    Magnetotransport properties of FeSe in fields up to 50T

    Full text link
    Magnetotransport properties of the high-quality FeSe crystal, measured in a wide temperature range and in magnetic fields up to 50 T, show the symmetry of the main holelike and electronlike bands in this compound. In addition to the main two bands, there is also a tiny, highly mobile, electronlike band which is responsible for the non-linear behavior of ρxy\rho_{xy}(B) at low temperatures and some other peculiarities of FeSe. We observe the inversion of the ρxx\rho_{xx} temperature coeficient at a magnetic field higher than about 20 T which is an implicit conformation of the electron-hole symmetry in the main bands.Comment: MISM 201

    Gravitational cubic interactions for a massive mixed symmetry gauge field

    Full text link
    In a recent paper arXiv:1107.1872 cubic gravitational interactions for a massless mixed symmetry field in AdS space have been constructed. In the current paper we extend these results to the case of massive field. We work in a Fradkin-Vasiliev approach and use frame-like gauge invariant description for massive field which works in (A)dS spaces with arbitrary values of cosmological constant including flat Minkowski space. In this, massless limit in AdS space coincides with the results of arXiv:1107.1872 while we show that it is impossible to switch on gravitational interaction for massless field in dS space.Comment: 13 page

    Highly mobile carriers in orthorhombic phases of iron-based superconductors FeSe1x{}_{1-x}Sx{}_{x}

    Full text link
    The field and temperature dependencies of the longitudinal and Hall resistivity have been measured for FeSe1x{}_{1-x}Sx{}_{x} (x=0.04, 0.09 and 0.19) single crystals. The sample FeSe0.81{}_{0.81}S0.19{}_{0.19} does not show a transition to an orthorhombic phase and exhibits at low temperatures the transport properties quite different from those of orthorhombic samples. The behavior of FeSe0.81{}_{0.81}S0.19{}_{0.19} is well described by the simple two band model with comparable values of hole and electron mobility. In particular, at low temperatures the transverse resistance shows a linear field dependence, the magnetoresistance follow a quadratic field dependence and obeys to Kohler's rule. In contrast, Kohler's rule is strongly violated for samples having an orthorhombic low temperature structure. However, the transport properties of the orthorhombic samples can be satisfactory described by the three band model with the pair of almost equivalent to the tetragonal sample hole and electron bands, supplemented with the highly mobile electron band which has two order smaller carrier number. Therefore, the peculiarity of the low temperature transport properties of the orthorhombic Fe(SeS) samples, as probably of many other orthorhombic iron superconductors, is due to the presence of a small number of highly mobile carriers which originate from the local regions of the Fermi surface, presumably, nearby the Van Hove singularity points

    Majority carrier type inversion in FeSe family and "doped semimetal" scheme in iron-based superconductors

    Full text link
    The field and temperature dependencies of the longitudinal and Hall resistivity have been studied for high-quality FeSe1x{}_{1-x}Sx{}_{x} (x up to 0.14) single crystals. Quasiclassical analysis of the obtained data indicates a strong variation of the electron and hole concentrations under the studied isovalent substitution and proximity of FeSe to the point of the majority carrier-type inversion. On this basis, we propose a `doped semimetal' scheme for the superconducting phase diagram of the FeSe family, which can be applied to other iron-based superconductors. In this scheme, the two local maxima of the superconducting temperature can be associated with the Van Hove singularities of a simplified semi-metallic electronic structure. The multicarrier analysis of the experimental data also reveals the presence of a tiny and highly mobile electron band for all the samples studied. Sulfur substitution in the studied range leads to a decrease in the number of mobile electrons by more than ten times, from about 3\% to about 0.2\%. This behavior may indicate a successive change of the Fermi level position relative to singular points of the electronic structure which is consistent with the `doped semimetal' scheme. The scattering time for mobile carriers does not depend on impurities, which allows us to consider this group as a possible source of unusual acoustic properties of FeSe

    Evaluation of the accuracy of surgical reconstruction of mandibular defects when using navigation templates and patient-specific titanium implants

    The management of patients with post-traumatic and post-operative mandibular defects is a major challenge even for experienced surgeons. Performing traditional reconstructive interventions with the use of bone autografts is always confronted with the problem of inconsistency between the shape, architecture, a biological. An alternative to conventional bone grafting is the use of digital protocol and CAD /CAMtechnology, which allows fabricating different types of customised medical devices. All patients underwent reconstructive and restoring interventions with the use of patient-specific titanium implants guided by a full digital protocol.Patients were examined in compliance with the standard scheme. To repair the defects, PSIs were fabricated with the use of selective laser sintering of titanium.The introduction of digital technologies and computer technique of diagnosing, planning and implementation of surgical interventions has been the main direction aimed at the improving the accuracy and predictability of reconstructive restorative surgery. Among the main achievements in this direction are the improvement of software and methods of computer modeling, as well as the introduction of CAD /CAMtechnology.The use of CAD /CAMtechnologies, in particular, navigational surgical templates and patient-specific implants for the repair of mandibular defects ensures a high level of accuracy and predictability

    Superconducting properties of sulfur-doped iron selenide

    Full text link
    The recent discovery of high-temperature superconductivity in single-layer iron selenide has generated significant experimental interest for optimizing the superconducting properties of iron-based superconductors through the lattice modification. For simulating the similar effect by changing the chemical composition due to S doping, we investigate the superconducting properties of high-quality single crystals of FeSe1x_{1-x}Sx_{x} (xx=0, 0.04, 0.09, and 0.11) using magnetization, resistivity, the London penetration depth, and low temperature specific heat measurements. We show that the introduction of S to FeSe enhances the superconducting transition temperature TcT_{c}, anisotropy, upper critical field Hc2H_{c2}, and critical current density JcJ_{c}. The upper critical field Hc2(T)H_{c2}(T) and its anisotropy are strongly temperature dependent, indicating a multiband superconductivity in this system. Through the measurements and analysis of the London penetration depth λab(T)\lambda _{ab}(T) and specific heat, we show clear evidence for strong coupling two-gap ss-wave superconductivity. The temperature-dependence of λab(T)\lambda _{ab}(T) calculated from the lower critical field and electronic specific heat can be well described by using a two-band model with ss-wave-like gaps. We find that a dd-wave and single-gap BCS theory under the weak-coupling approach can not describe our experiments. The change of specific heat induced by the magnetic field can be understood only in terms of multiband superconductivity.Comment: 13 pages, 7 figure
