Tl_2Ba_2CaCu_2O_(8+δ)薄膜在超导凝聚过程中低频区的电磁响应

研究了Tl2Ba2CaCu2O8+δ/LaAlO3单晶薄膜的ab平面内电子在超导凝聚过程中的行为,薄膜厚度为3000,转变温度Tc=96K。在凝聚过程中,阻抗谱z(ω,T0)变化剧烈。谱线随温度的变化规律与浅超导区直流压制下的阻抗谱极为相似。随着超导凝聚的加强,谱重从高频区进一步向低频区转移并且导致直流极限下的发散。通过分析,得出超导相变对应了"超流电子岛"从出现到扩大并最终连成"整片超导大陆"这样的过程。我们还测试了薄膜载流下的阻抗谱z(ω,B0),观测到临界电流密度随着超导凝聚的进行而增大。

一种新型可协调绿色荧光材料BaAl2Si2O8∶Tb3+,Ce3+的发光性质与能量传递

采用高温固相法制备了BaAl2Si2O8∶Tb3+,Ce3+系列的荧光材料,讨论了Tb3+,Ce3+单掺及Tb3+,Ce3+共掺样品的光谱性质及发光机理,分析了Ce3+与Tb3+之间的能量传递过程.通过对样品进行XRD,荧光光谱,色坐标等测试.结果表明,Tb3+,Ce3+的掺杂没有改变BaAl2Si2O8晶体的结构.BaAl2Si2O8∶Tb3+发出明亮的绿光,发光峰分别位于487,545,583和621 nm对应于Tb3+的5D4→7FJ(J=6,5,4,3)特征发射.Ce3+的掺入没有改变BaAl2Si2O8∶Tb3+发射光谱的位置,但使其激发谱由窄带激发变成了宽带激发增加了谱带多样性,发光强度有了明显的增强,而且颜色也具有一定的协调性,使其在实际运用方面具有更大的灵活性.发光强度增强的原因不仅仅是因为Ce3+的敏化作用,还与Ce3+和Tb3+之间存在能量传递有密切关系.通过猝灭法计算了,Ce3+与Tb3+之间的能量传递的临界距离为15.345 nm,并且证明了能量传递是由偶极-偶极相互作用产生的.通过计算得到能量传递效率最高达到了76.04%.     

长余辉材料Sr_2MgSi_2O_7∶Eu~(2+),Dy~(3+)中稀土离子的发光特性

利用同步辐射光源(德国HASYLAB实验室的SUPERLUMI实验站)和真空紫外激光(157.6nm)对新型蓝光发射长余辉材料Sr2MgSi2O7∶Eu2 (0·2%),Dy3 (8%)进行了光谱研究。在170nm同步辐射光源激发下,观察到对应Eu2 :5d-4f跃迁的477nm发射带和对应Dy3 :4f-4f跃迁的两组线谱发射,其中只有来自Eu2 的5d-4f发射对长余辉光谱有贡献。在157.6nm激光激发下,除了上述发射外,还明显观察到对应Eu3 的红色线谱(590,614,626nm)。结合这些光谱特性,对Sr2MgSi2O7∶Eu2 ,Dy3 中稀土离子的发光特性以及长余辉发光机理进行了讨论,并提出了Eu2 充当空穴陷阱的可能性。     

一种新型蓝光BaKBP2O8:Eu2+荧光粉的合成与性能研究

通过高温固相法成功合成了一种新型蓝光荧光粉BaKBP₂O₈:Eu²⁺,分别用XRD和荧光光谱表征了其结构与光学性能。结果表明,Eu²⁺的引入并没有显著改变其四方相的晶体结构。样品的激发光谱(监测波长为443 nm)是由主晶格吸收的307 nm吸收肩与Eu²⁺离子4f⁷-4f⁶5d 跃迁的346 nm主峰组成。在紫光激发下,样品的发射光谱为蓝色。当Eu²⁺离子摩尔分数为0.03时,样品的发射强度达到最大值。然而,随着Eu²⁺浓度的进一步增加,由于浓度猝灭机制,其发射强度开始降低。在超过370 K的温度下,荧光粉样品的相对发光强度仍然超过50%。BaKBP₂O₈:Eu²⁺的色坐标为(0.176 6,0.168 1)。     

纳米微粒BaFe12O19掺杂对单畴超导块材GdBa2Cu3O7-δ性能的影响

Dispersion of neutron spin resonance mode in Ba0.67K0.33Fe2As2

We report an inelastic neutron scattering investigation on the spin resonance mode in the optimally hole-doped iron-based superconductor Ba_0.67K_0.33Fe₂As₂ with T_c=38.2 K. Although the resonance is nearly two-dimensional with peak energy E_R≈14 meV, it splits into two incommensurate peaks along the longitudinal direction ([H, 0, 0]) and shows an upward dispersion persisting to 26 meV. Such dispersion breaks through the limit of total superconducting gaps ∆_tot=|∆_k|+|∆_k+Q|(about 11-17 meV) on nested Fermi surfaces measured by high resolution angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES). These results cannot be fully understood by the magnetic exciton scenario under s^±-pairing symmetry of superconductivity, and suggest that the spin resonance may not be restricted by the superconducting gaps in the multi-band systems.     

