AI总结:

通过弹阻测量研究了Ba$_{1-x}$K$_x$Fe$_2$As$_2$中的向列涨落与电子关联,发现高掺杂下$A_{1g}$通道占主导并源于类Kondo共振,揭示了强掺杂区间电子关联对超导的重要作用。

摘要:

本工作通过在宽泛掺杂范围($0.63 < x < 0.98$)内的纵向和横向弹阻测量,研究了空穴掺杂铁磷族元素化物超导体Ba$_{1-x}$K$_x$Fe$_2$As$_2$中的向列涨落与电子关联。为此,通过将弹阻分解为$A_{1g}$和$B_{2g}$对称通道,揭示了电子响应的轨道特性。结果表明,在较低掺杂水平下,$B_{2g}$通道中的向列涨落占主导地位;而对于$x > 0.68$,$A_{1g}$通道变为占主导,并在$x \approx 0.8$处达到显著最大值,这表明存在强烈的轨道选择性电子关联。尽管在高掺杂下$A_{1g}$信号占主导,但$B_{2g}$通道中微弱的贡献仍然持续存在,这可以解释为向列涨落的残余。基于带有相互作用五轨道紧束缚哈密顿量的模型计算,将$A_{1g}$通道中观测到的增强归因于轨道选择性的类Kondo共振,主要涉及$d_{xy}$轨道。我们结合文献中报道的Sommerfeld系数的演变和超导序参量的变化讨论了结果。所有这些表明,对于$x > 0.68$出现了定性上的新物理。我们的发现表明,强空穴掺杂区间的电子关联在超导中起重要作用,而可检测到的微弱向列涨落也可能具有相关性。

英文摘要:

This work investigates nematic fluctuations and electronic correlations in the hole-doped iron pnictide superconductor Ba$_{1-x}$K$_x$Fe$_2$As$_2$ by means of longitudinal and transverse elastoresistance measurements over a wide doping range ($0.63 < x < 0.98$). For this purpose, the orbital character of the electronic response was revealed by decomposition of the elastoresistance into the $A_{1g}$ and $B_{2g}$ symmetry channels. It was shown that at lower doping levels nematic fluctuations in the $B_{2g}$ channel dominate, while for $x > 0.68$ the $A_{1g}$ channel becomes dominant and reaches a pronounced maximum at $x \approx 0.8$ which indicates strong orbital-selective electronic correlations. Despite the dominance of the $A_{1g}$ signal at high doping, a weak contribution in the $B_{2g}$ channel persists, which can be interpreted as a remnant of nematic fluctuations. Model calculations based on a five-orbital tight-binding Hamiltonian with interactions attribute the observed enhancement in the $A_{1g}$ channel to an orbital-selective Kondo-like resonance, predominantly involving the $d_{xy}$ orbital. We discuss our results in relation to the evolution of the Sommerfeld coefficient reported in the literature and a reported change of the superconducting order parameter. All this indicates that for $x > 0.68$ qualitatively new physics emerges. Our findings suggest that electronic correlations in the strongly hole-doped regime play an important role in superconductivity, while the detectable weak nematic fluctuations may also be of relevance.
