体超导铟对一维锌超导纳米线超导电性的抑制效应

文章细致研究了超导体铟/一维锌超导纳米线阵列/超导体铟夹心结构的超导电性.实验发现, 当锌纳米线的长度在２—６μm、直径等于40nm时,　宏观尺寸的超导体铟电极对中间的锌纳米线的超导电性具有反常的抑制作用. 即当铟处在超导态时, 中间的锌纳米线则停留在正常态. 如果施加一个磁场,使超导体铟电极变为正常态, 锌纳米线则恢复其超导电性. 这种奇异的现象与超导电极材料的类型及锌纳米线的直径和长度有关.     

准一维纳米线电子输运的梯度无序效应

考虑实际体系的梯度无序和结散射,发展格林函数矩阵分解消元方法,研究了准一维纳米线的电子输运性质. 结果表明,由于结散射,电导随能量呈现振荡行为,无序的引入破坏了电子相干性,在低无序度区平均电导呈现异常增加,呈现一个新的电导峰. 当表面存在无序但无梯度衰减时,体系的平均电导随无序度增强先减后增,出现类局域-退局域性转变. 当表面无序线性衰减时,平均电导在强无序区稍有增加,而当表面无序高斯型衰减时,平均电导指数衰减,类局域-退局域性转变消失,不同于以前的理论预言. 研究结果对准一维纳米线电子器件的结构设计和应用有指导作用. 关键词： 准一维纳米线 梯度无序 电子输运

新型超导材料MgCNi3的电子结构与超导电性研究

用MS-Xα方法研究了非氧化物超导材料MgCNi3的电子结构.研究结果显示,态密度分布曲线的主峰靠近Fermi面,主要来自于Ni的d电子的贡献.用T(T=Co,Mn,Cu)替代MgCNi3中的部分Ni形成化合物MgCNi2T,替代使Ni的价电子数减小,价态发生变化,Fermi面处态密度N(EF)减小.计算结果表明:无论是电子掺杂(Cu)还是空穴掺杂(Co,Mn),MgCNi3的超导电性都被抑制;Mn掺杂比Co掺杂更快地抑制超导电性,Co是作为空穴掺杂而不是作为磁性杂质掺杂去抑制超导.

Suppression of superconductivity in zinc nanowires by bulk superconductors

Transport measurements were made on a system consisting of a zinc nanowire array sandwiched between two bulk superconducting electrodes (Sn or In). It was found that the superconductivity of Zn nanowires of 40 nm diameter is suppressed either completely or partially by the superconducting electrodes. When the electrodes are driven into their normal state by a magnetic field, the nanowires switch back to their superconducting state. This phenomenon is significantly weakened when one of the two superconducting electrodes is replaced by a normal metal. The phenomenon is not seen in wires with diameters equal to or thicker than 70 nm.     

On identical nature of the superconductivity mechanisms in 30 K and 90 K superconductors

A systematic study of Zn substitution in both lanthanum and yttrium-based oxide superconductors withT _cof 30 K and 90 K has been carried out simultaneously under identical conditions. Contrary to the general belief, the results indicate that the mechanism responsible for superconductivity in 30 K compounds is unlikely to be radically different from that of the 90 K compounds.     

Suppression of superconductivity in mesoscopic superconductors

We propose a new boundary-driven phase transition associated with vortex nucleation in mesoscopic superconductors (of size of the order of, or larger than, the penetration depth). We derive the rescaling equations and we show that boundary effects associated with vortex nucleation lower the conventional transition temperature in mesoscopic superconductors by an amount which is a function of the size of the superconductor. This result explains recent experiments in small superconductors where it was found that the transition temperature depends on the size of the system and is lower than the critical Berezinsk?-Kosterlitz-Thouless temperature.     

Possible higher temperature superconductivity in the modulation-doped superlattice structure of cuprate superconductors

We design a new structure for a cuprate superconductor indicating the possibility of higher temperature superconductivity using our recently proposed composite fermions theory. It is constructed with modulation-doped superlattice structures, which are often used in the design of semiconductor superlattice devices. The superconductive critical temperature ($T_c$) was calculated in the superlattice structures of the superconductor in which the optimal doped CuO₂ layer was sandwiched between two less-doped CuO₂ layers. We find that if these structures could be realized in a cuprate superconductor such as Bi₂Sr₂Ca₂Cu₃O₁₀ or HgBa₂Ca₂Cu₃O₉, the highest $T_c$ could attain the level of 300 K at atmospheric pressure.     

Unconventional superconductivity pairing induced by antiferromagnetic spin fluctuations in layered organic superconductors

The unconventional character of the superconductivity in organic compounds κ-(ET)₂X is ascribed to an antiferromagnetic spin fluctuation induced pairing. Since the band structure involves two bands (±), we assume that the large amplitude spin fluctuations arise from the band with the best nesting properties (band +), while superconductivity pairing occurs in the other band (-).We show that the nesting properties may mimic either a chemical pressure (deuterization) or a hydrostatic one. Indeed, a change of the nesting ratio t₁/t₂, according to our model, induces a modification of the Fermi surface topology. The spin fluctuations strength in the system is affected and consequently the calculated effective coupling constant of superconductivity for the even-parity singlet pairing channel. Our theory appears to be qualitatively consistent with major experimental reports.     

高温超导体电子结构和超导机理的角分辨光电子能谱研究

超导是一种奇异的宏观量子现象.100多年来,已发现的超导体主要分为两类:以金属或者合金为代表的常规超导体以及以铜氧化物和铁基高温超导体为代表的非常规超导体.常规超导体的超导机理能被BCS超导理论完美解释,但高温超导体的超导机理至今仍未达成共识,已经成为凝聚态物理领域中长期争论且充满挑战的重大科学问题.从实验上揭示非常规超导材料的微观电子结构,是理解其奇异正常态和超导电性机理、建立新理论的前提和基础.角分辨光电子能谱技术,由于可以实现对材料中电子的能量、动量和自旋的直接测量,在高温超导研究中发挥了重要的作用.本文综述了我们利用角分辨光电子能谱技术在铜氧化物和铁基高温超导体电子结构和超导机理研究中取得的一些进展,主要包括母体的电子结构、正常态的非费米液体行为、超导态的能带和超导能隙结构以及多体相互作用等.这些结果为理解铜氧化物和铁基高温超导体的物性及超导机理提供了重要的信息.

Carbon ion beam-induced variation in orientation of crystal planes of polycrystalline Zn nanowires

In the present work, polycrystalline Zn nanowires are synthesised within polymeric templates by the electrochemical deposition technique. Free-standing Zn nanowires with diameters 100, 200, 400 nm were synthesised on copper substrate acting as cathode, using this technique. The synthesised nanowires were irradiated with 40 MeV C⁴⁺ ion beam for various fluencies at Inter University Accelerator Centre, New Delhi, India. The effect of carbon ion beam on the grain size and preferred orientation of crystal planes of Zn nanowires were studied. The Rigaku X-ray diffractometer was used for X-ray diffraction (XRD) spectra of pristine and irradiated Zn nanowires. Post irradiation XRD analysis showed variation in the intensity of peaks, indicating the change in the orientation of crystal planes of the material. The preferred orientation of the crystal lattice planes in the polycrystalline material was found using texture analysis. To quantitatively investigate the degree of preferred orientations, the texture coefficients (TC) were calculated. The variation of TC was used to demonstrate the effect of irradiation on preferred orientation.
