研究了流体静压和部分Na取代对K $_{1-x}$ Na $_x$ Fe $_2$ As $_2$单晶正常态性质和超导转变温度的影响。有人发现,部分Na取代导致偏离标准的$T^2$费米液体行为的正常状态电阻率的温度依赖性。结果表明,K $_{1-x}$、Na $_{x}$、Fe $_2$、As $_2$和部分KFe $_2$ As $_2$样品的电阻率的非费米液体行为可以用准粒子有效质量不同的多带系统中的无序效应来解释。关于超导状态,我们的数据支持存在一个浅的最小值约2 GPa的压力依赖性$T_c$化学计量KFe $_2$作为$_2$。在低于1.5 GPa的压力下对K $_{1-x}$ Na $_{x}$ Fe $_2$ As $_2$中的$T_c$的分析表明,用Na取代的$T_c$的还原遵循Abrikosov-Gor'kov定律,其中清洁系统(没有对断裂)的临界温度$T_{c0}$线性地依赖于压力。我们的观察还表明,K $_{1-x}$ Na $_x$ Fe $_2$ As $_2$的$T_c$几乎与Na取代产生的晶格压缩无关。在广义梯度近似(GGA)下,我们进一步从理论上分析了带结构在压力下的行为。计算结果与最近的de Haas-van Alphen实验[T. Terashima等人,这些计算还表明,在$T_c$的压力依赖性中观察到的最小值可能在不改变配对对称性的情况下发生。
英文摘要:
The effect of hydrostatic pressure and partial Na substitution on the normal-state properties and the superconducting transition temperature ($T_c$) of K$_{1-x}$Na$_x$Fe$_2$As$_2$ single crystals were investigated. It was found that a partial Na substitution leads to a deviation from the standard $T^2$ Fermi-liquid behavior in the temperature dependence of the normal-state resistivity. It was demonstrated that non-Fermi liquid like behavior of the resistivity for K$_{1-x}$Na$_{x}$Fe$_2$As$_2$ and some KFe$_2$As$_2$ samples can be explained by disorder effect in the multiband system with rather different quasiparticle effective masses. Concerning the superconducting state our data support the presence of a shallow minimum around 2 GPa in the pressure dependence of $T_c$ for stoichiometric KFe$_2$As$_2$. The analysis of $T_c$ in the K$_{1-x}$Na$_{x}$Fe$_2$As$_2$ at pressures below 1.5 GPa showed, that the reduction of $T_c$ with Na substitution follows the Abrikosov-Gor'kov law with the critical temperature $T_{c0}$ of the clean system (without pair-breaking) which linearly depends on the pressure. Our observations, also, suggest that $T_c$ of K$_{1-x}$Na$_x$Fe$_2$As$_2$ is nearly independent of the lattice compression produced by the Na substitution. Further, we theoretically analyzed the behavior of the band structure under pressure within the generalized gradient approximation (GGA). A qualitative agreement between the calculated and the recently in de Haas-van Alphen experiments [T. Terashima et al., Phys.Rev.B89, 134520(2014)] measured pressure dependencies of the Fermi-surface cross-sections has been found. These calculations, also, indicate that the observed minimum around 2~GPa in the pressure dependence of $T_c$ may occur without a change of the pairing symmetry.
Two Pressure-induced Superconducting Transitions in SnBi$_2$Se$_4$ Explored by Data-driven Materials Search: New Approach to Develop Novel Functional Materials Including Thermoelectric and Superconducting Materials
利用高通量的第一性原理计算从无机材料数据库中搜索了具有窄禁带和近带边平坦带的新型热电和超导材料的候选材料。在目标化合物中合成的SnBi $_2$ Se $_4$显示出354 meV的窄带隙,并且在环境压力下的热导率为1 W/Km。样品SnBi $_2$ Se $_4$在11.1 GPa下表现出金属-绝缘体转变,正如理论估计所预测的。在20.2GPa和47.3GPa下发现了两个压力诱导的超导转变。数据驱动的搜索是发现新功能材料的一种很有前途的方法。
Effect of pressure on magneto-transport properties in the superconducting and normal phases of the metallic double chain compound Pr$_{2}$Ba$_{4}$Cu$_{7}$O$_{15-δ}$
为了研究超导CuO双链的电子相图,我们报道了在低温(1.8-40 K)和不同磁场(14 T)下,外压对超导和非超导多晶样品Pr $_{2}$ Ba $_{4}$ Cu $_{7}$ O $_{15-δ}$的磁输运性质的影响.在烧结态非超导样品中,低温下磁电阻(MR)服从$H^{3/2}$的幂律,这与PrBa $_{2}$ Cu $_{4}$ O $_{8}$系统中MR的$H^{2}$依赖性不一致.超导相的负压力依赖性与Tomonaga-Luttinger液体理论的理论预测定性一致。常压下48 h还原的超导样品对$T > T_{c,on}=26.5$ K的MR没有明显的增加。与此相反,与超导样品的压力的应用程序,MR效应再现,也很好地拟合$H^{3/2}$。微翘曲费米面模型不仅解释了非超导样品的磁流变效应,而且与超导样品的压致磁流变现象的原因有关。
About the Pressure-Induced Superconducting State of Europium Metal at Low Temperatures
In Phys. Rev. Lett. 102,197002(2009)报道了元素Eu在压力和温度范围[84- 142 GPa],[1.8-2.75K]中变成超导体。这种说法主要是基于交流磁化率测量。最近报道的氢化物化合物在压力下的交流磁化率测量似乎在室温附近变得超导(Nature 586,373(2020))对Eu以及氢化物结果的有效性产生了严重怀疑。在这里,我提出的结果,揭示了新的光的真实行为的Eu。有人认为,必须重复Eu的实验,以验证或排除它是超导元素的说法。
Pressure induced re-emergence of superconductivity in superconducting topological insulator Sr0.065Bi2Se3
最近发现的Sr $_x$ Bi $_2$ Se $_3$超导体为研究可能的拓扑超导电性提供了另一种理想的材料基础。在这里,我们报告说,在Sr $_{0.065}$ Bi $_{2}$ Se $_3$,周围的超导相是逐渐压低后,施加外部压力。在高压下,在6GPa以上出现第二相,最大$\sim$值为$\sim$ 8.3K。高压同步辐射X射线衍射和电输运性质的联合研究表明,Sr $_{0.065}$ Bi $_{2}$ Se $_3$的超导电性的重新出现与其在6 GPa附近从环境菱面体相到高压单斜相的结构相变,以及在25 GPa以上进一步到另一高压四斜相的结构相变密切相关.
High pressure investigation of superconducting signatures in CeCu$_{2}$Si$_{2}$ : ac- magnetic susceptibility and heat capacity, resistivity and thermopower
利用一种新的多探针装置,我们在一个独特的样品上测量了超导体重费米子CeCu $_{2}$ Si $_{2}$在5.1GPa压力下的交流磁化率、电阻率、交流比热和热电势。在超导转变温度$T_c$下,迈斯纳信号对应于样品体积的预期信号,并且与比热跃变和电阻转变完成温度一致。与以前的观测结果不同,这里的磁化率测量没有发现任何异常的电阻转变开始附近。
