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
QCD Chiral restoration at finite under the Magnetic field: Studies based on the instanton vacuum model
We investigate the chiral restoration at finite temperature under the
strong external magnetic field of the SU(2) light-flavor
QCD matter. We employ the instanton-liquid QCD vacuum configuration accompanied
with the linear Schwinger method for inducing the magnetic field. The
Harrington-Shepard caloron solution is used to modify the instanton parameters,
i.e. the average instanton size and inter-instanton distance
, as functions of . In addition, we include the meson-loop
corrections (MLC) as the large- corrections because they are critical
for reproducing the universal chiral restoration pattern. We present the
numerical results for the constituent-quark mass as well as chiral condensate
which signal the spontaneous breakdown of chiral-symmetry (SBS), as
functions of and . Besides we find that the changes for the and
due to the magnetic field is relatively small, in comparison to those
caused by the finite effect.Comment: 4 pages, 1 table, 6figs. arXiv admin note: significant text overlap
