IRREVERSIBILITY LINE AND THERMAL DEPINNING IN YBa2Cu3O7-δ

By measuring magnetic torque moment in a field-sweeping process, the temperature and field dependence of the critical current density j (with a criterion of electric field) and the normalized relaxation rate Q = d lnj/d ln E of a YBa₂Cu₃O_7-δ thin film were obtained. With a minimum current density (j_min = 10A·cm^-2) the irreversibility lines at different sweeping rates were determined. It was found that these irreversibility lines cannot be fitted to either the melting line or the vortex-glass transition. All the data can be interpreted by the thermally-assisted-flux-flow model. Further investigation shows that, at irreversible tem-perature and field, U_c is much smaller than k_BT, which indicates that the thermal depinning is the real origin of the irreversibility line.     

La掺杂Bi-2201单晶中宏观相分离迹象的发现及研究

在对系列Ｌａ 掺杂的Ｂｉ２Ｓｒ２ － ｘＬａｘＣｕＯ６ ＋ δ单晶的研究中,我们发现在极度Ｌａ 掺杂（ 空穴极度欠掺杂） 的样品中有高达３６Ｋ 的超导相出现．Ｘ 射线衍射图（ＸＲＤ） 和电镜照片都表明这种极度空穴欠掺的样品有很好的单相性,从而排除了样品化学不纯的可能．另外,对这种样品进行脱氧处理后,此超导电性相应消失,说明了这种高Ｔｃ 的超导电性是由活动性空穴掺杂引起的．虽然对相应样品在正常态的磁测量没有测出反铁磁峰（Ｎｅｅｌ 峰） ,但对系列样品的拉曼散射研究发现样品随着Ｌａ 含量的增多,其反铁磁交换作用明显加强．所以,我们认为这种高Ｔｃ 超导电性的出现是在Ｂｉ２２０１ 体系中存在宏观相分离的明显迹象     

新概念下的Sn掺杂(La1-xSrx)2Cu1-xSnxO4超导体的M(o)ssbauer谱研究

对新概念指导下而设计的(La1-xSrx)2Cu1-xSnxO4超导体进行了119SnM(o)ssbauer谱研究.对不同掺杂量样品的系统研究表明,M(o)ssbauer谱实验结果进一步证实了Sn以Sn4+价态存在并占据Cu晶位,不存在占据La晶位的Sn2+离子. Sn4+离子附近的局域晶格畸变较小,但是随Sn掺杂量有增加趋势.在对La2CuO4母体进行Sr和Sn同时掺杂所引入的载流子对超导电性的影响存在新的机制.在新的额外氧机制下,讨论了Sn掺杂所导致的额外氧对超导电性的影响.     

Quantized Conductance of Majorana Zero Mode in the Vortex of the Topological Superconductor(Li_(0.84)Fe_(0.16))OHFeSe

The Major ana zero mode(MZM), which manifests as an exotic neutral excitation in superconductors, is the building block of topological quantum computing. It has recently been found in the vortices of several iron-based superconductors as a zero-bias conductance peak in tunneling spectroscopy. In particular, a clean and robust MZM has been observed in the cores of free vortices in(Li_(0.84)Fe_(0.16))OHFeSe. Here using scanning tunneling spectroscopy, we demonstrate that Major ana-induced resonant Andreev reflection occurs between the STM tip and this zero-bias bound state,and consequently, the conductance at zero bias is quantized as 2e~2/h. Our results present a hallmark signature of the MZM in the vortex of an intrinsic topological superconductor, together with its intriguing behavior.

Effect of Mn substitution on superconductivity in iron selenide(Li,Fe)OHFeSe single crystals

We synthesize a series of Mn substituted(Li, Fe)OHFeSe superconductor single crystals via a modified ion-exchange method, with the Mn concentration z(the atomic ratio of Mn:Se) ranging from 0 to 0.07. The distribution homogeneity of the Mn element incorporated into the lattice of(Li, Fe)OHFeSe is checked by combined measurements of high-angleannular-dark-field(HAADF) imaging and electron energy-loss spectroscopy(EELS). Interestingly, we find that the superconducting transition temperature T_c and unit cell parameter c of the Mn-doped(Li, Fe)OHFeSe samples display similar V-shaped evolutions with the increasing dopant concentration z. We propose that, with increasing doping level, the Mn dopant first occupies the tetrahedral sites in the(Li, Fe)OH layers before starting to substitute the Fe element in the superconducting Fe Se layers, which accounts for the V-shaped change in cell parameter c. The observed positive correlation between the T_c and lattice parameter c, regardless of the Mn doping level z, indicates that a larger interlayer separation, or a weaker interlayer coupling, is essential for the high-T_c superconductivity in(Li, Fe)OHFeSe. This agrees with our previous observations on powder, single crystal, and film samples of(Li, Fe)OHFeSe superconductors.

重费米子超导体

美国《今日物理》1983年12期报道,美国科学家发现了第二个重费米子超导体UBe13.四年前西德科学家首次发现CeCu2Si2为重费米子超导休,引起了人们强烈兴趣.由于很难制备出符合化学配比的单相的CeCu2Si2,所以不同样品的性质有较大差别,测量的重复性也不太好.人们曾对重费米子超导体的存在有些担心.UBe13没有这种冶金学方面问题,同时应用新技术可获得高质量的CeCu2Si2晶体.因此人们就不应该再怀疑重费米子超导体的存在了. 什么是重费米子?测量结果表明,上述类型样品的电子有效质量非常高,高达自由电子质量的1000倍,这种具有极高有效质量的…
