Ta对C—15相V2Hf和V2(Zr0.5Hf0.5)系列声子性能的影响

本文用中子飞行时间方法对C-15相的超导材料V₂Hf,V₂Ta和V₂Hf_0.8Ta_0.2以及V₂Zr_0.5。Hf_0.5和V₂Zr_0.5Hf_0.33Ta_0.17的热中子非弹性散射谱作了测量,并计算出相对的广义声子态密度。结果与早先发表的Nb对C-15相V₂Zr和V₂(Hf_0.5Zr_0.5)系列声子性能的影响一致:声子频率随超导转变温度T_c增加而软化,随T_c减小而硬化。这表明,对于此类材料弹性软化在一定程度上对提高T_c起了作用。结果还进一步表明V₂Zr或V₂Hf与V₂(Zr_0.5Hf_0.5)之间有着质的差别,V₂Hf加Ta后,T_c增加,声子频率软化,而V₂(Zr_0.5Hf_0.5)加Ta后,T_c减小,声子频率则略有硬化。这与V₂Zr和V₂(Hf_0.5Zr_0.5)加Nb的结果是一致的。此结果可以用角动量分波表象的能带论方法分析电-声耦合相互作用得出的杂化理论来定性解释。 关键词：     

C-15结构(Hf,Zr,Ta)V2和(Hf,Zr,Nb)V2合金超导转变的压力效应研究

本文研究了C-15结构化合物(Zr_0.5Hf_0.5-xTa_x)V₂(x≤0.2)和(Hf_0.5Zr_0.5-xNb_x)V₂(x≤0.2)的超导转变温度T_c及其压力效应?T_c/?P。报道了实验方法与结果。与(Hf_1-xTa_x)V₂和(Zr_1-xTa_x)V₂的情况不同,在(Zr_0.5Hf_0.5-xTa_x)V₂中Ta的引入使常压下的T_c下降,然而(?)T_c/(?)P却大为提高。因此高压下Zr_0.5Hf_0.45Ta_0.05V₂的T_c反而比Hf_0.5Zr_0.5V₂更高。导出了一个基于角动量分波表象能带论方法的描述压力效应的新关系式。它指出导带电子波函数中的高角动量成分变化对T_c的压力效应影响比较重要。这个公式有助于理解上述复杂的实验现象,并能合理地解释某些元素(如Cs,Ba,La等)的T_c随压力剧增的事实。 关键词：     

(Hf_(0.5)Zr_(0.5)V_2)H_x的声子谱与超导性的关系

本文报道了用Be过滤探测器谱仪对C-15相的(Hf_(0.5)Zr_(0.5)V_2)H_x等五种样品的声子谱的测量。观察到了它们的声子谱随含氢量而变化以及声学支有规则的软化现象。表明Hf_(0.5)Zr_(0.5)V_2H_x的T_c随x的变化,主要是声学支的贡献,声学文软化有利于T_c的提高,而光学支“软化”可能会抑制超导性。

本文报道了用铍过滤探测器谱仪对LaNi_4.5Mn_0.5H_x在三种不同氢含量时测量的中子非弹性散射谱。结果表明,Mn原子部分置换LaNi₅中的Ni原子后,使M—H键增强,当x=6时,高能段的第二、三振动峰分别向高频方向位移了6meV和10meV。该结果与LaNi_4.5Mn_0.5H_x的平台压力(P-C-T等温线)下降的宏观热力学性能相一致。 关键词：     

非过渡金属非晶态超导电性的研究

本文中分析了非过渡金属非晶态超导体的超导参量、声子谱参量与霍耳系数之间的经验关系。研究了非晶态超导体的T_c,并得出,声子谱的软化所导致的T_c的提高幅度与电-声子耦合常数λ的提高幅度成线性关系;声子谱的高频截止频率愈高,其T_c也愈高。讨论了利用声子谱的软化虽然能大幅度地提高T_c值,但要获得包括金属Be在内的非过渡金属的高T_c非晶态超导体的希望是渺茫的。还讨论了非晶态超导体的上临界场H_c2和能隙2Δ₀所表现出的强耦合效应等问题。 关键词：

作者设计了一个图分析法,用来分析Eliashberg方程的数值解。从这个分析,得到如下结论:硬化归一有效声子谱g(ω),可使超导材料的T_c提高。而g(ω)软化,只能提高小λ超导体的T_c。 关键词：

Nb对C-15结构V2(HfZr)系列的超导转变温度的影响

本文中研究了C-15结构V₂Hf_1-xNb_x,V₂Zr_1-xNb_x和V₂Hf_0.5Zr_0.5-xNb_x系列的超导转变温度T_c与Nb合量x的关系,发现V₂Zr,V₂Hf加Nb后与V₂Hf_0.5Zr_0.5加Nb后性能显著不同。测定了V₂Zr,V₂Hf和V₂Hf_0.5Zr_0.5的X射线光电子能谱。结果表明,当Hf原子和Zr原子共存于AB₂化合物的A位上时,发生了一种增强原子间相互作用的新的电荷转移。这个事实支持由角动量分波表象能带论方法分析电声耦合超导原理的结果对四元V₂(HfZrNb)系列的超导行为提出的一种可能解释:4d-5d原子配位可能有助于提高4d导带的杂化程度,从而有利于提高超导T_c。 关键词：

Temperature-dependent Brillouin scattering studies of surface acoustic modes in Nd0.5Sr0.5MnO3

Brillouin scattering experiments are carried out to study the surface acoustic waves in Nd_0.5Sr_0.5MnO₃ as a function of temperature in the range of 40-300 K covering the metal-insulator and charge-ordering phase transitions. The surface modes include surface Rayleigh wave, pseudo-surface acoustic wave (PSAW) and high velocity PSAW. The observed softening of the sound velocities for the surface modes below paramagnetic to ferromagnetic transition, T_c is related to the softening of the C₄₄ elastic constant. The subsequent hardening of the sound velocity below the charge ordering transition temperature T_co is attributed to the coupling of the acoustic phonon to the charge ordered state via long range ordering of the strong Jahn-Teller (JT) distortion.     

