摘要:

基于比热和磁电阻测量,我们报告说,“重”电子态存在低于$T \approx$ 20 K的KNi $_2$硒$_2$,具有增加的载流子迁移率和增强的有效电子带质量,$m$ * = 6 $m_b$至18 $m_b$。这种“重”态在$T_c$ = 0.80(1)K时演变成超导性。这些性质类似于一个多体重费米子态,它来自于局域磁态和传导电子之间的杂化。然而,没有证据的局部磁性或磁秩序被发现在KNi $_2$ Se $_2$从磁化测量或中子衍射。相反,中子对分布函数分析揭示了局部电荷密度波扭曲的存在,冷却时消失,与通常观察到的效果相反,这表明KNi $_2$ Se $_2$的低温电子态来自合作库仑相互作用和接近,但避免,电荷秩序。

英文摘要:

Based on specific heat and magnetoresistance measurements, we report that a "heavy" electronic state exists below $T \approx$ 20 K in KNi$_2$Se$_2$, with an increased carrier mobility and enhanced effective electronic band mass, $m$* = 6$m_b$ to 18$m_b$. This "heavy" state evolves into superconductivity at $T_c$ = 0.80(1) K. These properties resemble that of a many-body heavy-fermion state, which derives from the hybridization between localized magnetic states and conduction electrons. Yet, no evidence for localized magnetism or magnetic order is found in KNi$_2$Se$_2$ from magnetization measurements or neutron diffraction. Instead, neutron pair-distribution-function analysis reveals the presence of local charge-density-wave distortions that disappear on cooling, an effect opposite to what is typically observed, suggesting that the low-temperature electronic state of KNi$_2$Se$_2$ arises from cooperative Coulomb interactions and proximity to, but avoidance of, charge order.
