Pressure effects on the superconducting thin film BaKFeAs
We report electrical resistivity measurements on a high-quality
BaKFeAs thin film () under pressure. The
superconducting transition temperature (=39.95 K) of the optimally-doped thin
film shows a dome shape with pressure, reaching a maximal value 40.8 K at 11.8
kbar. The unusually high superconducting transition temperature and its
anomalous pressure dependence are ascribed to a lattice mismatch between the
LaAlO substrate and the thin film. The local temperature exponent of the
resistivity () shows a funnel shape around
the optimal pressure, suggesting that fluctuations associated with the
anomalous normal state are responsible for high-temperature superconductivity.Comment: To appear in Appl. Phys. Let
Singlet Fermionic Dark Matter with Dark
We present a fermionic dark matter model mediated by the hidden gauge boson.
We assume the QED-like hidden sector which consists of a Dirac fermion and
U(1) gauge symmetry, and introduce an additional scalar electroweak doublet
field with the U(1) charge as a mediator. The hidden U(1) symmetry is
spontaneously broken by the electroweak symmetry breaking and there exists a
massive extra neutral gauge boson in this model which is the mediator between
the hidden and visible sectors. Due to the U(1) charge, the additional
scalar doublet does not couple to the Standard Model fermions, which leads to
the Higgs sector of type I two Higgs doublet model. The new gauge boson couples
to the Standard Model fermions with couplings proportional to those of the
ordinary boson but very suppressed, thus we call it the dark boson. We
study the phenomenology of the dark boson and the Higgs sector, and show
the hidden fermion can be the dark matter candidate.Comment: 10 pages, 3 figure
Potassium-doped BaFe2As2 superconducting thin films with a transition temperature of 40 K
We report the growth of potassium-doped BaFe2As2 thin films, where the major
charge carriers are holes, on Al2O3 (0001) and LaAlO3 (001) substrates by using
an ex-situ pulsed laser deposition technique. The measured Tc's are 40 and 39 K
for the films grown on Al2O3 and LaAlO3, respectively and diamagnetism
indicates that the films have good bulk superconducting properties below 36 and
30 K, respectively. The X-ray diffraction patterns for both films indicated a
preferred c-axis orientation, regardless of the substrate structures of LaAlO3
and Al2O3. The upper critical field at zero temperature was estimated to be
about 155 T.Comment: 6 pages including 3 figure
