{0.15}$单晶的电阻上临界场($μ_{0}H_{\rm c2}(T)$)的温度依赖性,该单晶在$T_{\rm c} \sim 14 K, in magnetic fields of up to 55 T. Two-dimensional feature and superconducting fluctuations of the samples are found to be weak, because the resistive broadening effect on applied magnetic fields of up to 14 T is small. The Pauli paramagnetic effect is obviously evidenced by the strong suppression of the $ μ_{0} H_{\rm c2} ^{ab}(T)$ ($ H \parallel ab $) curve and nearly isotropic $ μ_{0} H_{\rm c2}(0)\approx 47 T对$H \parallel ab$和$H \parallel c$都有超导性.这一事实与以前报道的Fe $_{1+y}$ Te $_{0.6}$ Se $_{0…
Identification of nematic superconductivity from the upper critical field
最近的核磁共振和比热测量同时提供了掺杂拓扑绝缘体Cu $_x$ Bi $_2$ Se $_3$超导态旋转对称性自发破缺的证据。这表明配对对称性对应于$D_{3d}$晶体点群的二维表示,并且Cu $_x$ Bi $_2$ Se $_3$是超导体。本文在Ginzburg-Landau(GL)理论框架下对超导体的上临界场$H_{c2}$进行了全面的研究。与典型的GL理论相反,GL理论具有涌现的U(1)旋转对称性,掩盖了晶体的离散对称性,三角晶体中的双组分超导体理论反映了真正的$D_{3d}$晶体对称性。这对上临界场有直接的影响。首先,三角超导体的$H_{c2}$在基面上表现出六重各向异性。第二,当两个分量的简并度被提升时,例如,在单轴应变下,$H_{c2}$表现出具有特征角度和温度依赖性的双重各向异性。我们的深入研究表明,上临界场的测量是一种直接检测超导性的方法,它直接适用于最近发现的三角超导体Cu $_x$ Bi $_2$ Se $_3$,Sr $_x$ Bi $_2$ Se $_3$,Nb $_x$ Bi $_2$ Se $_3$,和Tl $_x$ Bi $_2$ Se $_3$。
Anisotropic superconductivity and unusually robust electronic critical field in single crystal La$_{7}$Ir$_{3}$
报道了多晶La $_{7}$ Ir $_{3}$显示超导性破坏时间反演对称性,同时也具有各向同性的$s$ -波隙。这种非中心对称超导体的单晶对于理解该系统中电子配对机制的性质是非常必要的。本文报道了用提拉法生长La $_{7}$ Ir $_{3}$高质量单晶。利用X射线、磁化强度、电阻率和热容测量研究了这些大晶体的结构和超导性质。我们观察到一个明确的各向异性,在较低和较高的临界磁场施加平行和垂直于六角$c$轴的磁场。我们还报告了一个强大的电子临界场的存在下,偏离从热容量,这是表面超导性的标志来自上临界场。
Transport properties, upper critical field and anisotropy of Ba(Fe$_{0.75}$Ru$_{0.25}$)$_2$As$_2$ single crystals
测量了Ba(Fe $_{0.75}$ Ru $_{0.25}$)$_2$ As $_2$单晶在14 T磁场下的温度和角度电阻率。与温度相关的电阻率与磁场平行的c轴和ab平面,使我们能够推导出的斜率d $H_{c2}^{ab}/dT$和d $H_{c2}^c/dT$附近的$T_c$产生的各向异性比$Γ=dH_{c2}^{ab}/dT/dH_{c2}^c/dT \approx$ 2。在各向异性Ginzburg-Landau理论的框架内,通过标度在固定温度和不同磁场下测得的电阻率-角度曲线,我们以另一种方式获得了各向异性。我们再次发现,各向异性$(m_c/m_{ab})^{1/2}$接近2。该值与Ba $_{0.6}$ K $_{0.4}$ Fe $_2$ As $_2$(K掺杂的Ba 122)和Ba(Fe $_{0.92}$ Co $_{0.08}$)$_2$ As $_2$(Co掺杂的Ba 122)中的值非常相似。这表明,Ru掺杂样品中费米面的3D翘曲效应可能并不比K掺杂或Co掺杂的Ba 122样品中的3D翘曲效应强,因此,Ru掺杂样品中可能出现的节点不能归因于费米面的3D翘曲效应。
