Anisotropic superconducting properties of aligned SmLaFeAsOF microcrystalline powder
The SmLaFeAsOF compound is a quasi-2D
layered superconductor with a superconducting transition temperature T = 52
K. Due to the Fe spin-orbital related anisotropic exchange coupling
(antiferromagnetic or ferromagnetic fluctuation), the tetragonal
microcrystalline powder can be aligned at room temperature using the
field-rotation method where the tetragonal -plane is parallel to the
aligned magnetic field B and -axis along the rotation axis.
Anisotropic superconducting properties with anisotropic diamagnetic ratio
2.4 + 0.6 was observed from low field susceptibility
(T) and magnetization M(B). The anisotropic low-field phase diagram
with the variation of lower critical field gives a zero-temperature penetration
depth (0) = 280 nm and (0) = 120 nm. The magnetic
fluctuation used for powder alignment at 300 K may be related with the pairing
mechanism of superconductivity at lower temperature.Comment: 4 pages, 6 figure
Symmetry Constraints and the Electronic Structures of a Quantum Dot with Thirteen Electrons
The symmetry constraints imposing on the quantum states of a dot with 13
electrons has been investigated. Based on this study, the favorable structures
(FSs) of each state has been identified. Numerical calculations have been
performed to inspect the role played by the FSs. It was found that, if a
first-state has a remarkably competitive FS, this FS would be pursued and the
state would be crystal-like and have a specific core-ring structure associated
with the FS. The magic numbers are found to be closely related to the FSs.Comment: 13 pages, 5 figure
