摘要:

用磁化强度、热容、横场(TF)和零场(ZF)μ子自旋旋转/弛豫($μ$ SR)测量研究了新近发现的双Fe $_2$ As $_2$层状高$T_c$超导体RbCa $_2$ Fe $_4$ As $_4$ F $_2$($T_c\approx$ 30 K)的超导性质.我们的低场磁化强度测量和热容(C $_p$)表明,在$T_{\bf c}\sim$ 30.0(4)K时,样品开始出现体超导。此外,在$Δ$的$T_{\bf c}$处,热容量表现出跃变,C $_p$ / $T_{\bf c}$ =94.6(mJ/mole-K $^2$),在2 K和5 K之间,直到9 T,没有观察到外加磁场对C $_p$(T)的明显影响。我们的TF- $μ$ SR结果的分析表明,磁穿透深度的温度依赖性是更好地描述了一个双间隙模型,无论是各向同性$s$ + $s$-波或$s$ + $d$ -波比单间隙各向同性$s$ -波或$d$ -波模型的超导间隙。在RbCa $_2$ Fe $_4$ As $_4$ F $_2$中存在两个超导能隙,表明超导性具有多带性质,这与在其他铁基超导体中观察到的多能隙超导性一致,包括ACa $_2$ Fe $_4$ As $_4$ F $_2$(A=K和Cs)。此外,从我们的TF- $μ$ SR研究中,我们估计了平面内穿透深度$λ_{\mathrm{ab}}$ $(0)$ =231.5(3)nm,超导载流子密度$n_s = 7.45 \times 10^{26}~ $ m $^{-3}$,以及载流子的有效质量$m^*$ = 2.45 \textit{m} $_{e}$。我们的ZF $μ$ SR测量没有揭示在$T_{\bf c}$的时间反演对称性破缺的明显迹象,但在150 K和1.2 K之间的温度依赖性弛豫可能表明存在自旋涨落。我们目前的研究结果进行了比较与其他铁磷属元素化物超导体的报告。

英文摘要:

The superconducting properties of the recently discovered double Fe$_2$As$_2$ layered high-$T_c$ superconductor RbCa$_2$Fe$_4$As$_4$F$_2$ with $T_c\approx$ 30~K have been investigated using magnetization, heat capacity, transverse-field (TF) and zero-field (ZF) muon-spin rotation/relaxation ($μ$SR) measurements. Our low field magnetization measurements and heat capacity (C$_p$) reveal an onset of bulk superconductivity with $T_{\bf c}\sim$ 30.0(4) K. Furthermore, the heat capacity exhibits a jump at $T_{\bf c}$ of $Δ$C$_p$/$T_{\bf c}$=94.6 (mJ/mole-K$^2$) and no clear effect of applied magnetic fields was observed on C$_p$(T) up to 9 T between 2 K and 5 K. Our analysis of the TF-$μ$SR results shows that the temperature dependence of the magnetic penetration depth is better described by a two-gap model, either isotropic $s$+$s$-wave or $s$+$d$-wave than a single gap isotropic $s$-wave or $d$-wave model for the superconducting gap. The presence of two superconducting gaps in RbCa$_2$Fe$_4$As$_4$F$_2$ suggests a multiband nature of the superconductivity, which is consistent with the multigap superconductivity observed in other Fe-based superconductors, including ACa$_2$Fe$_4$As$_4$F$_2$ (A=K and Cs). Furthermore, from our TF-$μ$SR study we have estimated an in-plane penetration depth $λ_{\mathrm{ab}}$$(0)$ =231.5(3) nm, superconducting carrier density $n_s = 7.45 \times 10^{26}~ $m$^{-3}$, and carrier's effective-mass $m^*$ = 2.45\textit{m}$_{e}$. Our ZF $μ$SR measurements do not reveal a clear sign of time reversal symmetry breaking at $T_{\bf c}$, but the temperature dependent relaxation between 150 K and 1.2 K might indicate the presence of spin-fluctuations. The results of our present study have been compared with those reported for other Fe pnictide superconductors.
