Photo-Induced Phase Transition to a Striped Polaron Crystal in Cuprates

Here we report the evidence of a disorder-to-order photo-induced phase transition (PIPT) under X-ray (h x = 12.4 keV) illumination in oxygen doped La 2 CuO 4 + i . The commensurate striped polaron crystalline phase is induced by the irradiation of X-rays in a cuprate perovskite at hole doping i ¨ 1/8 and high Cu-O micro-strain, k >7%. The nucleation of long range crystalline phases of holes on the oxygen 2 p x,y orbitals in the CuO 2 plane associated with pseudo Jahn Teller local lattice distortions (LLD) is favored by mobile counter-ions (interstitial oxygen ions in the La 2 O 2 layer) in the temperature range 200-350 K. The PIPT appears beyond a threshold dose of 10 17 photons/cm 2 at 220 K and a power law of the polaron crystal growth is observed as a function of the X-ray illumination dose.

La0．85Sr0．015MnO3—δ／Fe异质结构的瞬间光电导研究

采用磁控溅射的方法在Si基片上制备了La0.85Sr0.015MnO3-δ/Fe异质结构,对所制备结构中La0.85Sr0.015MnO3-δ薄膜的输运及光诱导特性进行了分析,表明薄膜在整个测量的温度区间内呈现金属一半导体相变,相变温度为130K.在低温金属相,磁场作用导致电阻减小,而高温半导体相则使电阻增大;激光辐照导致样品电阻减小,并产生瞬间光电导效应,即随着激光的关闭电阻瞬间恢复到原值,其相对变化值随着温度的降低而增大,并在温度为80K时达到极大值约1660%,分析认为该瞬态光电导效应可能与薄膜本身的氧缺陷有关.

Combined Study of Structural,Magnetic and Transport Properties of Eu_(0.5)Ln_(0.5)BiS_2F Superconductor

Superconductivity below 0.3 K and a charge-density-wave-like(CDW-like) anomaly at 280 K were observed in EuBiS_2F recently.Here we report a systematic study of structural and transport properties in Eu_(0.5)Ln_(0.5)BiS_2F(Ln=La,Ce,Pr,Nd,Sm) by electrical resistivity,magnetization,and specific heat measurements.The lattice constants have a significant change upon rare earth substitution for Eu,suggesting an effective doping.As Ln is changed from Sm to La,the superconducting transition temperature T_c increases from 1.55 K to 2.8 K.In contrast to the metallic parent compound,the temperature dependence of electrical resistivity displays semiconductinglike behavior for all the Eu_(0.5)Ln_(0.5)BiS_2F samples.Meanwhile,the CDW-like anomaly observed in EuBiS2F is completely suppressed.Unlike the mixed valence state in the undoped compound,Eu ions in these rareearth-doped samples are mainly divalent.A specific anomaly at 1.3 K resembling that in EuBiS2F suggests the coexistence of superconductivity and spin glass state for Eu_(0.5)La_(0.5)BiS_2F.Coexistence of ferromagnetic order and superconductivity is found below 2.2 K in Eu_(0.5)Ce_(0.5)BiS_2F samples.Our results supplies a rich diagram showing that many interesting properties can be induced in BiS_2-based compounds.

Structural anomalies associated with the electronic and spin transitions in LnCoO<Subscript>3</Subscript>

A powder X-ray diffraction study, combined with magnetic susceptibility and electric transport measurements, was performed on a series of LnCoO₃ perovskites (Ln = Y, Dy, Gd, Sm, Nd, Pr and La) over a temperature range 100–1000 K. A non-standard temperature dependence of the observed thermal expansion was modelled as a sum of three contributions: (1) weighted sum of lattice expansions of the cobaltite in the diamagnetic low spin state and in the intermediate (IS) or high (HS) spin state. (2) An anomalous expansion due to the increasing population of excited (IS or HS) states of Co³⁺ ions over the course of the diamagnetic-paramagnetic transition. (3) An anomalous expansion due to excitations of Co³⁺ ions to another paramagnetic state accompanied by an insulator-metal transition. The anomalous expansion is governed by parameters that are found to vary linearly with the Ln ionic radius. In the case of the first magnetic transition it is the energy splitting E between the ground low spin state and the excited state, presumably the intermediate spin state. The energy splitting E, determined by a fit to magnetic susceptibility, decreases with temperature. The values of E determined for LaCoO₃ and YCoO₃ at T=0 K are 164 K and 2875 K respectively, which fall to zero at T=230 K for LaCoO₃ and 860 K for YCoO₃. The second anomalous expansion connected with a simultaneous magnetic and insulator-metal transition is characterized by its center at T=535 K for LaCoO₃ and 800 K for YCoO₃. The change of the unit cell volume during each transition is independent of the Ln cation and is about 1% in both cases.

Synthesis and superconducting properties of the infinite-layer compounds Sr1−xLnxCuO2(Ln=La, Nd, Sm, Gd)

Infinite-layer-type superconductors Sr_1−xLn_xCuO₂ are synthesized under high pressure of 3 GPa for Ln=Sm, Gd as well as for Ln=La, Nd. Their chemical and superconducting properties are systematically studied as functions of doping concentration and the kind of lanthanide ion. As a result, it is demonstrated that the variation of these properties with doping concentration is similar for all the examined Ln³⁺ ions. The solubility limit lies at x ≈ 0.10. CuO₂ sheets are expanded with increasing x, while their spacing decreases. The T_c onset determined by magnetic measurements remains constant for any doping concentration; only the Meissner fraction increases with increasing x.

