AI总结:

该研究在 NdNiO$_2$ 母体薄膜中观测到高达 11 K 的超导起始转变,并结合多类表征提出其或为内禀超导但受无序抑制,也可能源于随机顶端氧导致的空穴掺杂。

摘要:

我们报告了在无限层镍酸盐母体化合物 NdNiO$_2$ 薄膜中存在起始温度高达 11 K 的超导性的证据。通过结合氧化物分子束外延和原子氢还原,制备出具有高结晶度和低剩余电阻率的样品,其中相当一部分表现出超导转变。我们利用电学输运、扫描透射电子显微术、X 射线吸收光谱和共振非弹性 X 射线散射等多种技术,对大量系列样品进行了考察,以研究超导性的可能起源。我们提出,超导性可能是未掺杂无限层镍酸盐的内禀属性,但由于其节点型序参量而被无序所抑制;这一发现将促使人们重新审视镍酸盐相图。另一种可能的假设是,母体材料可被随机分散的顶端氧原子进行空穴掺杂,这将提示一条实现超导性的替代途径。

英文摘要:

We report evidence for superconductivity with onset temperatures up to 11 K in thin films of the infinite-layer nickelate parent compound NdNiO$_2$. A combination of oxide molecular-beam epitaxy and atomic hydrogen reduction yields samples with high crystallinity and low residual resistivities, a substantial fraction of which exhibit superconducting transitions. We survey a large series of samples with a variety of techniques, including electrical transport, scanning transmission electron microscopy, x-ray absorption spectroscopy, and resonant inelastic x-ray scattering, to investigate the possible origins of superconductivity. We propose that superconductivity could be intrinsic to the undoped infinite-layer nickelates but suppressed by disorder due to its nodal order parameter, a finding which would necessitate a reconsideration of the nickelate phase diagram. Another possible hypothesis is that the parent materials can be hole doped from randomly dispersed apical oxygen atoms, which would suggest an alternative pathway for achieving superconductivity.
