摘要:

为了阐明(Ca,RE)Fe_2As_2体系反常超导电性的起源,采用FeAs助熔剂法生长了Pr掺杂和Pr,Co共掺杂的CaFe_2As_2单晶。这些样品在Tc 1 = 25~42 K,Tc 2 < 16 K时表现出两步超导转变,表明(Ca,RE)Fe_2As_2体系具有两个超导组分。在不同温度下对这些晶体在真空石英安瓿中进行的后退火显示,在约400°C下的后退火增加了所有样品的c轴长度。这表明,生长的晶体具有一定程度的应变,其通过在~400°C下的后退火而释放。通过后退火,超导性能也发生了显着变化。在400°C退火后,部分共掺杂样品表现出大的超导体积分数,对应于Tc 2以下的完全抗磁性,在低场2 K下的高Jc值为104~105 Acm-2,表明(Ca,RE)Fe 2As 2相在Tc 2以下发生了体超导电性。相反,超导体的体积分数高于Tc 2总是很小,这表明在该系统中观察到的40 K级超导性起源于晶体中的局部超导性。

英文摘要:

In order to clarify the origin of anomalous superconductivity in (Ca,RE)Fe2As2 system, Pr doped and Pr,Co co-doped CaFe2As2 single crystals were grown by the FeAs flux method. These samples showed two-step superconducting transition with Tc1 = 25~42 K, and Tc2 < 16 K, suggesting that (Ca,RE)Fe2As2 system has two superconducting components. Post-annealing performed for these crystals in evacuated quartz ampoules at various temperatures revealed that post-annealing at ~400°C increased the c-axis length for all samples. This indicates that as-grown crystals have a certain level of strain, which is released by post-annealing at ~400°C. Superconducting properties also changed dramatically by post-annealing. After annealing at 400°C, some of the co-doped samples showed large superconducting volume fraction corresponding to the perfect diamagnetism below Tc2 and high Jc values of 104~105 Acm-2 at 2 K in low field, indicating the bulk superconductivity of (Ca,RE)Fe2As2 phase occurred below Tc2. On the contrary, the superconducting volume fraction above Tc2 was always very small, suggesting that 40 K-class superconductivity observed in this system is originating in the local superconductivity in the crystal.
