Superconductivity of Lanthanum Superhydride Investigated Using the Standard Four-Probe Configuration under High Pressures

Recently,the theoretically predicted lanthanum superhydride,LaH_10±δ,with a clathrate-like structure was successfully synthesized and found to exhibit a record high superconducting transition temperature T_c≈250 K at～170 GPa,opening a new route for room-temperature superconductivity.However,since in situ experiments at megabar pressures are very challenging,few groups have reported the ～250 K superconducting transition in LaH_10±δ.Here,we establish a simpler sample-...     

Electronic Phase Separation in Iron Selenide(Li,Fe)OHFeSe Superconductor System

The phenomenon of phase separation into antiferromagnetic(AFM) and superconducting(SC) or normal-state regions has great implication for the origin of high-temperature(high-T_c) superconductivity. However, the occurrence of an intrinsic antiferromagnetism above the T_c of(Li,Fe)OHFe Se superconductor is questioned. Here we report a systematic study on a series of(Li,Fe)OHFe Se single crystal samples with T_c up to ～41 K. We observe an evident drop in the static magnetization at T_(afm) ～ 125 K, in some of the SC(T_c 38 K, cell parameter c■9.27 ?) and non-SC samples. We verify that this AFM signal is intrinsic to(Li,Fe)OHFe Se. Thus, our observations indicate mesoscopic-to-macroscopic coexistence of an AFM state with the normal(below T_(afm)) or SC(below T_c) state in(Li,Fe)OHFe Se. We explain such coexistence by electronic phase separation, similar to that in high-T_c cuprates and iron arsenides. However, such an AFM signal can be absent in some other samples of(Li,Fe)OHFe Se, particularly it is never observed in the SC samples of T_c 38 K, owing to a spatial scale of the phase separation too small for the macroscopic magnetic probe. For this case, we propose a microscopic electronic phase separation. The occurrence of two-dimensional AFM spin fluctuations below nearly the same temperature as T_(afm), reported previously for a(Li,Fe)OHFe Se(T_c ～ 42 K) single crystal, suggests that the microscopic static phase separation reaches vanishing point in high T_c(Li,Fe)OHFe Se. A complete phase diagram is thus established. Our study provides key information of the underlying physics for high-T_c superconductivity.

PHASE SEPARATION AND JOSEPHSON-COUPLING ORIGIN FOR THE ANOMALOUS Hc2 BEHAVIOR IN OVERDOPED Bi2Sr2-xLaxCuO6+δ CRYSTALS

Hole-overdoped Bi₂Sr_2-xLa_xCuO_6+δ single crystals with two coexistent superconducting transitions have been intensively studied by measuring the dc magnetic susceptibility. It is found that the coexistence of these two phases cannot be attributed to any chemical or vortex dynamical effect but to some intrinsic driving force, such as the electronic-driven phase separation. Furthermore, the upper critical fields of the two phases behave in a rather different way; that is, one of them shows a "normal H_c2 behavior" which can be described by the critical fluctuation theory, while the other exhibits an "anomalous H_c2 behavior" and can be well explained by a recent theory based on an assumption of a Josephson-coupling origin, indicating a strong evidence of Josephson-coupling origin for the upward curvature of the so-called H_c2 in high T_c superconductors.

Quantized Conductance of Majorana Zero Mode in the Vortex of the Topological Superconductor(Li_(0.84)Fe_(0.16))OHFeSe

The Major ana zero mode(MZM), which manifests as an exotic neutral excitation in superconductors, is the building block of topological quantum computing. It has recently been found in the vortices of several iron-based superconductors as a zero-bias conductance peak in tunneling spectroscopy. In particular, a clean and robust MZM has been observed in the cores of free vortices in(Li_(0.84)Fe_(0.16))OHFeSe. Here using scanning tunneling spectroscopy, we demonstrate that Major ana-induced resonant Andreev reflection occurs between the STM tip and this zero-bias bound state,and consequently, the conductance at zero bias is quantized as 2e~2/h. Our results present a hallmark signature of the MZM in the vortex of an intrinsic topological superconductor, together with its intriguing behavior.

磁性Gd3+离子对Chevrel相超导体PbMo6S8的临界电流和输运性质的影响

采用高温固态反应和均衡热压方法相结合,我们制备了一系列Gd掺杂的Chevrel相GdxPb1-xMo6S8超导样品.为了研究掺入的磁性Gd3+离子对于磁通线的钉扎作用和对临界电流及其它性质的影响,我们系统地测量了样品的电阻率,热电势,比热和临界电流密度.同时,我们计算了磁性Gd3+离子与磁通线之间的相互作用和这种作用可能导致的磁通钉扎及对临界电流的影响,并与实验结果进行了比较.结果显示除非Gd3+离子的分布是非常不均匀的,Gd3+离子所引起的钉扎是不重要的.另一方面,热电势和电阻率等输运性质及比热的结果显示由于Gd3+取代了Pb2+使载流子浓度降低了.载流子浓度的降低进而引起其它超导参数如热力学临界场Bc的变化,导致钉扎势的减小,最终降低了临界电流.
