摘要:

要从理论上完全理解最复杂的超导体,就必须详细了解超导能隙$Δ_\mathbf{k}^α$的对称性,即每个能带$α$的费米面上的所有动量$\mathbf{k}$的对称性。虽然存在多种用于确定$|Δ_\mathbf{k}^α|$的技术,但是不存在测量$Δ_\mathbf{k}^α$的有符号值的通用方法。然而,最近,一种新的技术的基础上的超导准粒子干涉(QPI)的图形集中在一个单一的非磁性杂质原子的相位分辨可视化,被引入。原则上,这些图像的能量分辨和相位分辨傅立叶分析识别连接所有k空间区域的波矢量,其中$Δ_\mathbf{k}^α$具有相同或相反的符号。但是,使用单个孤立的杂质原子,从其精确的位置散射干涉图案的空间相位必须测量技术上是困难的。在这里,我们介绍了一个概括的这种方法用于多个杂质原子,并证明其有效性通过比较$Δ_\mathbf{k}^α$它产生的$Δ_\mathbf{k}^α$确定从单原子散射FeSe中$s_{\pm}$能隙对称性建立。最后,为了提高实用性,我们在LiFeAs上使用了多原子技术,并发现了相反符号的$Δ_\mathbf{k}^α$的类空穴和类电子口袋之间的散射干涉。

英文摘要:

Complete theoretical understanding of the most complex superconductors requires a detailed knowledge of the symmetry of the superconducting energy-gap $Δ_\mathbf{k}^α$, for all momenta $\mathbf{k}$ on the Fermi surface of every band $α$. While there are a variety of techniques for determining $|Δ_\mathbf{k}^α|$, no general method existed to measure the signed values of $Δ_\mathbf{k}^α$. Recently, however, a new technique based on phase-resolved visualization of superconducting quasiparticle interference (QPI) patterns centered on a single non-magnetic impurity atom, was introduced. In principle, energy-resolved and phase-resolved Fourier analysis of these images identifies wavevectors connecting all k-space regions where $Δ_\mathbf{k}^α$ has the same or opposite sign. But use of a single isolated impurity atom, from whose precise location the spatial phase of the scattering interference pattern must be measured is technically difficult. Here we introduce a generalization of this approach for use with multiple impurity atoms, and demonstrate its validity by comparing the $Δ_\mathbf{k}^α$ it generates to the $Δ_\mathbf{k}^α$ determined from single-atom scattering in FeSe where $s_{\pm}$ energy-gap symmetry is established. Finally, to exemplify utility, we use the multi-atom technique on LiFeAs and find scattering interference between the hole-like and electron-like pockets as predicted for $Δ_\mathbf{k}^α$ of opposite sign.
