Doping and temperature dependence of electronic Raman response in cuprate superconductors

The doping and temperature dependence of the electronic Raman response in cuprate superconductors is studied within the kinetic energy driven superconducting mechanism. It is shown that the temperature dependent depletion at low-energy shifts is faster in the B1g symmetry than in the B2g symmetry. In analogy to the domelike shape of the doping dependent superconducting transition temperature, the maximal peak energy in the B2g channel occurs around the optimal doping, and then decreases in both underdoped and overdoped regimes. Moreover, the overall density of Cooper pairs increases with increasing doping in the underdoped regime.     

Design and performance of a compact superconducting duplexer at VHF-band

This paper presents the design, fabrication, and performance of a compact high temperature superconducting duplexer at VHF-band. The duplexer consists of a T-junction and two four-pole filters with an ultra-narrow bandwidth of 400 kHz at 216 MHz and 220 MHz, respectively. By using gap-coupled feedlines in the filter design procedure, the duplexer is constructed by connecting the two filters using a T-junction with short-length branches. The two filters are fabricated on separate substrates and are carefully packaged to achieve a high isolation between the duplexer channels. The duplexer has a compact size of 41.6 mm × 28 mm. The measured results at 73 K show a high performance. The return loss is −17 dB, the insertion losses of both channels are less than 0.16 dB, and the out-of-band rejections are higher than 60 dB. The isolation between the two channels is better than 76 dB.

Anomalous High Pressure Properties in Fullerene Superconductors

Abstract

Correlations among lattice parameter, external pressure, and critical temperature T_c has been surveyed on fullerene superconductors with a wide range of lattice parameters and various valence states. The observed value of dT_c/dP for Na₂Rb_0.5Cs_0.5C₆₀ and Li₃CsC₆₀, having small interfullerene separations, is about a few times lager than that of K₃C₆₀. In contrast, small dT_c/dP values are found in fullerides with expanded unit cells, such as (NH₃)_xNaAA^?C₆₀ (A, A^? = K, Rb and Cs) and A₃Ba₃C₆₀. Interestingly, the chemical and physical pressure effects on T_c are considerably different in these fullerides with large interfullerene spacings. Our results suggest that the pressure dependence is scaled by an interfullerene distance when the interfullerene distances is small, but that this scaling fails when the unit cell is expanded.     

Hydrogen Intercalation in Potassium-C60

Abstract

Solid state ¹H NMR of (KH)₃C₆₀ was measured in the temperature range between ?80 and 60 °C. A doublet spectrum composed of main peak at ?7.0 ppm and shoulder peak at ～0 ppm was observed at room temperature. The negative chemical shift of the main peak indicates that hydrogen in (KH)₃C₆₀ exists as a hydride-like ion. The 60 °C spectrum became singlet at ?5.8 ppm due to motional narrowing.     

Negative differential conductance in nano-scale normal metal/superconductor/normal metal junctions featuring Fe1 + y Te1 − x Se x

Iron-based superconductors have been the subject of intensive study due to their high transition temperature and intriguing physical mechanisms. We describe a unique experimental approach to fabricate nano-scale normal metal/superconductor/normal metal junctions involving microcrystals of Fe₁ ?₊?_y Te₁ ?_??_x Se _x , for which we have observed a distinct phenomenon of negative differential conductance (NDC) dips along with multiple plateau features in differential conductance spectra. The evolution of the NDC dips and the plateau features is further explored as a function of both temperature and magnetic field, and their physical origin is discussed.     

Switching effects in superconductor/ferromagnet/superconductor graphene junctions

The Josephson effect in the superconductor/ferromagnet/superconductor （SFS） graphene Josephson junction is studied using the Dirac Bogoliubov-de Gennes （DBdG） formalism. It is shown that the SFS graphene junction drives 0–π transition with the increasing of p=h0L/vF？, which captures the effects of both the exchange field and the length of the junction; the spin-down current is dominant. The 0 state is stable for p 〈 pc （critical value pc ≈ 0.80） and the π state is stable for p 〉 pc, where the free energy minima are at φg=0 and φg=π, respectively. The coexistence of the 0 and π states appears in the vicinity of pc.     

Interplay between superconductivity and pseudogap state in bilayer cuprate superconductors

The interplay between the superconducting gap and normal-state pseudogap in the bilayer cuprate superconductors is studied based on the kinetic energy driven superconducting mechanism. It is shown that the charge carrier interaction directly from the interlayer coherent hopping in the kinetic energy by exchanging spin excitations does not provide the contribution to the normal-state pseudogap in the particle–hole channel and superconducting gap in the particle–particle channel, while only the charge carrier interaction directly from the intralayer hopping in the kinetic energy by exchanging spin excitations induces the normal-state pseudogap in the particle–hole channel and superconducting gap in the particle–particle channel, and then the two-gap behavior is a universal feature for the single layer and bilayer cuprate superconductors.
