摘要:

铁硫系超导体FeSe是铁基超导体中结构最简单的一种。与其他铁磷属元素不同,FeSe没有表现出伴随四方到正交结构畸变的长程磁序,这提出了关于磁性及其相关的自旋涨落在介导向列性和超导性中的作用的基本问题。FeSe对外压的极端敏感性表明,由较小的离子S取代Se引起的化学压力也可以是一个很好的调谐参数,以进一步研究超导性和向列性之间的耦合,并获得费米面变化和超导态对称性的信息。在这里,我们使用热容量和热膨胀测量研究了3种成分($x=0$、0.08和0.15)的Fe(Se $_{1-x}$ S $_{x}$)的热力学性质。随着S含量的增加,我们观察到四方晶系到正交晶系的转变温度T $_{s}$的显着降低。然而,T $_{s}$的这种抑制与T $_c$以下的正交畸变$δ$的增强相反,这清楚地表明超导性有利于超导态。同时,超导转变温度T $_{c}$大大提高,而索末菲系数$γ_{n}$的增加是相当温和的。在T $\to$ 0极限,一个异常大的剩余态密度被发现$x>0$指示显着的替代诱导的障碍。我们讨论这些意见的背景下,$s+d$超导态对称性。

英文摘要:

Superconducting iron chalcogenide FeSe has the simplest crystal structure among all the Fe-based superconductors. Unlike other iron pnictides, FeSe exhibits no long range magnetic order accompanying the tetragonal-to-orthorhombic structural distortion, which raises the fundamental question about the role of magnetism and its associated spin fluctuations in mediating both nematicity and superconductivity. The extreme sensitivity of FeSe to external pressure suggests that chemical pressure, induced by substitution of Se by the smaller ion S, could also a be good tuning parameter to further study the coupling between superconductivity and nematicity and to obtain information on both the Fermi-surface changes and the symmetry of the superconducting state. Here we study the thermodynamic properties of Fe(Se$_{1-x}$S$_{x}$) for 3 compositions, $x=0$, 0.08 and 0.15, using heat-capacity and thermal-expansion measurements. With increasing S content we observe a significant reduction of the tetragonal-to-orthorhombic transition temperature T$_{s}$. However, this suppression of T$_{s}$ is counterintuitively accompanied by an enhancement of the orthorhombic distortion $δ$ below T$_c$, which clearly indicates that superconductivity favors the nematic state. In parallel, the superconducting transition temperature T$_{c}$ is sizeably enhanced, whereas the increase of the Sommerfeld coefficient $γ_{n}$ is quite moderate. In the T$\to$ 0 limit, an unusually large residual density of states is found for $x>0$ indicative of significant substitution-induced disorder. We discuss these observations in the context of $s+d$ superconducting-state symmetry.
