摘要:

我们提出了一种先进的方法来研究自旋涨落在超导体定量,完全从第一性原理。这种方法一般适用于电子-声子耦合和自旋涨落共存的材料。本文用实验$_4$ K [H. Gou \textit{et al.},物理学评论快报。\textbf{111},157002(2013)]。我们证明,FeB $_4$是特别容易铁磁自旋波动,由于铁的存在下,导致在一个大的斯通纳相互作用强度,$I=1.5$电子伏特,从第一原理计算。另一个重要的因素是它的费米面,由三个独立的片,其中两个嵌套的椭球。由此产生的磁化率在$\textbf{q}=0$附近有一个铁磁峰,由此我们使用无规相位近似计算了Cooper对电子之间的排斥相互作用。随后,我们结合电子-声子相互作用的第一性原理计算的自旋涨落相互作用的完全各向异性Eliashberg理论计算。我们表明,由此产生的超导能隙谱是常规的,但非常强烈的耗尽,由于耦合到自旋波动。临界温度从$T_{\mathrm{c}}= 41$ K(如果不考虑它们)下降到$T_{\mathrm{c}}= 1.7$ K,与实验值符合得很好。

英文摘要:

We present an advanced method to study spin fluctuations in superconductors quantitatively, and entirely from first principles. This method can be generally applied to materials where electron-phonon coupling and spin fluctuations coexist. We employ it here to examine the recently synthesized superconductor iron tetraboride (FeB$_4$) with experimental $T_{\mathrm{c}}\sim 2.4$ K [H. Gou \textit{et al.}, Phys. Rev. Lett. \textbf{111}, 157002 (2013)]. We prove that FeB$_4$ is particularly prone to ferromagnetic spin fluctuations due to the presence of iron, resulting in a large Stoner interaction strength, $I=1.5$ eV, as calculated from first principles. The other important factor is its Fermi surface that consists of three separate sheets, among which two nested ellipsoids. The resulting susceptibility has a ferromagnetic peak around $\textbf{q}=0$, from which we calculated the repulsive interaction between Cooper pair electrons using the random phase approximation. Subsequently, we combined the electron-phonon interaction calculated from first principles with the spin fluctuation interaction in fully anisotropic Eliashberg theory calculations. We show that the resulting superconducting gap spectrum is conventional, yet very strongly depleted due to coupling to the spin fluctuations. The critical temperature decreases from $T_{\mathrm{c}}= 41$ K, if they are not taken into account, to $T_{\mathrm{c}}= 1.7$ K, in good agreement with the experimental value.
