通过对La_0.3Ca_0.7Mn_1-xW_xO₃(x=0.00，0.04，0.08，0.12，0.15)多晶样品M-T曲线、M-H曲线及ESR谱的测量，研究了Mn位W掺杂对电荷有序体系La_0.3Ca_0.7MnO₃磁结构的影响.结果表明，当掺杂量为0.00≤x≤0.08时，体系存在电荷有序(CO)相，AFM/CO态共存于相变温度以下，电荷有序温度T_CO随着W掺杂量的增加而增加；x＝0.04时，样品在低温下为FM相与AFM/CO相共存，在CO相建立前、后均有FM从PM中分离出来；当x≥0.12时，CO态融化，在极低温度下存在顺磁-铁磁(PM-FM)相变. 关键词： 磁结构 电荷有序 融化 Mn位掺杂     

掺杂对Ni51.5Mn25Ga23.5相变行为和磁性的影响

通过往母合金Ni_51.5Mn₂₅Ga_23.5掺入7种IVA, VA和VIA 过渡族元素得到系列掺杂合金Ni_51.5Mn₂₃M₂Ga_{23 .5}.M为掺杂元素.实验结果表明，掺杂效应一般引起马氏体相变温度的下降，其中，W 的掺杂是7种元素中唯一使相变温度升高的特例，且出现了中间马氏体相变.同时，在价电子 浓度不变的情况下，相变更敏感于原子的尺度效应.实验发现，Ti，Zr，Hf，V四种非磁性元 素的掺杂使Mn原子磁矩减小，而Nb，Ta，W三种非磁性元素的掺杂却可以明显地增大Mn原子 的磁矩.在考察掺杂效应时，不能忽略马氏体相变引起的晶格变化对材料磁性的影响. 关键词： NiMnGa 掺杂 马氏体相变 磁性

Subgap collective tunneling and its staircase structure in charge density waves

Tunneling spectra of chain materials NbSe3 and TaS3 were studied in nanoscale mesa devices. Current-voltage I-V characteristics related to all charge density waves (CDWs) reveal universal spectra within the normally forbidden region of low V, below the electronic CDW gap 2Delta. The tunneling always demonstrates a threshold Vt approximately 0.2Delta, followed, for both CDWs in NbSe3, by a staircase fine structure. T dependencies of Vt(T) and Delta(T) scale together for each CDW, while the low T values Vt(0) correlate with the CDWs' transition temperatures Tp. Fine structures of CDWs perfectly coincide when scaled along V/Delta. The results evidence the sequential entering of CDW vortices (dislocations) in the junction area with the tunneling current concentrated in their cores. The subgap tunneling proceeds via the phase channel: coherent phase slips at neighboring chains.     

Origin of charge density wave formation in insulators from a high resolution photoemission study of BaIrO3

We investigate the origin of charge density wave (CDW) formation in insulators by studying BaIrO3 using high-resolution (1.4 meV) photoemission spectroscopy. The spectra reveal the existence of localized density of states at the Fermi level, E(F), in the vicinity of room temperature. These localized states are found to vanish as the temperature is lowered, thereby, opening a soft gap at E(F), as a consequence of CDW transition. In addition, the energy dependence of the spectral density of states reveals the importance of magnetic interactions, rather than well-known Coulomb repulsion effect, in determining the electronic structure thereby implying a close relationship between ferromagnetism and CDW observed in this compound. Also, Ba core level spectra surprisingly exhibit an unusual behavior prior to CDW transition.     

Tri-hexagonal charge order in kagome metal CsV3Sb5 revealed by 121Sb nuclear quadrupole resonance

We report ¹²¹Sb nuclear quadrupole resonance(NQR)measurements on kagome superconductor CsV₃Sb₅ with Tc=2.5 K.¹²¹Sb NQR spectra split after a charge density wave(CDW)transition at 94 K,which demonstrates a commensurate CDW state.The coexistence of the high temperature phase and the CDW phase between 91 K and 94 K manifests that it is a first order phase transition.The CDW order exhibits tri-hexagonal deformation with a lateral shift between the adjacent kagome layers,which is consistent with 2×2×2 superlattice modulation.The superconducting state coexists with CDW order and shows a conventional s-wave behavior in the bulk state.     

Soliton analysis of the electro-optical response of blue bronze

In recent measurements on the charge-density-wave (CDW) conductor blue bronze (K_0.3MoO₃), the electro-transmittance and electro-reflectance spectra were searched for intragap states that could be associated with solitons created by injection of electrons into the CDW at the current contacts [Eur. Phys. J. B16 (2000), 295; Eur. Phys. J. B35 (2003) 233]. In this work, we adapt the model of soliton absorption in dimerized polyacetylene to the blue bronze results, to obtain the (order of magnitude) estimate that current induced solitons occur on less than ∼10% of the conducting chains. We discuss the implications of these results on models of soliton lifetimes and motion of CDW phase dislocations.     