Josephson vortices and intrinsic Josephson junctions in the layered iron-based superconductor Ca10(Pt3As8)((Fe0.9Pt0.1)2As2)5

Modulated electronic state due to the layered crystal structures brings about moderate anisotropy of superconductivity in the iron-based superconductors and thus Abrikosov vortices are expected in the mixed state. However, based on the angular and temperature dependent transport measurements in iron-based superconductor Ca$_{10}$(Pt$_3$As$_8$)((Fe$_{0.9}$Pt$_{0.1}$)$_2$As$_2$)$_5$ with $T_{\rm c} \simeq 12$ K, we find clear evidences of a crossover from Abrikosov vortices to Josephson vortices at a crossover temperature $T^{\star} \simeq 7 $ K, when the applied magnetic field is parallel to the superconducting FeAs layers, i.e., the angle between the magnetic field and the FeAs layers $\theta = 0^\circ$. This crossover to Josephson vortices is demonstrated by an abnormal decrease (increase) of the critical current (flux-flow resistance) below $T^{\star}$, in contrast to the increase (decrease) of the critical current (flux-flow resistance) above $T^{\star}$ expected for Abrikosov vortices. Furthermore, when $\theta$ is larger than $0.5^\circ$, the flux-flow resistance and critical current have no anomalous behaviors across $T^{\star}$. These anomalous behaviors can be understood in terms of the distinct transition from the well-pinned Abrikosov vortices to the weakly-pinned Josephson vortices upon cooling, when the coherent length perpendicular to the FeAs layers $\xi_\bot$ becomes shorter than half of the interlayer distance $d/2$. These experimental findings indicate the existence of intrinsic Josephson junctions below $T^{\star}$ and thus quasi-two-dimensional superconductivity in Ca$_{10}$(Pt$_3$As$_8$)((Fe$_{0.9}$Pt$_{0.1}$)$_2$As$_2$)$_5$, similar to those in the cuprate superconductors.     

Evolution of the 251 cm-1 temperature in infrared phonon mode with Ba0.6K0.4Fe2As2

The far-infrared optical reflectivity of an optimaUy doped Ba1-xKxFe2As2 （x = 0.4） single crystal is measured from room temperature down to 4 K. We study the temperature dependence of the in-plane infrared-active phonon at 251 em-1. This phonon exhibits a symmetric line shape in the optical conductivity, suggesting that the coupling between the phonon and the electronic background is weak. Upon cooling down, the frequency of this phonon continu- ously increases, following the conventional temperature dependence expected in the absence of a structural or magnetic transition. The intensity of this phonon is temperature independent within the measurement accuracy. These observa- tions indicate that the structural and magnetic phase transition might be completely suppressed by chemical doping in the optimally doped Bao.6Ko.4Fe2As2 compound.     

Physical insight of superconductivity of Nb2AlC: in situ Raman spectrometry investigation

Superconductivity of Nb₂AlC has been previously reported, but the origin is not clear. In this paper, in situ Raman spectra of Nb₂AlC are measured in the temperature range from 80 to 380 K at ambient pressure. The line‐width of E_2g (ω₁) mode increases with temperature which originates from the anharmonic phonon–phonon scattering. On the contrary the line‐widths of E_2g (ω₂) and A_1g (ω₄) modes decrease continuously at elevated temperature. The phenomenon is explained by the electron–phonon coupling. The origin of superconductivity is therefore interpreted by the coupling of Nb 4d electrons with E_2g (ω₂) and A_1g (ω₄) phonon modes. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Prediction of superconductivity of Ta2AlC: in situ Raman spectrometry and density functional investigations

In this paper, in situ Raman spectra of Ta₂AlC are measured in the temperature range of 80–500 K at ambient pressure. The frequencies of the Raman modes decrease with increasing temperature, which have been explained by the anharmonic and thermal expansion effects. The line‐width of E_2g (ω₃) mode increases at elevated temperatures, which is found to be due to the anharmonic phonon–phonon scatterings. On the other hand, the line‐widths of E_2g (ω₁) and A_1g (ω₄) modes decrease continuously with increasing temperature, which is explained by the electron–phonon couplings of these two phonon modes with the Ta 5d electrons. The electron–phonon coupling strengths are obtained both in experiments and density functional calculations. Finally, Ta₂AlC is predicted to be a new superconductive MAX phase.

Fe and Co selective substitution in Ni2MnGa: Effect of magnetism on relative phase stability

We studied the effect of selective substitution in Fe and Co 3d elements on the structural and magnetic phase transitions in the prototypical magnetic shape memory alloy Ni–Mn–Ga. We determined the phase diagram for each elemental doping substitution by means of calorimetry and ac susceptibility measurements. An effort was made to substitute each constituent element by the same amounts of doping and to study the role of parameters other than electronic concentration in controlling phase stability. Specifically, selective doping with atoms of similar atomic radii but different magnetic properties allowed us to investigate the role of magnetic interactions on the relative phase stability of the ternary compound. We determined the entropy change associated with the martensitic transition for each quaternary alloy to obtain further information on the effect of magnetism on the relative stability of the involved phases exhibited by these compounds.     

Evidence for superconductivity in fluorinated La2CuO4 at 35 K: Microwave investigations

X-ray study of the low-temperature phase transition in K2CoCl4

Precise lattice parameter measurements and intensity measurements of selected main and satellite reflections of K₂CoCl₄ have been performed in the temperature range 100 to 300 K in the vicinity of the low-temperature phase transition (commensurate-commensurate phase transition, T _c = 142 K). A broadening of the FWHM for the h01 reflections was observed below 142 K which suggests a transition from an orthorhombic phase to a monoclinic phase.
