Nonlinear uniaxial pressure dependence of the resistivity in Sr_(1-x)Ba_xFe_(1.97)Ni_(0.03)As_2

Nematic order and its fluctuations have been widely found in iron-based superconductors. Above the nematic order transition temperature, the resistivity shows a linear relationship with the uniaxial pressure or strain along the nematic direction and the normalized slope is thought to be associated with nematic susceptibility. Here we systematically studied the uniaxial pressure dependence of the resistivity in Sr_(1-x)Ba_xFe_(1.97)Ni_(0.03)As_2, where nonlinear behaviors are observed near the nematic transition temperature. We show that it can be well explained by the Landau theory for the second-order phase transitions considering that the external field is not zero. The effect of the coupling between the isotropic and nematic channels is shown to be negligible. Moreover, our results suggest that the nature of the magnetic and nematic transitions in Sr_(1-x)Ba_xFe_2As_2 is determined by the strength of the magnetic-elastic coupling.     

铁基超导体中的反铁磁序和自旋动力学

类似于其他非常规超导材料,铁基高温超导电性通常出现在静态长程反铁磁序被抑制之后,并且强烈的自旋涨落始终与超导电性相伴相生,因此理解磁性相互作用是建立铁基超导微观机理的重要前提.中子散射作为研究凝聚态物质中磁性相互作用的有力工具,在揭示铁基超导电性的磁性起源方面起到了关键作用.本文系统总结了近十年来铁基超导材料的中子散射研究结果,包括铁基超导材料中的静态磁结构、磁性相变、动态磁激发、电子向列相等,并探讨它们与超导电性之间的关系.
