通过氧退火与等价稀土取代施加c轴压力,抑制双层镍酸盐薄膜的SDW转变温度,实现超导并选择性消除类电荷有序,揭示层间耦合对电子有序态的调控机制。
AI 中文摘要
自旋密度波(SDW)有序在双层镍酸盐中的发现,加剧了人们对其与超导性相互作用的兴趣。与铜氧化物中掺杂迅速抑制奈尔温度不同,双层镍酸盐中的SDW转变温度($T_{\mathrm{SDW}}$)对氧退火具有鲁棒性,甚至在压力下还会升高。在此,我们将氧退火与等价稀土($A$位)取代相结合,有效施加$c$轴单轴压力,实现了$T_{\mathrm{SDW}}$从150 K降至70 K的超导双层镍酸盐薄膜。值得注意的是,虽然SDW有序被削弱但仍然存在,第二种类电荷的各向异性有序在超导态中被完全消除。偏振分辨的O $K$边X射线吸收和电子结构计算表明,增强的层间耦合重构了费米面并削弱了SDW。这些发现与自旋-无自旋条纹基态一致,为密度波形成机制及其与超导性的相互作用提供了新的见解。
英文摘要
The discovery of spin-density-wave (SDW) order in bilayer nickelates has intensified interest in its interplay with superconductivity. Unlike cuprates, where doping rapidly suppresses the Néel temperature, the SDW transition temperature ($T_{\mathrm{SDW}}$) in bilayer nickelates is robust against oxygen annealing and even increases under pressure. Here, we combine oxygen annealing with isovalent rare-earth ($A$-site) substitution to effectively apply $c$-axis uniaxial pressure, realizing superconducting bilayer nickelate films with $T_{\mathrm{SDW}}$ suppressed from 150 K to 70 K. Notably, while SDW order is weakened but remains, a second charge-like anisotropy order is completely eliminated in the superconducting state. Polarization-resolved O $K$-edge X-ray absorption and electronic structure calculations show that strengthened interlayer coupling reconstructs the Fermi surface and weakens the SDW. These findings, consistent with a spin-spinless stripe ground state, provide new insight into the mechanism of density wave formation and their interplay with superconductivity.
