摘要:

我们测量了LaSb $_2$的电阻率、电导率和磁化率,以寻找超大线性磁阻的原因和探索超导态的性质。我们没有发现任何证据的光学电导率的电荷密度波状态的形成高于20 K,尽管高度分层的晶体结构。此外,只有很小的变化,光学反射率与磁场观察表明,MR是由于散射率,而不是电荷密度,随场的变化。虽然超导基态以前被报道低于临界温度的0.4 K,我们观察到,在环境压力下,一个脆弱的超导转变,在2.5 K开始。在结晶样品中,我们发现高度的变异性,少数样品在0.2 K以下显示完整的迈斯纳分数,并且在2.5 K以下波动明显。压力的应用稳定了超导转变,并降低了超导相的各向异性。

英文摘要:

We have measured the resistivity, optical conductivity, and magnetic susceptibility of LaSb$_2$ to search for clues as to the cause of the extraordinarily large linear magnetoresistance and to explore the properties of the superconducting state. We find no evidence in the optical conductivity for the formation of a charge density wave state above 20 K despite the highly layered crystal structure. In addition, only small changes to the optical reflectivity with magnetic field are observed indicating that the MR is due to scattering rate, not charge density, variations with field. Although a superconducting ground state was previously reported below a critical temperature of 0.4 K, we observe, at ambient pressure, a fragile superconducting transition with an onset at 2.5 K. In crystalline samples, we find a high degree of variability with a minority of samples displaying a full Meissner fraction below 0.2 K and fluctuations apparent up to 2.5 K. The application of pressure stabilizes the superconducting transition and reduces the anisotropy of the superconducting phase.
