We report on Raman scattering experiments of the undoped SrFe2As2 and superconducting Sr0.85K0.15Fe2As2 (Tc=28K) and Ba0.72K0.28Fe2As2 (Tc=32K) single crystals. The frequency and linewidth of the B1g mode at 210 cm-1 exhibits an appreciable temperature dependence induced by the superconducting and spin density wave transitions. We give estimates of the electron-phonon coupling related to this renormalization. In addition, we observe a pronounced quasi-elastic Raman response for the undoped compound, suggesting persisting magnetic fluctuations to low temperatures. In the superconducting state the renormalization of an electronic continuum is observed with a threshold energy of 61cm-1.
Resistivity saturation in PrFeAsO$_{1-x}$F$_y$ superconductor: An evidence of strong electron-phonon coupling
我们测量了PrFeAsO $_{1-x}$ F $_y$样品在很宽的温度范围内的电阻率，以阐明电子-声子相互作用对正常和超导态性质的作用。$ρ$在170 K以上的线性T依赖性，随后在更高温度下的饱和行为是强电子-声子耦合的明显特征。通过对$ρ$的T依赖性的分析，我们估计了几个正常态参数，这些参数对理解该系统的超导电性起源是有用的。我们的研究结果表明，铁基氧磷属化合物是声子介导的BCS超导体，像Chevrel相和A15化合物。
Electron-phonon interaction is of central importance for the electrical and heat transport properties of metals, and is directly responsible for charge-density-waves or (conventional) superconducting instabilities. The direct observation of phonon dispersion anomalies across electronic phase transitions can provide insightful information regarding the mechanisms underlying their formation. Here, we review the current status of phonon dispersion studies in superconductors under hydrostatic and uniaxial pressure. Advances in the instrumentation of high resolution inelastic X-ray scattering beaml…
Electron and phonon band-structure calculations for the antipolar SrPt$_{3}$P antiperovskite superconductor: Evidence of low-energy two-dimensional phonons
We study how manifestations of strong electron-phonon interaction (EPI) depend on the carrier concentration by solving the two-dimensional Holstein model for the spin-polarized fermions using an approximation free bold-line diagrammatic Monte Carlo (BDMC) method. We show that the strong EPI, obviously present at very small Fermion concentration, is masked by the Fermi blockade effects and Migdal's theorem to the extent that it manifests itself as moderate one at large carriers densities. Suppression of strong EPI fingerprints is in agreement with experimental observations in doped high tempera…
Vacancy ordering and phonon spectrum in the Fe superconductor K$_{0.8}$Fe$_{1.6}$Se$_2$
我们对最近发现的铁基超导体K $_{0.8}$ Fe $_{1.6}$ Se $_2$（$T_c$ = 32 K）的高质量单晶进行了拉曼散射测量。在10 $-$ 300 cm $^{-1}$的波数范围内观察到至少13个声子模。该光谱具有四重对称性，表明在铁缺乏平面的散装空位顺序。我们进行振动分析的基础上的第一性原理计算，这既确认了有序的结构，并允许一个完整的模式分配。我们在180 cm $^{-1}$ $A_g$模式中观察到$T_c$处的异常，这表明了一种相当特殊类型的电子-声子耦合。
In this paper we calculate ab initially the phonon dispersion relationship of the superconductor LaFeAsO and investigate a main property in the superconductor, the oxygen isotope effect. Based on this phonon dispersion relationship, we find the fact that an important reason of the oxygen isotope effect is connected with the phonon. This result agrees well with the experimental data where the power index of the oxygen isotope effect in the superconductor LaFeAsO is small.

When quasiparticles in a BCS superconductor recombine into Cooper pairs, phonons are emitted within a narrow band of energies above the pairing energy at 2$Δ$. We show that a phonon bandgap restricting the escape of recombination phonons from a superconductor can increase the quasiparticle recombination lifetime by more than an order of magnitude. A phonon bandgap can be realized and matched to the recombination energy with a phononic crystal, a periodically-patterned dielectric membrane. We discuss in detail the non-equilibrium quasiparticle and phonon distributions that arise in a supercondu…
Josephson plasma resonance and phonon anomalies in trilayer Bi_2Sr_2Ca_2Cu_3O_10 superconductor
用椭圆偏振法测量了Bi_（2223）晶体的远红外（FIR）c轴电导率。低于T $_c$，在500 cm $^{-1}$附近产生强吸收带，对应于横向约瑟夫森等离子体。FIR频谱权重的相关增加导致了对Ferrell-Glover-Tinkham求和规则的巨大违反。c轴动能的增加占凝结能的相当大的一部分。我们还观察到声子异常，这表明约瑟夫森电流导致了激烈的变化的局部电场内块的紧密间隔的CuO $_2$平面。
I solved the Eliashberg equations for multiband non-phononic $s\pm$ wave spin glass superconductor and I calculated the temperature dependence of the gaps and superfluid density that reveals unusual behavior as non monotonic temperature dependence and reentrant superconductivity. For particular values of input parameters the phase diagram is still more complex with two different ranges of temperature where the superconductivity appears.
Doping dependence of the electron-phonon and electron-spin fluctuation interactions in the high-$T_{c}$ superconductor Bi$_{2}$Sr$_{2}$CaCu$_{2}$O$_{8+δ}$
利用超快光学技术，我们检测到两种类型的玻色子强烈耦合到电子的家庭中的Bi $_{2}$ Sr $_{2}$ CaCu $_{2}$ O $_{8+δ}$从欠掺杂到过掺杂制度。电子-玻色子耦合强度的不同掺杂依赖性使我们能够将它们识别为声子和自旋波动：电子-声子耦合（$λ_{e-ph}$）在最佳掺杂时达到峰值，电子-自旋波动耦合（$λ_{e-sf}$）随着掺杂单调下降。这一观察结果与两个事实相一致：（1）在低掺杂下，超导性与反铁磁性非常接近;（2）在较大掺杂下，晶格重整化效应显著。
We showed that the all phonons -- not only forward-scattering phonon but also local (all-momentum-scattering) phonon -- contribute to boosting $T_c$ of the $s^{\pm}$-wave pairing state in the incipient band model. In particular, when the incipient band sinks deeper, the phonon boost effect of the local phonon increases and becomes as effective as the one of the forward-scattering phonon. Our finding implies that all interface phonons -- not only the 90 $meV$ Fuchs-Kliewer (F-K) phonon but also the 60 $meV$ F-K phonon -- from the SrTiO$_3$ substrate and all intrinsic phonons of the FeSe monolay…
We show using density functional calculations that quasi-one-dimensional K2Mo3As3, which is closely related to the K2Cr3As3 and has very similar superconducting properties, is not close to magnetism and has conventional s-wave electron-phonon superconductivity. This superconductivity is of multi-gap character due to different coupling on different Fermi surface sheets. This is discussed in relation to the properties of this family of quasi-one-dimensional pnictide superconductors. The results show that this family of superconductors provides a unique opportunity for studying the interplay of s…
We predict a strong enhancement of the critical temperature in a conventional Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) superconductor in the presence of a bosonic condensate of exciton-polaritons. The effect depends strongly on the ratio of the cutoff frequencies for phonon and exciton-polariton mediated BCS superconductivity, respectively. We also discuss a possible design of hybrid semiconductor-superconductor structures suitable for the experimental observation of such an effect.