S-Wave Superconductivity in Kagome Metal CsV_3Sb_5 Revealed by ~(121/123)Sb NQR and ~(51)V NMR Measurements

We report ~(121/123)Sb nuclear quadrupole resonance(NQR) and ~(51)V nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR) measurements on kagome metal CsV_3 Sb_5 with T_c=2.5 K.Both ~(51)V NMR spectra and ~(121/123)Sb NQR spectra split after a charge density wave(CDW) transition,which demonstrates a commensurate CDW state.The coexistence of the high temperature phase and the CDW phase between 91 K and 94 K manifests that it is a first-order phase transition.At low temperature,electric-field-gradient fluctuations diminish and magnetic fluctuations become dominant.Superconductivity emerges in the charge order state.Knight shift decreases and 1/T_1T shows a Hebel-Slichter coherence peak just below T_c,indicating that CSV_3 Sb_5 is an s-wave superconductor.     

On the Fröhlich charge density wave and Peierls transition

The exact solution of the system of nonlinear equations for Fröhlich charge density wave (CDW) in the continuum approximation is discussed, and the temperature behaviour of the CDW condensate is investigated in a framework of the mean-field approximation. It is shown that the CDW representation in the form of a conventional harmonic wave is only correct under certain conditions, namely, not too strong an electron-phonon interaction or not too low an electron density. According to the exact solution, the CDW is essentially a nonlinear wave represented by a harmonic series. This is confirmed by the experimental data on the CDW current oscillation spectra in which the overtones are present together with the principal harmonic (the so called “narrow band noise”). At strong enough electron-phonon coupling or at low enough electron density the CDW wave vector is temperature dependent, and the BCS relation between Peierls transition temperature and energetic gap in the electron spectra at zero temperature is violated.     

Electromodulated infrared transmission spectra of blue bronze

The infrared transmission of the quasi-one dimensional charge-density-wave (CDW) conductor blue bronze (K_0.3MoO₃) is affected by polarization of the CDW, and therefore by application of a voltage near or above the threshold for CDW depinning. In this paper, we compare the spectra associated with the relative change in transmission taken for different temperatures and oscillating voltages. We find that the phonon spectrum is affected by CDW polarization; the linewidths or frequencies of most phonons change by cm^-1. However, no new intragap states that can be associated with current injection are observed; i.e. the spectra associated with polarization of the CDW in the crystal bulk is identical to that associated with CDW current injection near the contacts. Our results indicate that, for light polarized perpendicular to the conducting chains, the density (n), cross-section , and bandwidth of intragap states are related by: n (?cm^-1)^-1. For expected values of the cross-section and bandwidth, this implies that the intragap states can be optically excited for a time less than s. Received 21 February 2000     

Optical properties of the charge-density-wave polychalcogenide compounds R 2Te 5 (R=Nd, Sm and Gd)

We investigate the rare-earth polychalcogenide R₂Te₅ (R=Nd, Sm and Gd) charge-density-wave (CDW) compounds by optical reflectivity measurements. We obtain the optical conductivity through Kramers-Kronig transformation of the reflectivity spectra. From the real part of the optical conductivity we then extract the excitation energy of the CDW gap and estimate the fraction of the Fermi surface which is gapped by the formation of the CDW condensate. In analogy to previous findings on the related RTe_n (n=2 and 3) families, we establish the progressive closing of the CDW gap and the moderate enhancement of the metallic component upon chemically compressing the lattice.     

Ultraviolet photoemission spectroscopy of (TaSe4)2I

The vacuum ultraviolet photoemission spectra of quasi-one-dimensional charge density wave ( CDW ) system, (TaSe₄)₂I, were measured for photon energies between 32 and 100 eV at room temperature ( in the normal phase ) and at about 100 K ( in the CDW phase ). The spectrum of Ta 4f core-levels has shown no additional splitting due to the two different Ta sites. The spectra of the valence and conduction bands have revealed the resonant enhancement for the excitation of the Ta 5p core states, which demonstrates the remarkable hybridization of Ta 5d orbitals with Se 4p orbitals with binding energies smaller than 4 eV. In the CDW phase, the partial cross section decreases for both Ta 5d bands and Se 4p bands with Ta 5d components.     

Electro-reflectance spectra of blue bronze

We show that the infrared reflectance of the quasi-one dimensional charge-density-wave (CDW) conductor K_0.3MoO₃ (blue bronze) varies with position when a voltage greater than the CDW depinning threshold is applied. The spatial dependence and spectra associated with these changes are generally as expected from the electro-transmission [B.M. Emerling, et al., Eur. Phys. J. B 16, 295 (2000)], but there are differences which might be associated with changes in the CDW properties on the surface. We have examined the electro-reflectance spectrum associated with CDW current investigation for light polarized parallel to the conducting chains for signs of expected current-induced intragap states, and conclude that the density of any such states is at least an order of magnitude less than expected.Received: 23 June 2003, Published online: 2 October 2003PACS: 71.45.Lr Charge-density-wave systems - 78.20.Jq Electrooptical effects - 72.15.Nj Collective modes (e.g., in one-dimensional conductors)
