Muon spin rotation/relaxation measurements were performed to investigate magnetic properties of FeSe$_{1-x}$S$_x$ thin films on LaAlO$_3$. A drastic decrease of the initial asymmetry was observed together with the peak structure in the temperature dependence of the relaxation rate of muon spins almost at the same temperature where kink anomalies were observed in the temperature dependent resistivity. With increasing S content, the anomaly temperature increased and the magnetic fluctuations at the lowest temperature were suppressed. These results show that the S substitution induces magnetism at low temperatures in FeSe$_{1-x}$S$_x$ thin films. Although the behaviors of the magnetic and nematic phases in FeSe films towards chemical pressure by S substitution are similar to those for bulk FeSe towards hydrostatic pressure, the behavior of $T_{\mathrm c}$ is significantly different between these systems. Our results demonstrate that the detailed comparative investigation among physical and chemical pressure effects is essentially important to understand the interplay of the magnetism, the nematicity and the superconductivity in iron chalcogenides.
Growth of superconducting epitaxial films of sulfur substituted FeSe via pulsed laser deposition
本文报道了用脉冲激光沉积法成功地生长了含$x \leq 0.43$的FeSe $_{1-x}$ S $_x$外延薄膜。随着S含量的增加，超导转变温度$T_{\mathrm s}$系统地降低，并且超导转变温度$T_{\mathrm c}$显示出逐渐降低，即使当$x$超过超导终点（NEP）时，类似于体样品。对于具有大$x$的膜，在$ρ$-$T$曲线中观察到新的扭结异常，这可能是由于磁性转变。FeSe $_{1-x}$ S $_x$薄膜的相图与FeSe $_{1-y}$ Te $_y$薄膜的相图相反，其显示在NEP处$T_{\mathrm c}$快速增加。结果表明，在FeSe体系中，超导电性与超有序度之间的关系并不普遍，这表明在这些材料中，超导电性与超有序度之间的关系并不是主要的.
Dome of magnetic order inside the nematic phase of sulfur-substituted FeSe under pressure
研究了硫取代Fe（Se $_{1-x}$ S $_{x}$）的结构、磁性和超导转变以及超导上临界场的压力依赖性。电阻测量进行单晶体上的三个取代水平（$x$ =0.043，0.096，0.12）下的静水压力高达1.8 GPa和磁场高达9 T，并与纯FeSe的数据进行比较。我们的结果说明了化学和物理压力对Fe（Se $_{1-x}$ S $_{x}$）的影响。随着硫含量的增加，低压区的磁有序被强烈抑制到相图中的一个小的圆顶状区域。然而，$T_s$是少得多的抑制硫取代和$T_c$的Fe（Se $_{1-x}$ S $_{x}$）表现出类似的非单调压力依赖性与局部最大值和局部最小值存在于低压范围内的所有$x$。$T_c$中的局部最大值与$T_c$上方磁序的出现相一致。在这个压力下，上临界场的斜率突然减小。$T_c$的最小值与由$T_c$归一化的上临界场斜率的宽最大值相关。
High-resolution angle-resolved photoemission measurements were taken on FeSe$_{1-x}$S$_x$ (x=0, 0.04, and 0.08) superconductors. With an ultrahigh energy resolution of 0.4 meV, unusual two hole bands near the Brillouin-zone center, which was possibly a result of additional symmetry breaking, were identified in all the sulfur-substituted samples. In addition, in both of the hole bands highly anisotropic superconducting gaps with resolution limited nodes were evidenced. We find that the larger superconducting gap on the outer hole band is reduced linearly to the nematic transition temperature wh…
A Raman scattering study covering the entire substitution range of the FeSe$_{1-x}$S$_x$ solid solution is presented. Data were taken as a function of sulfur concentration $x$ for $0\le x \le 1$, of temperature and of scattering symmetry. All type of excitations including phonons, spins and charges are analyzed in detail. It is observed that the energy and width of iron-related B$_{1g}$ phonon mode vary continuously across the entire range of sulfur substitution. The A$_{1g}$ chalcogenide mode disappears above $x=0.23$ and reappears at a much higher energy for $x=0.69$. In a similar way the sp…
