Physical properties of titanates,semiconductors and nickelates derived from ionization energy theory

Ionization energy theory is exploited to predict the changes to atomic polarizability for both anions and cations, the polarization in doped titanates and the energy gap in III–V and II–VI semiconductors. We then extend the above analysis to discuss the physics of metallic and superconducting phases in the recently discovered superconducting nickelates. In doing so, we are able to prove the existence of Ni²⁺ cations and oxygen vacancy in the metallic normal state of nickelates. We find that the normal state resistivity of the nickelates follows exactly as predicted by the ionization energy theory. Quantitative estimates are also given for the concentrations of Ni²⁺ and oxygen vacancy in superconducting nickelates.

Majorana zero modes induced by skyrmion lattice

One-dimensional s-wave superconductor with spin-orbit coupling is a platform for the realization of Majorana zero modes. The spin-exchange with the magnetic skyrmion lattice can induce spin-orbit coupling in a s-wave superconductor system and the effects are different from the constant spin-orbit coupling. The strength of the effective spin-orbit coupling as well as the rich topoloigcal phase diagram are directly connected to the radius of the skyrmion lattice R. We obtain the rich topological phase diagram of this system with different skyrmion lattice radii by numerically evaluating the spectrum of the system under the periodic boundary condition, and we also find the Majorana zero modes under the open boundary condition to verify the bulk-edge correspondence.

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

The far-infrared optical reflectivity of an optimally 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 cm-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 continuously 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 observations indicate that the structural and magnetic phase transition might be completely suppressed by chemical doping in the optimally doped Ba0.6K0.4Fe2As2 compound.

Development of Oxidation Sources in Preparation of High-Tc Oxide Superconductor Thin Films Using the Molecular Beam Epitaxy Method

Film preparation of oxide superconductors, mainly of the 1-2-3 (RBa₂Cu₃O_x) and Bi-containing (Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-O) systems, by evaporation of either metals or metal compounds by low pressure is summarized, with a particular focus on the development of oxidation sources essential to the technique. Oxidizing reagents that enable the oxidation of metal evaporates to take place in high (0·1 to 10_?3 Pa) or even ultra-high (<10_?5 Pa) vacuum are summarized using the experiments of those who tried to apply the molecular beam epitaxy method to atomically controlled fabrication of thin films of the material, especially for device processing. The evaporation in various kinds of oxidizing atmosphere, including the simple method of in situ annealing of the metal layers in oxygen to the more advanced in situ preparation of the films with strong oxidizing reagents such as atomic oxygen, ozone, nitric oxide, etc. along with the thermochemistry of the oxidation of metals by low pressure with these reagents is reviewed.

Charge stripe structure in FeTe

We report the STM study on a single-crystalline sample of FeTe at 7.8 K. FeTe is one of the iron-based superconductor. We measured the resistivity and the magnetization of FeTe. FeTe shows SDW transition at 58 K on these measurements. We study the electronic state of FeTe by using STM/STS for observing FeTe from a microscopic viewpoint. We observed the iron layer and the tellurium layer with atomic resolution. Moreover, we discover the charge stripe structure on STM/STS measurement. We find the charge stripe structure is caused by iron atoms from the analysis. The gap structure of 9 meV was observed in tunneling spectra. This gap size is consistent with the SDW gap which is expected from mean field theory with T_N=58 K.
