The recently discovered superconducting infinite-layer nickelates offer a novel platform to explore an exotic pairing mechanism in multi-band systems towards high-temperature superconductivity and associated rich quantum phases, contrasting with cuprates. Here, we show that infinite-layer (La,Sr)NiO$_2$ exhibits strong-coupling superconductivity, resilient to in-plane magnetic fields exceeding 47 T at optimal doping - more than twice the Pauli limit for conventional BCS superconductors. This violation becomes pronounced towards the underdoped regime, implying an intriguing evolution of pairing glue. The unexpected observation of positive Seebeck coefficients in this regime indicates the presence of nontrivial electron correlations. Furthermore, our comprehensive investigation across the superconducting dome reveals that the evolution of (thermo)electric normal-state properties - specifically, the sign changes of the Hall and Seebeck coefficients - coincide with the evolution of superconducting anisotropy and pairing strength. This demonstrates a definitive link between electron correlations and strong-coupling superconductivity in (La,Sr)NiO$_2$, contributing to a unified framework for understanding unconventional superconductivity.
Massive suppression of proximity pairing in topological (Bi$_{1-x}$Sb$_{x})_2$Te$_3$ films on niobium
将体导电拓扑Bi $_2$ Se $_3$薄膜与s波超导体相连接,在非平凡的表面态中产生强超导有序.然而,在体Nb上的体绝缘拓扑(Bi $_{1-x}$ Sb $_{x})_2$ Te $_3$)膜反而表现出表面超导性的巨大衰减,即使对于仅两层厚的膜也是如此。这种对邻近配对的大规模抑制通过超高分辨率能带图和通过将量化的超导能隙与重n掺杂拓扑Bi $_2$ Se $_3$ /Nb的超导能隙进行对比而得到证明。结果强调了利用超导邻近效应在近本征系统中实现拓扑超导性的局限性。

Distinct pairing symmetries of superconductivity in infinite-layer nickelates
本文基于[Phys. Rev. B \textbf{101},020501(R)]中提出的广义模型哈密顿量的重整化平均场论,对新发现的超导镍酸盐Nd $_{1-x}$ Sr $_{x}$ NiO $_{2}$的配对对称性进行了理论预言.对于关键参数的实际值,我们发现小掺杂区域中的带隙($d+is$)波配对状态与大掺杂区域中的无带隙$d$波配对状态之间存在转变,并伴有费米表面的突然变化在临界掺杂处。我们的整体相图也显示了一个($d+is$)-$s$ -波过渡的可能性,如果电子杂化是相对较小的。在任何一种情况下,低掺杂($d+is$)波状态是一个带隙的超导状态与破坏的时间反转对称性。我们的研究结果与最近的实验观测结果定性一致,并预测了未来测量中要检查的几个关键特征。

Emergence of Superconductivity from Fully Incoherent Normal State in an Iron-Based Superconductor (Ba$_{0.6}$K$_{0.4}$)Fe$_2$As$_2$
在非常规超导体中,一般认为理解正常态的物理性质是理解超导机制的先决条件。在传统的超导体如铌或铅中,正常状态是费米液体,具有明确的费米表面和沿着费米表面的明确准粒子。在这种情况下,超导电性是通过超导态的费米表面不稳定性以及电子对(库珀配对)的形成和凝聚来实现的。另一方面,高温铜氧化物超导体代表了另一种极端的情况,即超导性可以在欠掺杂区域中实现,在欠掺杂区域中既没有由于赝能隙形成而定义良好的费米表面,也没有正常状态下的波腹区域附近的准粒子。在这里,我们报告了一个新的情况下,超导实现系统具有明确的费米面,但没有准粒子沿费米面在正常状态。对最佳掺杂的铁基超导体(Ba $_{0.6}$ K $_{0.4}$)Fe $_2$ As $_2$进行了高分辨率的激光角度分辨光电子能谱测量。我们发现,虽然尖锐的超导相干峰出现在超导态的类孔费米面片,没有准粒子峰存在于正常状态。它的电子行为强烈偏离费米液体系统。这种系统的超导能隙表现出不寻常的温度依赖性,在超导状态下它几乎是一个常数,并在T $_c$突然关闭。这些观察为研究非费米液体系统中的非常规超导性提供了新的平台。
