We present a combined analysis of neutron scattering and photoemission measurements on superconducting FeSe(0.5)Te(0.5). The low-energy magnetic excitations disperse only in the direction transverse to the characteristic wave vector (1/2,0,0), whereas the electronic Fermi surface near (1/2,0,0) appears to consist of four incommensurate pockets. While the spin resonance occurs at an incommensurate wave vector compatible with nesting, neither spin-wave nor Fermi-surface-nesting models can describe the magnetic dispersion. We propose that a coupling of spin and orbital correlations is key to explaining this behavior. If correct, it follows that these nematic fluctuations are involved in the resonance and could be relevant to the pairing mechanism.
Here we establish a combined electronic phase diagram of isoelectronic FeSe1-xSx (0.19 > x > 0.0) and FeSe1-yTey (0.04 < y < 1.0) single crystals. The FeSe1-yTey crystals with y = 0.04 - 0.30 are grown by a hydrothermal ion-deintercalation (HID) method. Based on combined experiments of the specific heat, electrical transport, and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, no signature of the tetragonal-symmetry-broken transition to orthorhombic (nematic) phase is observed in the HID FeSe1-yTey samples, as compared with the FeSe1-xSx samples showing this transition at Ts. A ubiquitous dip-like …
Orbital superconductivity, defects and pinned nematic fluctuations in the doped iron chalcogenide FeSe$_{0.45}$Te$_{0.55}$
我们表明,差分电导,$dI/dV$,通过光谱成像扫描隧道显微镜测量的掺杂铁硫属化物FeSe $_{0.45}$ Te $_{0.55}$,具有一系列的特征,允许一个提取的超导间隙的轨道结构。这在两个类空穴费米面上产生了近各向同性的超导带隙,而在类电子费米面上产生了强各向异性的带隙。此外,我们表明,钉扎由缺陷的涨落可以引起一个哑铃状的空间结构的诱导杂质束缚态,并解释了相关的$C_2$ -对称性的傅立叶变换微分电导。
Thickness dependence of superconductivity and superconductor-insulator transition in ultrathin FeSe films on SrTiO3(001) substrate
SrTiO 3(001)(STO)衬底上单胞FeSe薄膜的界面增强高温超导性是近年来凝聚态物理和材料科学研究的热点。本文利用非原位输运测量方法研究了STO衬底上不同厚度的FeSe超薄膜的超导电性。我们发现,开始超导转变温度(Tc)随FeSe薄膜厚度的增加而降低,这是在传统的超导薄膜中通常观察到的行为相反。通过对5 μ C FeSe薄膜的系统后退火,我们观察到了绝缘体到超导体的转变,根据相应的霍尔测量,在低温下伴随着占主导地位的载流子从空穴到电子的符号变化。
Our study of FeSe$ _ {1-x}$Te$ _ {x}$ crystals with x $<$ 0.15 shows that the phase separation in these compositions occurs into phases with a different stoichiometry of iron. This phase separation may indicate structural instability of the iron plane in the studied range of compositions. To explain it, we discuss the bond polarity and the peculiarity of the direct $d$ exchange in the iron plane in the framework of the basic phenomenological description such as the Bethe-Slater curve. With this approach, when the distance between iron atoms is close to the value at which the sign of the magnet…
Monolayer FeSe grown on SrTiO$_3$ provides a new playground for high-Tc superconductivity. A recent study shows the importance of stripy instability for superconductivity enhancement in FeSe/SrTiO3. However, it is still under debate whether such a stripe phase is ubiquitously bound to the interfacial superconductivity. Here, we report on molecular beam epitaxy growth and low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy study of FeSe films on BaTiO$_3$(001). We find that the stripe phase is more prominent in FeSe/BaTiO$_3$. Long-range stripes exist in bilayer and triple-layer FeSe films at 4 K and…
Importance of structural distortions in enhancement of transition temperature in FeSe$_{1-x}$Te$_{x}$ superconductors
