摘要:

铁基超导体(FBS)包括几个家族的化合物,具有相同的原子结构单元的超导性,但它们的物理性质之间存在很大的差异。该领域的一个长期目标是破译控制TC和各种兴奋剂机制的关键潜在因素。在FBS材料中,这由于不同家族所表现出的不同晶体和磁性结构而变得非常复杂。在本文中,使用像差校正扫描透射电子显微镜(STEM)结合电子能量损失谱(EELS),我们观察到一个普遍的行为,在空穴浓度和磁矩在不同的家庭。所有的母体材料在Fe 3d带中具有相同的电子总数;然而,由于不同的轨道占有率,局部Fe磁矩变化。虽然普遍的理解是,长期和本地磁矩减少与掺杂,我们发现,在超导性的发病附近,本地磁矩增加,并显示出一个圆顶状的最大值附近的最佳掺杂,其中没有有序的磁矩是本。此外,我们解决了一个长期存在的争论,关于如何在122砷化物家庭钴替代诱导超导性,显示3D带填充增加了掺杂的功能。这些对FBS性质的新的微观见解证明了自旋涨落对超导状态的重要性,揭示了不同FBS家族之间轨道占有率的变化,并确认电荷掺杂是122砷化物超导性的机制之一。

英文摘要:

Iron-based superconductors (FBS) comprise several families of compounds having the same atomic building blocks for superconductivity, but large discrepancies among their physical properties. A longstanding goal in the field has been to decipher the key underlying factors controlling TC and the various doping mechanisms. In FBS materials this is complicated immensely by the different crystal and magnetic structures exhibited by the different families. In this paper, using aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) coupled with electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS), we observe a universal behavior in the hole concentration and magnetic moment across different families. All the parent materials have the same total number of electrons in the Fe 3d bands; however, the local Fe magnetic moment varies due to different orbital occupancy. Although the common understanding has been that both long-range and local magnetic moments decrease with doping, we find that, near the onset of superconductivity, the local magnetic moment increases and shows a dome-like maximum near optimal doping, where no ordered magnetic moment is present. In addition, we address a longstanding debate concerning how Co substitutions induces superconductivity in the 122 arsenide family, showing that the 3d band filling increases a function of doping. These new microscopic insights into the properties of FBS demonstrate the importance of spin fluctuations for the superconducting state, reveal changes in orbital occupancy among different families of FBS, and confirm charge doping as one of the mechanisms responsible for superconductivity in 122 arsenides.
