AI总结:

本文利用ARPES结合STEM、EDS和EELS研究了环境压力下超导(La,Pr)3Ni2O7/SrLaAlO4异质结构,发现导电局域于界面首层原胞,费米面呈空穴掺杂特征,并由Ni dx2-y2和dz2轨道共同贡献,为镍酸盐超导机制提供了关键约束。

摘要:

在环境压力下发现的Ruddlesden-Popper双层镍酸盐薄膜超导体为研究超导态的电子结构提供了广阔的可能性。本文报道了在SrLaAlO4衬底上生长的1、2和3个原胞厚度的外延La2.85Pr0.15Ni2O7薄膜的角分辨光电子能谱(ARPES)测量结果,样品通过纯氧原位输运方式转移。利用具有不同探测深度的光子所获得的证据表明,导电主要局域在靠近界面的第一个原胞层。扫描透射电子显微镜(STEM)结合能量色散X射线光谱(EDS)和电子能量损失谱(EELS)表明,界面Sr扩散和显著的p-d杂化梯度可能共同导致了导电的界面局域化。费米面图谱显示,与非超导的环境压力块体晶体相比,该体系存在空穴掺杂。色散能带结构的测量结果表明,费米能级处同时有Ni dx2-y2和dz2轨道的贡献。密度泛函理论(DFT)+U计算捕捉到了ARPES结果的主要特征,与空穴掺杂图像一致。这些发现约束了超导机制的理论模型,并表明在环境压力下增强镍酸盐超导电性具有潜力。

英文摘要:

Ruddlesden-Popper bilayer nickelate thin film superconductors discovered under ambient pressure enable vast possibilities for investigating electronic structures of the superconducting state. Here, we report angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) measurements of 1, 2, and 3 unit-cell epitaxial La2.85Pr0.15Ni2O7 films grown on SrLaAlO4 substates, through pure-oxygen in situ sample transportation. Evidence obtained using photons with distinct probing depths shows that conduction is localized primarily at the first unit cell near the interface. Scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM), together with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS), indicates that interfacial Sr diffusion and pronounced p-d hybridization gradient may collectively account for the interfacial confinement of conduction. Fermi surface maps reveal hole doping compared to non-superconducting ambient-pressure bulk crystals. Measurements of dispersive band structures suggest the contributions from both Ni dx2-y2 and dz2 orbitals at the Fermi level. Density functional theory (DFT) + U calculations capture qualitative features of the ARPES results, consistent with a hole-doped scenario. These findings constrain theoretical models of the superconducting mechanism and suggest potential for enhancing superconductivity in nickelates under ambient pressure.
