Zn掺杂La2CuO4热电势和磁化率研究

测量了La2CuO4掺Zn样品在不同降温速率下(330K保温05h,然后分别以6Kh,02Ks的速度降到8K)的直流磁化率和热电势.实验结果表明,反铁磁温度TN不随降温速率变化而变化,其直流磁化率也未受很大影响.高温热电势弱的温度依赖关系表明为极化子气体的贡献.热电势在转折温度Tdrop之下的快速降低是由于二维反铁磁涨落的贡献.热电势在更低温度的拐点TS与载流子的局域化有关.降温速率变化时,Tdrop和TS都有明显的变化.Zn掺杂对Tdrop和TS没有明显影响,但导致了更强的载流子局域化.讨论了上述现象产生的物理图像 关键词： La2CuO4 直流磁化率 热电势

Study on the in—plane electrical resistivity and thermoelectric power in single crystals of La2—xBaxCuO4

The in-plane electrical resistivity and thermoelectric power have been measured on single crystals of La_2-xBa_xCuO₄ at around x=0.125. The room temperature resistivity and thermopower have their maximum values at x=0.125, indicating that the carrier concentration is the minimum and the carriers are most strongly localized at x=0.125. The observed semiconductor-like behaviour can be well described by the weak-localized quasi-two-dimensional state. The steep rise in electric resistivity of the sample at x=0.125 below 70K is attributed to the formation of static stripe-order of holes and spins, which are pinned by the low-temperature tetragonal (LTT) structure, as discovered in La_1.48Nd_0.4Sr_0.12CuO₄. The temperature dependence of electric resistivity below 70K is still well described by the formula ρ∝ lnT. A definite change in the slope of thermopower is observed at the low-temperature orthorhombic-LTT structural phase transition temperature. The origin of the 1/8 anomaly is discussed in the text.     

The nature of 4f electron magnetism in the diluted ferromagnetic Kondo lattice, CeIr2B2

We report on the physical properties of the series Ce(1-x)La(x)Ir(2)B(2) (x = 0-0.9), obtained by means of magnetization, heat capacity and electrical resistivity measurements as a function of temperature (down to 0.7 K for the latter two measurements). The Curie temperature of CeIr(2)B(2) (~5 K) is lowered due to La substitution, as expected. However, no quantum critical point or 'non-Fermi liquid' behavior was observed even in the dilute limit of x = 0.9. Interestingly, ferromagnetic ordering persists even for Ce(0.1)La(0.9)Ir(2)B(2), below 0.8 K. Among the Ce systems, CeIr(2)B(2) is one of the compounds in which direct 4f-4f interaction does not appear to play any role in the magnetism, which is controlled by the indirect exchange interaction alone. In this compound, the Kondo effect persists in the ferromagnetic ordered state, as inferred from the entropy data.     

Transport properties in single phase superconductor Ba2YCu3O9-δ

The electrical resistivity and the thermopower are measured on the single phase superconductor Ba₂YCu₃O₉-δ (δ=2.1). The results indicate that the temperature dependences of the resistance and thermopower exhibit typical metallic behaviour, and the sample conducts via electrons at high temperatures. The behaviour of the thermopower can be described with Mott's semi-classical model. The specific heat of electrons in normal state has been estimated 780mJ/K·mole at 200K, i.e. γ=3.9mJ/K²·mole. Unusual phonon-drag effect is observed above the superconducting transition temperature T_c. Below T_c, the electrical resistivity and the thermopower all drop to zero corresponding to a superconducting ground state.     

The transport properties in Nd0.75Sr1.25CoO4 film: Evidence for polaronic transport

The experiments of electrical resistivity and thermopower on Nd_0.75Sr_1.25CoO₄ film in the temperature range 90 K<T<310 K were carried out. The great difference in the activation energies estimated from thermopower and resistivity, a characteristic of small polarons, is observed, providing strong evidence for polaron-dominated transport mechanism in this material. Furthermore, the activation energy at intermediate-temperature region is larger than that at low-temperature region in resistivity, but it is not observed in thermopower, indicating that the energy for the creation of the carriers is slightly lower at low-temperature region than that at intermediate-temperature region. At the same time, the abrupt drop in the thermopower and the abnormal peak in the differential curve of resistivity indicate that a phase transition between a paramagnetic state and a ferromagnetic state occurs at temperature about 218 K. The positive thermopower in the whole temperature range measured suggests that the carriers are holes in this system.     