We investigated chemical pressure effects in electron-doped (e-doped) FeSe by fabricating an electric-double-layer structure with single crystalline FeSe films on LaAlO$_3$ with Se substituted by isovalent Te and S. Our method enables transport measurements of e-doped FeSe. Electron doping by applying gate voltage of 5 V increases $T_{\mathrm c}$ of the FeSe$_{1-x}$Te$_x$ and FeSe$_{1-y}$S$_y$ films with $0 \leq x \leq 0.4$ and $0 \leq y \leq 0.25$, while the e-doped $x=0.5$ film showed lower $T_{\mathrm c}$ than that of the undoped one. Both positive and chemical pressure suppress $T_{\mathrm…
Systematic Comparison of Eight Substrates in the Growth of FeSe$_{0.5}$Te$_{0.5}$ Superconducting Thin Films
本文研究了在八种不同衬底上生长的FeSe $_{0.5}$ Te $_{0.5}$薄膜的晶体结构和超导性质。超导性与晶格失配无关，而是与面内取向程度和晶格参数比$c/a$相关。在MgO和LaAlOPDMATHABMO（$T_\mathrm{c}^\mathrm{zero}$为9.5 K）上的薄膜中观察到最好的超导性能。TEM观察表明，在衬底表面的非晶类层的存在或不存在起着关键作用，在确定的结构和超导性能的生长薄膜。
The angular-dependent magnetoresistance (AMR) of the ab plane is measured on the single crystals of FeSe1-xSx (x = 0, 0.07, 0.13 and 1) and FeSe1-yTey (y = 0.06, 0.61 and 1) at various temperatures under fields up to 9 T. A pronounced twofold-anisotropic carrier-scattering effect is identified by AMR, and attributed to a magnetic-field-induced spin nematicity that emerges from the tetragonal normal-state regime below a characteristic temperature Tsn. This magnetically polarized spin nematicity is found to be ubiquitous in the isoelectronic FeSe1-xSx and FeSe1-yTey systems, no matter whether th…
Electronic nematicity in correlated metals often occurs alongside another instability such as magnetism. As a result, the question remains whether nematicity alone can drive unconventional superconductivity or anomalous (quantum critical) transport in such systems. In FeSe, nematicity emerges in isolation, providing a unique opportunity to address this question. Studies to date, however, have proved inconclusive; while signatures of nematic criticality are observed upon sulfur substitution, they appear to be quenched under the application of pressure due to the emergent magnetism. Here, we stu…
Highly Anisotropic Superconducting Gap in Nematically Ordered and Tetragonal Phases of FeSe$_{1-x}$S$_x$
FeSe具有独特的基态，其中在环境压力下，超导性与非磁性有序共存，而没有长程磁有序。在这里，研究如何配对相互作用的发展与向列性，我们测量了FeSe $_{1-x}$ S $_x$的热导率和比热，其中向列性被抑制的等电子硫取代。我们发现，在整个双（$0\leq x \leq 0.17$）和四（$x=0.20$）制度，小磁场的应用导致这两个量的急剧增加。这表明在超导能隙函数中存在深的极小值或线节点，意味着在超导体的超导态和四超导态中，对相互作用是显著的各向异性。此外，目前的结果表明，在四氢呋喃制度的间隙极小值/节点的位置似乎是本质上不同于在四氢呋喃制度。这些结果对目前的理论提出了重要的限制。
Superconducting properties of sulfur-doped iron selenide
最近在单层铁硒化物中发现的高温超导性引起了人们对通过晶格改性优化铁基超导体超导性能的重大实验兴趣。为了模拟类似的效果，通过改变化学成分，由于S掺杂，我们研究了高品质的FeSe $_{1-x}$ S $_{x}$（$x$ =0，0.04，0.09，和0.11）单晶的超导性能，使用磁化强度，电阻率，伦敦穿透深度，和低温比热测量。我们发现，S的FeSe的引入提高了超导转变温度$T_{c}$，各向异性，上临界场$H_{c2}$，和临界电流密度$J_{c}$。上临界场$H_{c2}(T)$及其各向异性与温度有很强的相关性，表明该体系具有多带超导性。通过对伦敦穿透深度$λ_{ab}(T)$和比热的测量和分析，我们得到了强耦合双能隙$s$波超导的明确证据。由低临界场和电子比热计算得到的$λ_{ab}(T)$的温度依赖性可以用具有$s$类波隙的双带模型来描述。我们发现在弱耦合近似下的$d$波和单能隙BCS理论不能描述我们的实验。由磁场引起的比热变化只能用多带超导来理解。
Interrelationships between nematicity, antiferromagnetic spin fluctuations and superconductivity: Role of hotspots in FeSe$_{1-x}$S$_{x}$ revealed by high pressure $^{77}$Se NMR study
Correlation between Superconductivity and Magnetic Fluctuations in Fe(Se1-xSx) Revealed by 77Se NMR
我们目前的$^{77}$ Se-NMR测量FeSe $_{1-x}$ S $_x$样品与硫含量$x=0,9,15$和$29\%$。除了$x=29\%$之外，在所有样品的NMR光谱中观察到孪晶畴。NMR自旋-晶格弛豫速率表明，磁波动最初增强之间的$x=0\%$和$x=9\%$，但强烈抑制较高的$x$值。所观察到的行为的磁波动平行的超导转变温度$T_c$在这些材料中，提供了强有力的证据的主要重要性的磁波动的超导性，尽管在这个系统中存在的量子临界。
