Multiband effects on beta-FeSe single crystals
We present the upper critical fields Hc2(T) and Hall effect in beta-FeSe
single crystals. The Hc2(T) increases as the temperature is lowered for field
applied parallel and perpendicular to (101), the natural growth facet of the
crystal. The Hc2(T) for both field directions and the anisotropy at low
temperature increase under pressure. Hole carriers are dominant at high
magnetic fields. However, the contribution of electron-type carriers is
significant at low fields and low temperature. Our results show that multiband
effects dominate Hc2(T) and electronic transport in the normal state
Quantum transport of two-dimensional Dirac fermions in SrMnBi2
We report two-dimensional quantum transport in SrMnBi single crystals.
The linear energy dispersion leads to the unusual nonsaturated linear
magnetoresistance since all Dirac fermions occupy the lowest Landau level in
the quantum limit. The transverse magnetoresistance exhibits a crossover at a
critical field from semiclassical weak-field dependence to the
high-field linear-field dependence. With increase in the temperature, the
critical field increases and the temperature dependence of
satisfies quadratic behavior which is attributed to the Landau level splitting
of the linear energy dispersion. The effective magnetoresistant mobility
cm/Vs is derived. Angular dependent magnetoresistance
and quantum oscillations suggest dominant two-dimensional (2D) Fermi surfaces.
Our results illustrate the dominant 2D Dirac fermion states in SrMnBi and
imply that bulk crystals with Bi square nets can be used to study low
dimensional electronic transport commonly found in 2D materials like graphene.Comment: 5 papges, 4 figure
Two dimensional Dirac fermions and quantum magnetoresistance in CaMnBi
We report two dimensional Dirac fermions and quantum magnetoresistance in
single crystals of CaMnBi. The non-zero Berry's phase, small cyclotron
resonant mass and first-principle band structure suggest the existence of the
Dirac fermions in the Bi square nets. The in-plane transverse magnetoresistance
exhibits a crossover at a critical field from semiclassical weak-field
dependence to the high-field unsaturated linear magnetoresistance ( in 9 T at 2 K) due to the quantum limit of the Dirac fermions. The
temperature dependence of satisfies quadratic behavior, which is
attributed to the splitting of linear energy dispersion in high field. Our
results demonstrate the existence of two dimensional Dirac fermions in
CaMnBi with Bi square nets.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figure
Persistence to high temperatures of interlayer coherence in an organic superconductor
The interlayer magnetoresistance of the organic metal \cuscn is
studied in fields of up to 45 T and at temperatures from 0.5 K to 30 K. The
peak in seen in in-plane fields, a definitive signature of
interlayer coherence, remains to s exceeding the Anderson criterion for
incoherent transport by a factor . Angle-dependent magnetoresistance
oscillations are modeled using an approach based on field-induced quasiparticle
paths on a 3D Fermi surface, to yield the dependence of the scattering rate
. The results suggest that does not vary strongly over
the Fermi surface, and that it has a dependence due to electron-electron
scattering
High-magnetic field lattice length changes in URu2Si2
We report high magnetic field (up to 45 T) c-axis thermal expansion and
magnetostriction experiments on URu2Si2 single crystals. The sample length
change associated with the transition to the hidden order phase becomes
increasingly discontinous as the magnetic field is raised above 25 T. The
re-entrant ordered phase III is clearly observed in both the thermal expansion
and magnetostriction above 36 T, in good agreement with previous results. The
sample length is also discontinuous at the boundaries of this phase, mainly at
the upper boundary. A change in the sign of the coefficient of
thermal-expansion is observed at the metamagnetic transition (B_M = 38 T) which
is likely related to the existence of a quantum critical end point.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figures, to be published in PR
Magnetic field induced lattice anomaly inside the superconducting state of CeCoIn: evidence of the proposed Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov state
We report high magnetic field linear magnetostriction experiments on
CeCoIn single crystals. Two features are remarkable: (i) a sharp
discontinuity in all the crystallographic axes associated with the upper
superconducting critical field that becomes less pronounced as the
temperature increases; (ii) a distinctive second order-like feature observed
only along the c-axis in the high field (10 T ) low
temperature ( 0.35 K) region. This second order transition is
observed only when the magnetic field lies within 20 of the ab-planes and
there is no signature of it above , which raises questions regarding
its interpretation as a field induced magnetically ordered phase. Good
agreement with previous results suggests that this anomaly is related to the
transition to the Fulde-Ferrel-Larkin-Ovchinnikov superconducting state.Comment: 3 figures, 5 page