利用扩展X射线吸收精细结构(EXAFS)研究了FeSe $_{1-x}$ Te $_x$(x = 0,0.5和1.0)化合物中Fe K边的温度(12 K $\le$ T $\le$ 300 K)依赖的扩展X射线吸收精细结构,以了解Te掺杂FeSe时T $_C$增加的原因.虽然FeSe和FeSe $_{0.5}$ Te $_{0.5}$在超导起始附近存在局部畸变,但它们在非超导FeTe中似乎不存在。至关重要的是阴离子高度的变化。在FeSe $_{0.5}$ Te $_{0.5}$中,在超导起始附近,两个高度,$h_{Fe-Se}$和$h_{Fe-Te}$表现出几乎相反的行为。这些变化表明铁硫族化合物的铁硫族杂化和超导转变温度之间可能存在相关性。
The angular-dependent magnetoresistance (AMR) of the ab plane is measured on the single crystals of FeSe1-xSx (x = 0, 0.07, 0.13 and 1) and FeSe1-yTey (y = 0.06, 0.61 and 1) at various temperatures under fields up to 9 T. A pronounced twofold-anisotropic carrier-scattering effect is identified by AMR, and attributed to a magnetic-field-induced spin nematicity that emerges from the tetragonal normal-state regime below a characteristic temperature Tsn. This magnetically polarized spin nematicity is found to be ubiquitous in the isoelectronic FeSe1-xSx and FeSe1-yTey systems, no matter whether th…
Highly mobile carriers in orthorhombic phases of iron-based superconductors FeSe${}_{1-x}$S${}_{x}$
测量了FeSe ${}_{1-x}$ S ${}_{x}$(x= 0.04,0.09和0.19)单晶的纵向电阻率和霍尔电阻率随磁场和温度的变化关系。样品FeSe ${}_{0.81}$ S ${}_{0.19}$没有表现出向正交相的转变,并且在低温下表现出与正交样品完全不同的输运性质。FeSe ${}_{0.81}$ S ${}_{0.19}$的行为可以用简单的两带模型很好地描述,空穴和电子迁移率的值相当。特别是在低温下,横向电阻表现出线性场依赖性,磁阻遵循二次场依赖性,并遵守科勒规则。相反,科勒规则强烈违反样品具有正交低温结构。而正交样品的输运性质可以用三带模型来描述,该模型中的空穴带和电子带几乎与四元样品的空穴带和电子带等价,并辅以载流子数小两个数量级的高迁移率电子带。因此,正交Fe(SeS)样品的低温输运性质的特殊性,可能与许多其他正交铁超导体一样,是由于存在少量的高流动性载流子,这些载流子来自费米表面的局部区域,大概是在范霍夫奇点附近。
Iron selenide (FeSe) is an iron-based superconductor which shows unique properties, including strongly anisotropic superconducting gap, paramagnetism in undoped compound and extremely small Fermi pocket size. In this work, we demonstrate that the sizes of electron and hole pockets in FeSe monolayer become much smaller than those in bulk. The Fermi energy is in the order of a few meV and can be fine-tuned by the thickness of graphene layers underneath. Despite the low carrier density, the FeSe monolayers grown on trilayer or multi-layer graphene are superconducting. The superconducting gap size…
We have carried out a detailed study to investigate the existence of an insulating parent phase for FeSe superconductor. The insulating Fe4Se5 with specific Fe-vacancy order shows a 3D-Mott variable range hopping behavior with a Verwey-like electronic correlation at around 45 K. The application of the RTA process at 450 celcius degree results in the destruction of Fe-vacancy order and induces more electron carriers by increasing the Fe3+ valence state. Superconductivity emerges with Tc ~ 8K without changing the chemical stoichiometry of the sample after the RTA process by resulting in the addi…
Interface control by homoepitaxial growth in pulsed laser deposited iron chalcogenide thin ilms
利用脉冲激光沉积(PLD)技术生长铁硫族化合物薄膜在化学计量比、织构、衬底/薄膜界面性质和超导性质的同时控制方面仍然是一个微妙的问题。组分的高挥发性将最佳沉积温度急剧限制在狭窄的窗口内,并且主要挑战基于真空的方法的再现性。在这项工作中,我们证明了有益的半导体FeSe $_{1\text{--}x}$ Te $_x$种子层的后续同质外延生长超导FeSe $_{1\text{--}x}$ Te $_x$薄膜在MgO衬底上。MgO是用于超导薄膜应用的最有利的衬底之一,但是在MgO上的铁硫属化物薄膜的受控生长尚未被优化并且是最少被理解的。MgO和FeSe $_{1\text{--}x}$ Te $_x$的晶格常数之间约11%的大失配导致具有混合织构的薄膜,这阻止了对FeSe $_{1\text{--}x}$ Te $_x$的结构和电性能之间的相关性的进一步精确调查。在这里,我们提出了一种有效的方法来显着提高超导FeSe $_{1\text{--}x}$ Te $_x$薄膜的外延生长具有可重复的高临界温度($\geq$ 17 K)在降低的沉积温度(200 °C - 320 °C)在MgO上使用PLD。这提供了各种应用的广泛范围。
Single nonmagnetic impurity resonance in FeSe-based 122-type superconductors as a probe for pairing symmetry
我们研究了一个单一的非磁性杂质在A $_{y}$ Fe $_{2-x}$ Se $_{2}$(A=K,Rb,或Cs)超导体中的影响,通过考虑各种配对状态的基础上的三轨道模型与光电子能谱实验一致。通过自洽求解Bogoliubov-de Gennes方程,计算了杂质位上及其附近的局域态密度。在无节点的$d_{x^2-y^2}$波配对态中,杂质诱导的带隙束缚态仅在吸引杂质散射势下存在,如掺杂Co或Ni的情况,其特征在于强的粒子-空穴不对称性.这一性质可用于探测FeSe基122型超导体的配对对称性。
