摘要:

关于Sr $_2$ RuO $_4$的非常规超导电性的一个关键问题仍然是序参量是单组分还是双组分。在双组分超导的假设下,单轴压力有望提升它们的简并度,导致分裂转变。对分裂跃迁最直接和最基本的探测是热容。在这里,我们报告的样品的热容量的测量受到大的和高度均匀的单轴压力。我们对任何第二次跃迁的热容特征设定了一个上限,它只占第一次超导跃迁的百分之几。热容量的归一化跳跃,$ΔC/C$,作为单轴压力的函数平稳增长,有利于序参量,其被允许在布里渊区的相同部分中最大化,作为研究良好的范霍夫奇点。由于我们的测量的高精度,这些研究结果严格限制的超导性理论的Sr $_2$ RuO $_4$。

英文摘要:

A key question regarding the unconventional superconductivity of Sr$_2$RuO$_4$ remains whether the order parameter is single- or two-component. Under a hypothesis of two-component superconductivity, uniaxial pressure is expected to lift their degeneracy, resulting in a split transition. The most direct and fundamental probe of a split transition is heat capacity. Here, we report measurement of heat capacity of samples subject to large and highly homogeneous uniaxial pressure. We place an upper limit on the heat-capacity signature of any second transition of a few per cent of that of the primary superconducting transition. The normalized jump in heat capacity, $ΔC/C$, grows smoothly as a function of uniaxial pressure, favouring order parameters which are allowed to maximize in the same part of the Brillouin zone as the well-studied van Hove singularity. Thanks to the high precision of our measurements, these findings place stringent constraints on theories of the superconductivity of Sr$_2$RuO$_4$.