Heavy fermion behaviour of the nonmagnetic CeCu4Al compound

We present measurements of the temperature dependence of the electrical resistivity, the thermopower and the specific heat of the hexagonal compound CeCu₄Al. At high temperatures, the electrical resistivity is characterized by a nearly temperature independent behaviour, followed by a continuous increase below 100K. No maximum has been found down to 1.7 K. The thermopower shows a positive maximum at about 30 K. As in CeCu₆ no negative values are observable in the range from 4.2 K up to a room temperature. The specific heat data between 7 and 15 K reveal a γ value around 280 mJ mol^-1 K^-2. Below this temperature range the specific heat c_p/T shows a rapid rise and crosses the value of 1 J mol^-1 K^-2 at about 1.45 K.     

Ultrasonic Study on Jahn-Teller Distortions in La1=3Sr2=3CoO3

The angular magnetothermoelectric power of a charge density wave system

The angular dependence of the magnetothermopower of a charge transfer organic salt α-(ET)(2)KHg(SCN)(4) below (4 K) and above (9 K) the phase transition temperature, T(p) = 8 K, and under fields of 15 T and 25 T, below and above the 'kinkfield', has been studied. We find that for a longitudinal thermoelectric measurement both an interlayer thermopower (the Seebeck effect), S(zz), and a transverse thermopower (the Nernst effect), S(yz), exist in all three different B-T phases (the CDW (0), CDW (x) and metallic states) with large amplitude. Both thermoelectric effects display a resonant-like behavior without a sign reversal at the angles corresponding to angular magnetoresistance oscillation minima and maxima in this compound. The resonant behavior is most evident in the CDW(0) state, indicating a mechanism involving the Fermi surface nesting. Angular dependences reveal different behaviors of the thermopower and Nernst effect in the high magnetic field (CDW(x)) state.     

Kinetic effects in manganites La1 − x Ag y MnO3 (y ≤ x)

We have measured the resistivity, magnetoresistance, and thermopower of ceramic manganite samples La_{1 ? x} Ag _y MnO₃ (y ≤ x) doped with silver as functions of temperature (4.2–350 K) and magnetic field (up to 26 kOe). A metal-insulator phase transition is observed in all investigated samples at temperatures close to room temperature. The behavior of the resistivity and thermopower in the high-temperature paramagnetic region is interpreted using the concept of small radius polaron; the activation energy decreases with increasing doping level. The resistivity in the low-temperature ferromagnetic region is approximated by the expression ρ_FM(T) = ρ₀ + AT ² + BT ^4.5 presuming the existence of electron-electron and electron-magnon interactions. A resistivity minimum and a strong magnetoresistive effect are observed at low temperatures. The latter effect is associated with scattering of charge carriers at grain boundaries, which are antiferromagnetically ordered relative to one another. The temperature dependence of thermopower in the magnetically ordered phase is described in the framework of a model taking into account the drag of charge carriers by magnons.     

Charge order, metallic behavior, and superconductivity in La2-xBaxCuO4 with x=1/8

The ab-plane optical properties of a cleaved single crystal of La2-xBaxCuO4 for x=1/8 (Tc approximately =2.4 K) have been measured over a wide frequency and temperature range. The low-frequency conductivity is Drude-like and shows a metallic response with decreasing temperature. However, below approximately =60 K, corresponding to the onset of charge-stripe order, there is a rapid loss of spectral weight below about 40 meV. The behavior is quite different from that typically associated with the pseudogap in the normal state of the cuprates. Instead, the gapping of the normal-state single-particle excitations looks surprisingly similar to that observed in superconducting La2-xSrxCuO4, including the presence of a residual Drude peak with reduced weight.