Brillouin scattering investigation of paraelectric KH2PO4 under applied uniaxial stress

The Brillouin scattering spectra of KH₂PO₄ under an applied uniaxial stress have been studied in the neighborhood of the ferroelectric transition. Dependence of shear acoustic phonon on the uniaxial stress is similar to dependence on electric field. The acoustic phonon is overdamped near T_c, but become underdamped under the applied shear stress. In the case of ΔT(= T — T_c) < ～ 0.05 K, application of stress caused a transition not to have any soft acoustic phonon.     

Effect of 3d metal ion doping on the structure and superconductivity of (Tl0.5Pb0.5)Sr2CaCu2O7

(Tl_0.5Pb_0.5)Sr₂Ca(Cu_2−xM_x)O₇ (M=Co, Ni and Zn) have been synthesized and investigated by means of X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope, electrical resistivity and magnetic susceptibility measurements. X-ray diffraction patterns show that all studied samples contain the nearly single ‘1212’ phase. They crystallize in a tetragonal unit cell with a=3.8028-3.8040 Å and c=12.0748-12.1558 Å. In (Tl_0.5Pb_0.5)Sr₂Ca(Cu_2−xM_x)O₇ system (M=Co or Ni), the superconducting critical temperature T_c decreases linearly with both Co and Ni concentrations and the rate of T_c decrease is around −6.5 and −7.0 K/at%, respectively. For (Tl_0.5Pb_0.5)Sr₂Ca (Cu_2−xZn_x)O₇ system, the dependence of T_c on the Zn dopant concentration deviates from a linear behavior and the Zn substitution suppresses T_c much less (−2.5 K/at%) than the Co and Ni substitutions. The suppression in T_c in Co and Ni doped samples are attributed to the magnetic pair-breaking mechanism and the reduction in the carrier concentration. The suppression of T_c in Zn doped samples is not caused by the reduction in carrier concentration which should remain constant, but rather due to nonmagnetic pair-breaking mechanism induced by disorder as well as the filling of the local Cu d_x²−y² state due to the full d band of Zn ions.     

McMillan-Rowell tunneling spectroscopy in the Nb-Zr system

We report the first full application of tunneling spectroscopy to a superconducting transition metal alloy: Nb_1?xZr_x at x = 0.25, corresponding to the maximum T_c in the Nb-Zr system. The spectral function α²F(ω) and related parameters, when compared to those for the Nb, confirm that the increase in T_c from 9.22 K (x = 0) to 10.8 K(x = 0.25) arises largely by softening of the effective phonon spectrum.     

Magnetic properties and magneto electric effect in ferroelectric rich Ni0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4+BPZT ME composites

Magneto electric composites with composition (x) Ni_0.5Zn_0.5Fe₂O₄+(1-x) Ba_0.8Pb_0.2Zr_0.8Ti_0.2O₃ (BPZT—barium lead zirconate titanate) in which x varies as 0.0, 0.15, 0.30, 0.45 and 1.0 mol% were prepared by standard double sintering ceramic method. The presence of constituent phases such as ferrite and ferroelectric was confirmed by X-ray diffraction. The structural analyses were carried out by using X-ray diffraction pattern. Scanning electron micrographs (SEM) were taken to understand the microstructure of the samples. The calculated values of the porosity of the samples lie between 4.5% and 16.2%. The hysteresis measurements were made to determine saturation magnetization (M_s), magnetic moment (μ_B) and coercivity (H_c). From the AC susceptibility measurements the contribution of both the single domain (SD) particles of the ferrite phase and mixed domain (SD+MD) particles of the composites in ME output were explained. The static magneto electric voltage coefficients (dE/dH)_H were measured as a function of intensity of magnetic field and the maximum ME coefficient were observed for the composites with 30% of ferrite+70% of ferroelectric phase.     

X-ray and neutron investigations of the phase instabilities in K2SnCl6

From X-ray and neutron diffraction work with single crystals and powders we found two phase transitions at T_c1 = 260.5 ± 1 K and at T_c2 = 255 ± 1 K. The transition at T_c1 is characterised by the occurence of superstructure reflections breaking the f.c.c. translational symmetry, whereas the second one at T_c2 is indicated by a monoclinic lattice distortion without any further loss of translational symmetry. Both transitions can be explained by the softening of optical branches at the X- and the Γ-point of the Brillouin zone, corresponding to librations of the SnCl₆-octahedra. Evidence for this low energy phonon branch is offered from the observation of diffuse streaks with X-rats and from their inelastic nature as revealed by the neutron triple axes technique.
