AI总结:

研究通过分子束外延制备单斜结构LaSb₂薄膜,发现其超导临界温度提升至2K,并具有140nm超导相干长度,揭示了薄膜生长在稳定新型层状结构中的潜力。

摘要:

稀土二抗磁化合物表现出结构和电子序之间的耦合,这种耦合可通过压力和温度调节。本文报道了通过分子束外延制备的LaSb₂新晶型。利用衍射、电子显微镜和第一性原理计算,我们鉴定出一种尚未表征的YbSb₂型单斜晶格结构。该材料在2K下表现出超导性,其超导临界温度相对于体相环境相相比有所提高,且具有140nm的长超导相干长度。这一结果突显了薄膜生长在稳定准二维化合物中竞争层状结构新型堆叠配置方面的潜力。

英文摘要:

Rare-earth diantimondes exhibit coupling between structural and electronic orders which are tunable under pressure and temperature. Here we present the discovery of a new polymorph of LaSb$_2$ stabilized in thin films synthesized using molecular beam epitaxy. Using diffraction, electron microscopy, and first principles calculations we identify a YbSb$_2$-type monoclinic lattice as a yet-uncharacterized stacking configuration. The material hosts superconductivity with a $T_\mathrm{c}$ = 2 K, which is enhanced relative to the bulk ambient phase, and a long superconducting coherence length of 140 nm. This result highlights the potential thin film growth has in stabilizing novel stacking configurations in quasi-two dimensional compounds with competing layered structures.
