Comparative high-field magnetotransport of the oxypnictide superconductors RFeAsO1−xFx (R=La, Nd) and SmFeAsO1−

چکیده
We compare magnetotransport of the three iron-arsenide-based compounds ReFeAsO Re=La, Sm, Nd in very high DC and pulsed magnetic fields up to 45 and 54 T, respectively. Each sample studied exhibits a superconducting transition temperature near the maximum reported to date for that particular compound. While high magnetic fields do not suppress the superconducting state appreciably, the resistivity, Hall coefficient, and critical magnetic fields, taken together, suggest that the phenomenology and superconducting parameters of the oxypnictide superconductors bridges the gap between MgB2 and YBCO.

Coexistence of magnetic fluctuations and superconductivity in the pnictide high temperature superconductor SmFeAsO1-xFx measured by muon spin rotation.
Muon spin rotation experiments were performed on the pnictide high temperature superconductor SmFeAsO1-xFx with x=0.18 and 0.3. We observed an unusual enhancement of slow spin fluctuations in the vicinity of the superconducting transition which suggests that the spin fluctuations contribute to the formation of an unconventional superconducting state. An estimate of the in-plane penetration dept...
متن کاملStatic magnetic order and superfluid density of RFeAs(O,F) (R=La,Nd,Ce) and LaFePO studied by muon spin relaxation: unusual similarities with the behavior of cuprate superconductors.
Muon spin relaxation measurements in iron-oxypnictide systems have revealed: (1) commensurate long-range order in undoped LaFeAsO; (2) a Bessel function line shape in LaFeAs(O0.97F0.03) which indicates possible incommensurate or stripe magnetism; (3) anomalous weak magnetism existing in superconducting LaFePO, CeFeAs(O0.084F0.16), and NdFeAs(O0.88F0.12) but absent in superconducting LaFeAs(O0.9...
متن کاملNeutron irradiation of SmFeAsO1−xFx
SmFeAsO1−xFx was irradiated in a fission reactor by a fast (E > 0.1 MeV) neutron fluence of 4 × 1021 m−2. The introduced defects increased the normal state resistivity due to a reduction in the mean free path of the charge carriers. This leads to an enhancement of the upper critical field at low temperatures. The critical current density within the grains, Jc, increases upon irradiation. The se...
متن کاملField Dependent Superfluid Density in the Optimally Doped SmFeAsO1−xFy Superconductor
The magnetic-field dependence of the in-plane magnetic penetration depth �ab for optimally doped SmFeAsO1−xFy was investigated by combining torque magnetometry, SQUID magnetometry, and muon-spin rotation. The results obtained from these techniques show all a pronounced decrease of the superfluid density �s��ab− 2 as the field is increased to 1.4 T. This behaviour of �s is analysed within a two-...
متن کاملAnisotropic phase diagram and superconducting fluctuations of single - crystalline
We report on the specific-heat determination of the anisotropic phase diagram of single crystals of optimally doped SmFeAsO1-xFx. In zero field, we find a clear cusplike anomaly in C/T with ΔC/Tc=24 mJ/mol K2 at Tc=49.5 K. In magnetic fields along the c axis, pronounced superconducting fluctuations induce broadening and suppression of the specific-heat anomaly which can be described using three...
