Dynamical Screening and Superconducting State in Intercalated Layered Metallochloronitrides
An essential property of layered systems is the dynamical nature of the
screened Coulomb interaction. Low energy collective modes appear as a
consequence of the layering and provide for a superconducting-pairing channel
in addition to the electron-phonon induced attractive interaction. We show that
taking into account this feature allows to explain the high critical
temperatures (Tc~26K) observed in recently discovered intercalated
metallochloronitrides. The exchange of acoustic plasmons between carriers leads
to a significant enhancement of the superconducting critical temperature that
is in agreement with the experimental observations
Microwave Penetration Depth and Quasiparticle Conductivity in PrFeAsO_1-y Single Crystals : Evidence for a Full-Gap Superconductor
In-plane microwave penetration depth and quaiparticle
conductivity at 28 GHz are measured in underdoped single crystals of the
Fe-based superconductor PrFeAsO ( K) by using a
sensitive superconducting cavity resonator. shows flat
dependence at low temperatures, which is incompatible with the presence of
nodes in the superconducting gap . The temperature dependence
of the superfluid density demonstrates that the gap is non-zero
() all over the Fermi surface. The microwave
conductivity below exhibits an enhancement larger than the coherence
peak, reminiscent of high- cuprate superconductors.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures. Version accepted for publication in Phys. Rev.