Tricritical phenomena at the gamma-->alpha transition in Ce0.9-xLaxTh0.1 alloys

The gamma-->alpha isostructural transition in the Ce0.9-xLaxTh0.1 system is measured as a function of La alloying using specific heat, magnetic susceptibility, resistivity, thermal expansivity or striction measurements. A line of discontinuous transitions, as indicated by the change in volume, decreases exponentially from 118 K to close to 0 K with increasing La doping, and the transition changes from being first-order to continuous at a critical concentration, x(c) approximately 0.14. At the tricritical point, the coefficient of the linear T term in the specific heat gamma and the magnetic susceptibility increase rapidly near x(c) and approach large values at x=0.35 signifying that a heavy Fermi-liquid state evolves at large doping. The Wilson ratio reaches a value above 2 for a narrow range of concentrations near x(c), where the specific heat and susceptibility vary most rapidly with the doping concentration.

57Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy on disordered crystalline media with Ca-gallogermanate type structure. II. Below the magnetic ordering temperature

Magnetic phase transitions in disordered crystalline iron germanates of the type Sr₂LnFe₃Ge₃O₁₄ (Ln=La; Nd) were observed at low temperatures by means of⁵⁷Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy. The hyperfine interaction of Fe³⁺ magnetic moments ordered in one octahedral and two tetrahedral magnetic sublattices is discussed. A local environment computation on the octahedral sites confirms the assumption that the wide distribution found for the 4.2 K octahedral hyperfine fields is due to the random occupation by Fe³⁺ and Ge⁴⁺ ions of the nearest cation environment of the octahedral iron. The effect of substituting Ln rare earth ions in the Thompson cubes on the magnetic behaviour of these compounds is pointed out.

Electron-stimulated desorption of potassium and cesium atoms from oxidized molybdenum surfaces

The electron-stimulated desorption (ESD) yields and energy distributions for potassium (K) and cesium (Cs) atoms have been measured from K and Cs layers adsorbed at 300 K on oxidized molybdenum surfaces with various degrees of oxidation. The measurements were carried out using a time-of-flight method and surface ionization detector. The ESD appearance threshold for K and Cs atoms is independent of the molybdenum oxidation state and is close to the oxygen 2s level ionization energy of 25 eV. Additional thresholds for both K and Cs atoms are observed at about 40 and 70 eV in ESD from layers adsorbed on an oxygen monolayer-covered molybdenum surface; they are associated with resonance processes involving Mo 4p and 4s excitations. The ESD energy distributions for K and Cs atoms consist of single peaks. The most probable kinetic energy of atoms decreases in going from cesium to potassium and with increasing adsorbed metal concentration; it lies in the energy range around 0.35 eV. The K and Cs atom ESD energy distributions from adlayers on an oxygen monolayer-covered molybdenum surface are extended toward very low kinetic energies. The data can be interpreted by means of the Auger stimulated desorption model, in which neutralization of adsorbed alkali-metal ions occurs after filling of holes created by incident electrons in the O 2s, Mo 4s or Mo 4p levels.

Doping dependence of the vortex glass and sublimation transitions in the high-T<Subscript>c</Subscript> superconductor La<Subscript>2-x</Subscript>Sr<Subscript>x</Subscript>CuO<Subscript>4</Subscript> as determined from macroscopic measurements

Magnetization and ac-susceptibility measurements are used to characterize the mixed phase of the high-temperature cuprate superconductor La_2-xSr_xCuO₄ over a large range of doping (0.075 0.20). The first order vortex lattice phase transition line H_FOT(T), the upper critical field H_c2(T) and the second peak H_sp(T) have been investigated up to high magnetic fields (8 Tesla applied perpendicular to the CuO₂ planes). Our results reveal a strong doping dependence of the magnetic phase diagram, which can mainly be explained by the increasing anisotropy with underdoping. Within our interpretation, the first order vortex lattice phase transition is due to the sublimation (rather than melting) of the vortex lattice into a gas of pancake vortices, whereas the second peak is related to the transition to a more disordered vortex glass state.     

Elemental and phase composition analysis of hydrogen-sensitive Pd/Mg–Ni films

A magnesium–nickel (Mg–Ni) film with a palladium (Pd) overcoat is switchable between a conducting metallic state and a semiconducting state through hydridation and dehydridation processes. The Pd overcoat is added to suppress possible oxidation of the alloy layer. However, some Pd and oxygen (O) atoms are still able to diffuse into the alloy layer, such that the distributions of elemental and phase compositions along the direction of depth are quite complicated. In this work, we propose a method to obtain more detailed information on the elemental and phase compositions in a Pd/Mg–Ni film by means of analyzing Pd 3d_5/2, Pd 3p_3/2, Ni 2p_3/2, Mg 1s and O 1s photoelectron spectra. The method was applied to analyze a typical Pd/Mg–Ni film sample. Results verified that Pd can diffuse into the alloy layer. An Mg–O phase is formed near the surface. An Mg–Ni alloy phase dominates at deeper regions. The Mg–Ni phase contains 80% of the total number of atoms in the film, and is non-stoichiometric and highly disordered. Nevertheless, it can give a remarkable change of electrical resistivity during hydridation–dehydridation processes. PACS 79.60.-i; 61.05.C-; 79.60.Ht
