Upper Critical Fields and Anisotropy of BaFe1.9Ni0.1As2 Single Crystals

Temperature dependence of the upper critical magnetic field （Hc2） near Tc of 20 K in a BaFe1.9 Ni0.1 As2 single crystal is determined via magneto-resistance measurements, for the out-plane （H ⊥ab） and in-plane （H ｜｜ ab） directions in magnetic fields of up to 8 T. The upper critical fields at zero temperature estimated by the Werthamer-Helfand- Hohenberg （WHH） formula are μ0H^｜｜ c2（0） = 137 T and μ0H⊥c2（0） = 51 T, both exceeding the weak-coupling Pauli paramagnetic limit （μ0Hp = 1.84Tc）. However, the WHH formula could overestimate the μ0H^｜｜12（0） value. The anisotropy of upper critical fields is around 3 in the temperature range close to Tc. The result is very similar to the Co-doped 122 superconductor BaFe2-x Cox As2, indicating that electron-doped 122 superconductors exhibit similar superconducting properties.     

铁基超导体的输运性质

在铁基超导体中存在着多种有序态,例如电子向列相和自旋密度波等,从而呈现出丰富的物理现象.输运性质的测量能为认识铁基超导体的低能激发提供极为有用的信息.铁砷超导体由于其电子结构的多能带特性,其电阻率和霍尔系数与温度的关系出现多样性的变化,但在正常态并没有看到有类似铜氧化物超导体的赝能隙打开等奇异行为.在空穴型掺杂的铁基超导体中观测到霍尔系数在低温下变号,对应温区的电阻率上出现一个很宽的鼓包等,可能是从非相干到相干态的转变.热电势行为也表现出与铜氧化物超导体的明显差异,比如铁基超导体的正常态热电势的绝对值反而在最佳掺杂区是最大的,这也许跟强的带间散射有关.能斯特效应表明铁基超导体在Tc以上的超导位相涨落并不明显,与铜氧化物超导体存在明显差别.在铁基超导体上所显示出来的这些反常热电性质,并没有在类似结构的镍基超导体(如LaNiAsO)上观测到,镍基超导体表现得更像一个通常的金属.这些均说明铁基超导体的奇异输运性质与其高温超导电性存在内在的关联,这些因素是建立其超导机理时需要考虑进去的.

Superconductivity and Transport Properties in Th and F Codoped Sm1-xThxFeAsO1-yFy

A series of Th and F co-doped superconductors Sm1-xThxFeAsO1-yFy are synthesized and the variation of superconductivity with the doping level is investigated. At the fixed Th doping level x = 0.1, the superconducting transition temperature Tc increases monotonically with F content, and finally Tc reaches a maximum of about 55K around y = 0.1, and saturates for even more F content the normal state thermopower increases monotonically with ＇overdoped＇ regime is not observed and possible explanation （y = 0.15）. Similar to the SmFeAsO1-y Fy system, the doping level. However the decrease of Tc in the is discussed.     

Effect of magnetic field on the spin-Peierls transition in single-crystal CuGeO

This paper reports that high quality CuGeO3 single crystals were successfully grown by floating-zone technique and the magnetic property was studied. The temperature dependence of magnetic susceptibility below the spin-Peierls （SP） transition temperature （Tsp） under magnetic fields applying along both the a- and c-axis direction can be fitted well by a model of noninteracting dimmers. The spin gap derived from the fitting is consistent with other reports. There is a very weak anisotropy in the fitting parameters for different directions, which should be expected from a SP system. A small upturn in susceptibility at low temperature due to paramagnetic impurities and/or defects can be observed. A suppression of the upturn by magnetic field is first discovered in this system and the possible origins for this suppression are discussed.
