在铁基磷属元素化物超导体中,KFe $_2$ As $_2$的特殊之处在于它的费米面不是由准嵌套的电子和空穴口袋组成。在这里,我们报告测量的温度依赖的伦敦渗透深度非常干净的晶体,这种化合物与剩余电阻率比$>1200$。我们发现,在低温下的超流密度表现出很强的线性温度依赖性,这意味着有线节点的能隙的大区域中心的孔片。结果表明,KFe $_2$ As $_2$是一种非常规的强电子关联超导体.
英文摘要:
Among the iron-based pnictide superconductors the material KFe$_2$As$_2$ is unusual in that its Fermi surface does not consist of quasi-nested electron and hole pockets. Here we report measurements of the temperature dependent London penetration depth of very clean crystals of this compound with residual resistivity ratio $>1200$. We show that the superfluid density at low temperatures exhibits a strong linear-in-temperature dependence which implies that there are line nodes in the energy gap on the large zone-centered hole sheets. The results indicate that KFe$_2$As$_2$ is an unconventional superconductor with strong electron correlations.
Observation of an isotropic superconducting gap at the Brillouin zone center of Tl$_{0.63}$K$_{0.37}$Fe$_{1.78}$Se$_2$
利用高分辨角分辨光电子能谱研究了超导体(SC)Tl $_{0.63}$ K $_{0.37}$ Fe $_{1.78}$ Se $_2$($T_c=29$ K)在整个布里渊区(BZ)的结构.除了位于M $(π,0,0)$ -A $(π,0,π)$周围的准2D电子费米表面(FS)上的近各向同性$\sim$ 8.2 meV二维(2D)SC带隙($2Δ/k_BT_c\sim7$)之外,我们还观察到Z中心电子FS上的$\sim 6.2$ meV各向同性SC带隙($2Δ/k_BT_c\sim5$),该带隙排除了任何d波配对对称性,而是有利于s波对称性。所有各向同性SC间隙振幅可以通过来自局部强耦合方法的单个间隙函数拟合,这表明铁硫族化物超导体中的下一个相邻交换相互作用的增强。
