Evolution of superconductivity in LaO1-xFxBiS2 prepared by high pressure technique
Novel BiS2-based superconductors LaO1-xFxBiS2 prepared by the high pressure
synthesis technique were systematically studied. It was found that the high
pressure annealing strongly the lattice as compared to the LaO1-xFxBiS2 samples
prepared by conventional solid state reaction at ambient pressure. Bulk
superconductivity was observed within a wide F-concentration range of x = 0.2 ~
0.7. On the basis of those results, we have established a phase diagram of
LaO1-xFxBiS2.Comment: 11 pages, 6 figure
s-wave pairing in the optimally-doped LaO0.5F0.5BiS2 superconductor
We report on the magnetic and superconducting properties of LaO0.5F0.5BiS2 by
means of zero- (ZF) and transverse-field (TF) muon-spin spectroscopy
measurements (uSR). Contrary to previous results on iron-based superconductors,
measurements in zero field demonstrate the absence of magnetically ordered
phases. TF-uSR data give access to the superfluid density, which shows a marked
2D character with a dominant s-wave temperature behavior. The field dependence
of the magnetic penetration depth confirms this finding and further suggests
the presence of an anisotropic superconducting gap
Fermiological Interpretation of Superconductivity/Non-superconductivity of FeTe_{1-x}Se_{x} Thin Crystal Determined by Quantum Oscillation Measurement
We have successfully observed quantum oscillation (QO) for FeTe_{1-x}Se_{x}.
QO measurements were performed using non-superconducting and superconducting
thin crystals of FeTe_{0.65}Se_{0.35} fabricated by the scotch-tape method. We
show that the Fermi surfaces (FS) of the non-superconducting crystal are in
good agreement with the rigid band shift model based on electron doping by
excess Fe while that of the superconducting crystal is in good agreement with
the calculated FS with no shift. From the FS comparison of both crystals, we
demonstrate the change of the cross-sectional area of the FS, suggesting that
the suppression of the FS nesting with the vector Q_{s} = (\pi, \pi) due to
excess Fe results in the disappearance of the superconductivity.Comment: 8 pages, 4 figure
