We show that low-lying excitations of a 2D BCS superconductor are significantly altered when coupled to an externally driven cavity, which induces controllable long-range attractive interactions between the electrons. We find that they combine non-linearly with intrinsic local interactions to increase the Bogoliubov quasiparticle excitation energies, thus enlarging the superconducting gap. The long-range nature of the driven-cavity-induced attraction qualitatively changes the collective excitations of the superconductor. Specifically, they lead to the appearance of additional collective excitations of the excitonic modes. Furthermore, the Higgs mode is pushed into the gap and now lies below the Bogoliubov quasiparticle continuum such that it cannot decay into quasiparticles. This way, the Higgs mode's lifetime is greatly enhanced.

Epitaxial stabilization of an orthorhombic Mg-Ti-O superconductor
钛氧化物超导体具有许多与铜酸盐和铁磷属元素化物/硫属元素化物类似的有趣现象,为对比研究高温超导体的非常规配对机制提供了一个理想的平台。在这里,我们成功地沉积Mg-Ti-O超导薄膜MgAl $_2$ O $_4$基板上的三个主要取向通过烧蚀MgTi $_2$ O $_4$目标。特别地,令人惊讶地观察到,在(011)取向的衬底上生长了非预期结构的单晶膜,其中最高零电阻转变温度($T_{\mathrm{c}0}$)为5.0 K。该薄膜具有高度降低的Mg/Ti比和正交晶系Ti $_9$ O $_{10}$样结构(表示为Mg:Ti $_9$ O $_{10}$),通过进一步的化学组成和结构表征证明。这样的结构在体中是不稳定的,但是由于在所形成的界面处的相对小的应变而有利于在MgAl $_2$ O $_4$的(011)表面上外延稳定。在Mg:Ti $_9$ O $_{10}$薄膜中观察到一个各向同性的上临界场($B_{\mathrm{c}2}$),其最高可达13.7 T,突破了泡利极限,类似于其它超导钛氧化物。这种相似性表明了该族化合物超导电性的共同起源,这将为过渡金属化合物非常规超导电性的机理提供有价值的见解。

Competing pairing interactions responsible for the large upper critical field in a stoichiometric iron-based superconductor, CaKFe$_4$As$_4$
多带超导体的上临界场是揭示超导对本质的重要物理量。在这里,我们通过实验绘制出了化学计量比超导体CaKFe $_4$ As $_4$的完整上临界场相图,在磁场的不同取向下,温度可达4.2K。上临界场非常大,在最低温度下达到接近~3 $T_c$的值,并且各向异性随温度急剧减小,导致在4.2K下基本上各向同性的超导性。我们发现,温度依赖性的上临界场可以很好地描述了一个两带模型在清洁的限制与带耦合参数有利于带内带间相互作用。大泡利顺磁效应与浅带的存在是一致的,在低温下在这个干净的超导体的FFLO状态的稳定。
