Robust nodal superconductivity induced by isovalent doping in Ba(FeRu)As and BaFe(AsP)
We present the ultra-low-temperature heat transport study of iron-based
superconductors Ba(FeRu)As and
BaFe(AsP). For optimally doped
Ba(FeRu)As, a large residual linear term
at zero field and a dependence of are observed,
which provide strong evidences for nodes in the superconducting gap. This
result demonstrates that the isovalent Ru doping can also induce nodal
superconductivity, as P does in BaFe(AsP).
Furthermore, in underdoped Ba(FeRu)As and heavily
underdoped BaFe(AsP), manifests similar
nodal behavior, which shows the robustness of nodal superconductivity in the
underdoped regime and puts constraint on theoretical models.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figures - with two underdoped samples added, this paper

Oxide two-dimensional electron gas with high mobility at room-temperature
The prospect of 2‐dimensional electron gases (2DEGs) possessing high mobility at room temperature in wide‐bandgap perovskite stannates is enticing for oxide electronics, particularly to realize transparent and high‐electron mobility transistors. Nonetheless only a small number of studies to date report 2DEGs in BaSnO(3)‐based heterostructures. Here, 2DEG formation at the LaScO(3)/BaSnO(3) (LSO/BSO) interface with a room‐temperature mobility of 60 cm(2) V(−1) s(−1) at a carrier concentration of 1.7 × 10(13) cm(–2) is reported. This is an order of magnitude higher mobility at room temperature than achieved in SrTiO(3)‐based 2DEGs. This is achieved by combining a thick BSO buffer layer with an ex situ high‐temperature treatment, which not only reduces the dislocation density but also produces a SnO(2)‐terminated atomically flat surface, followed by the growth of an overlying BSO/LSO interface. Using weak beam dark‐field transmission electron microscopy imaging and in‐line electron holography technique, a reduction of the threading dislocation density is revealed, and direct evidence for the spatial confinement of a 2DEG at the BSO/LSO interface is provided. This work opens a new pathway to explore the exciting physics of stannate‐based 2DEGs at application‐relevant temperatures for oxide nanoelectronics
Interface structure and strain relaxation in BaTiO3 thin films grown on GdScO3 and DyScO3 substrates with buried coherent SrRuO3 layer
To obtain the electrical properties of strained ferroelectric thin films, bottom electrodes with lattice constants and thermal coefficients matched to both films and substrates are needed. The interface structure, strain configuration, and strain relaxation in such bilayer systems are different from those in single layer systems. Here, we report transmission electron microscopy studies of epitaxial BaTiO3 films grown on GdScO3 and DyScO3 substrates with buried SrRuO3 layers. We found that the different strain relaxation behaviors observed in the bilayer are mainly dependent on lattice mismatch of each layer to the substrate and the thicknesses of each layer.open7

Scaling of the anomalous Hall effect in SrCaRuO
The anomalous Hall effect (AHE) of ferromagnetic thin films of
SrCaRuO (0 0.4) is studied as a function of
and temperature . As increases, both the transition temperature
and the magnetization are reduced and vanish near 0.7. For all
compositions, the transverse resistivity varies non-monotonously
with , and even changes sign, thus violating the conventional expression
( is the magnetic induction, while
and are the ordinary and anomalous Hall coefficients). From the rather
complicated data of , we find a scaling behavior of the transverse
conductivity with , which is well reproduced by the
first-principles band calculation assuming the intrinsic origin of the AHE.Comment: REVTeX 4 style; 5 pages, 3 figures; revised 23/2 and accepted for

Tailoring a two-dimensional electron gas at the LaAlO3/SrTiO3 (001) interface by epitaxial strain
Recently a metallic state was discovered at the interface between insulating
oxides, most notably LaAlO3 and SrTiO3. Properties of this two-dimensional
electron gas (2DEG) have attracted significant interest due to its potential
applications in nanoelectronics. Control over this carrier density and mobility
of the 2DEG is essential for applications of these novel systems, and may be
achieved by epitaxial strain. However, despite the rich nature of strain
effects on oxide materials properties, such as ferroelectricity, magnetism, and
superconductivity, the relationship between the strain and electrical
properties of the 2DEG at the LaAlO3/SrTiO3 heterointerface remains largely
unexplored. Here, we use different lattice constant single crystal substrates
to produce LaAlO3/SrTiO3 interfaces with controlled levels of biaxial epitaxial
strain. We have found that tensile strained SrTiO3 destroys the conducting
2DEG, while compressively strained SrTiO3 retains the 2DEG, but with a carrier
concentration reduced in comparison to the unstrained LaAlO3/SrTiO3 interface.
We have also found that the critical LaAlO3 overlayer thickness for 2DEG
formation increases with SrTiO3 compressive strain. Our first-principles
calculations suggest that a strain-induced electric polarization in the SrTiO3
layer is responsible for this behavior. It is directed away from the interface
and hence creates a negative polarization charge opposing that of the polar
LaAlO3 layer. This both increases the critical thickness of the LaAlO3 layer,
and reduces carrier concentration above the critical thickness, in agreement
with our experimental results. Our findings suggest that epitaxial strain can
be used to tailor 2DEGs properties of the LaAlO3/SrTiO3 heterointerface
Transport Properties, Thermodynamic Properties, and Electronic Structure of SrRuO3
SrRuO is a metallic ferromagnet. Its electrical resistivity is reported
for temperatures up to 1000K; its Hall coefficient for temperatures up to 300K;
its specific heat for temperatures up to 230K. The energy bands have been
calculated by self-consistent spin-density functional theory, which finds a
ferromagnetic ordered moment of 1.45 per Ru atom. The measured
linear specific heat coefficient is 30mJ/mole, which exceeds the
theoretical value by a factor of 3.7. A transport mean free path at room
temperature of is found. The resistivity increases nearly
linearly with temperature to 1000K in spite of such a short mean free path that
resistivity saturation would be expected. The Hall coefficient is small and
positive above the Curie temperature, and exhibits both a low-field and a
high-field anomalous behavior below the Curie temperature.Comment: 6 pages (latex) and 6 figures (postscript, uuencoded.) This paper
