摘要:

多带关联电子系统中的超导性研究已成为凝聚态/材料物理的中心课题之一。本文报道了超导填充方钴矿系统Pr $_{1-x}$ Ce $_x$ Pt $_4$ Ge $_{12}$($ 0 \leq x \leq 0.2$)的热力学测量结果,以研究Ce在Pr位的取代对超导电性的影响。我们发现,增加Ce浓度导致抑制的超导转变温度从$T_{c}\sim 7.9$ K的$x=0$的$T_c\sim 0.6$ K的$x=0.14$。我们对$x\leq 0.07$比热数据的分析表明,超导性必须在至少两个带中发展:超导序参量在一个费米口袋上有节点,在另一个口袋上保持完全带隙。节点和无节点的间隙值减少,与节点间隙被抑制更强烈,与Ce替代。最终,较高Ce浓度的样品($x>0.07$)仅显示无节点间隙。

英文摘要:

Studies of superconductivity in multiband correlated electronic systems has become one of the central topics in condensed matter/materials physics. In this paper, we present the results of thermodynamic measurements on the superconducting filled skutterudite system Pr$_{1-x}$Ce$_x$Pt$_4$Ge$_{12}$ ($ 0 \leq x \leq 0.2$) to investigate how substitution of Ce at Pr sites affects superconductivity. We find that an increase in Ce concentration leads to a suppression of the superconducting transition temperature from $T_{c}\sim 7.9$ K for $x=0$ to $T_c\sim 0.6$ K for $x=0.14$. Our analysis of the specific heat data for $x\leq 0.07$ reveals that superconductivity must develop in at least two bands: the superconducting order parameter has nodes on one Fermi pocket and remains fully gapped on the other. Both the nodal and nodeless gap values decrease, with the nodal gap being suppressed more strongly, with Ce substitution. Ultimately, the higher Ce concentration samples ($x>0.07$) display a nodeless gap only.
