We report measurements of the temperature dependence of phonon densities of states in K0.8Fe1.6Se2 using inelastic neutron scattering technique. While cooling down to 150 K, a phonon peak splitting around 25 meV is observed and a new peak appears at 31 meV. The measurements support the recent Raman and infra-red measurements indicating a lowering of symmetry of K0.8Fe1.6Se2 upon cooling below 250 K. Ab-initio phonon calculations have been carried out for K0.8Fe1.6Se2 and KFe2Se2. The comparison of the phonon spectra as obtained from the magnetic as well as non magnetic calculations show pronounced differences. We show that in the two calculations the energy range of the vibrational contribution from both Fe and Se are quite different. We conclude that Fe magnetism is correlated to the phonon dynamics and it plays an important role in stabilizing the structure of K0.8Fe1.6Se2 as well as that of KFe2Se2. The calculations highlight the presence of low energy librational modes in K0.8Fe1.6Se2 as compared to KFe2Se2.
Low-energy phonons in Bi$_2$Sr$_2$CaCu$_2$O$_{8+δ}$ and their possible interaction with electrons measured by inelastic neutron scattering
铜氧化物超导体中的电子-声子相互作用仍然是个谜。某些光学声子的强耦合现在已经在实验上得到了很好的建立,但理论上的理解是具有挑战性的。费米面附近的电子散射的纵向声学(LA)声子是预期从基本理论,因为这些声子调制电子密度。我们使用非弹性中子散射的最佳掺杂的Bi $_2$ Sr $_2$ CaCu $_2$ O $_{8+δ}$的一个大的单晶样品上显示,低能量LA声子可以耦合到电子密度波动只有在小的声子波矢,这自然限制了任何相互作用向前散射。在d波带隙的情况下,这种散射不应该是成对断裂的。我们还发现,以前报道的低能量声子谱重量中途的区域边界是符合传统的晶格动力学,并不反映初期的电荷密度波。
Efficient ab initio Migdal-Eliashberg calculation considering the retardation effect in phonon-mediated superconductors
我们制定了一个有效的计划进行Migdal-Eliashberg计算考虑延迟效应的第一性原理。虽然传统的方法需要大量的松原频率,我们表明,格林函数的中间表示[H。Shinaoka等人,Phys. Rev. B 96,035147(2017)]显著降低了求解线性化间隙方程的数值成本。在不引入任何经验参数的情况下,我们证明了我们可以成功地非常准确地再现元素Nb的超导转变温度($\sim 10$ K)的实验。目前的结果表明,我们的方法具有优越的性能,许多超导体的$T_{\rm c}$低于${\mathcal O}(10)$ K

在这项工作中,我们提出了一个非弹性X射线散射实验的结果,详细的行为的横向声学[110]声子在BaFe 2 As 2作为温度的函数。当通过结构转变温度冷却时,横向声学声子能量从室温下的值减少,在非弹性动量传递q=0.1附近达到最大位移。这种软化的晶格的结果在一个变化的对称性从四方晶系到斜方晶系在相同的温度下的过渡到长程反铁磁秩序。虽然晶格畸变很小,但磷属元素化物母体化合物的磁交换常数的各向异性很大。我们提出了电子-声子耦合机制来描述晶格软化和磁有序开始之间的相互作用。
