The results indicate that the superconducting transition temperature is -4.6 K. The zero temperature upper critical field determined from the resistivity and specific heat is 3123 Oe. The electronic coefficient of specific heat γn=4.51 mJmol^-1K^2 and the Debye temperature θD=419 K are obtained by fitting the zero-field specific heat data in the normal state. At low temperatures, the electronic specific heat in the superconducting state follows Ces/γnTc = 2.84 exp(-1.21Tc/T). This indicates that the superconducting pairing in Nb0.75Mg0.25B2 has s-wave symmetry.展开更多

The low-temperature longitudinal resistivity (ρxx) data demonstrate that a striking even-odd asymmetric transport exists along the [110] direction at half filling in N ≥ 2 high Landau levels. Although the origin for the peculiar even-odd asymmetry remains unclear, we propose that the coupling strength between electrons within the same Landau level and between the neighboring two Landau levels should be considered in future studies. The tilt field data show that the in-plane field can suppress the formation of both bubble and stripe phases.展开更多

Under an optical microscope, the positions and the corresponding deflections of the original cantilevers(with iron catalytic nanoparticles at the free end) and corresponding cut-off cantilevers(the free ends consisting of open ends of MWNTs) are studied. Both kinds of CNT cantilevers are found to be attracted by the magnet, and the point of application of force is proven to be at the tip of the cantilever. By measuring and comparing deflections between these two kinds of cantilevers, the magnetic moment at the open ends of the CNTs can be quantified.Due to the unexpectedly high value of the magnetic moment at the open ends of carbon nanotubes, it is called giant magnetic moment, and its possible mechanisms are proposed and discussed.展开更多

The peak of specific heat at 24.5 K in zero field shifts to lower temperature when the field is increased and the magnitude of the peak is suppressed by the field. On the contrary, the peak of 22.5 K shifts to higher temperature, especially at 14 T. Its magnitude increases in the field of H^c, whereas it decreases in the field of H^ab. We calculate the entropy change between 21 K and 63 K. The different influence of the spin ordering by fields of different direction is obtained. Our experimental results suggest a mixed state between the long range incommensurate helimagnetic ground state and the higher-T short-range dimer liquid state. The temperature range of mixed state is shrunk with the increasing field. Possible mechanism is discussed.展开更多

As a first step to test this proposal, we successfully fabricated Corbino-geometry Josephson junctions(JJs) on the surface of Bi_(2)Te_(3) flakes. Ac Josephson effect with fractional Shapiro steps was observed in the Corbino-geometry JJs while the flux in the junction area was quantized. By analyzing the experimental data using the resistively shunted Josephson junction model, we found that the Corbino-geometry JJs exhibit a skewed current-phase relation due to its high transparency. The results suggest that Corbino-geometry JJs constructed on the surface of topological insulators may provide a promising platform for studying Majorana-related physics.展开更多

Such a phenomenon in topological insulator-based Josephson trijunction provides unambiguous evidence for the existence of AJE in the system, and may provide an additional knob for controlling the Majorana bound states in the Fu–Kane scheme of topological quantum computation.展开更多

Rather than the Aharonov-Bohm interference, these oscillations are attributed to the Coulomb interactions between interfering edge states and localized states in the central island of an interferometer, as confirmed by the observation of a positive slope for the lines of constant oscillation phase in the image plot of resistance in the 13 Vs plane. Similar resistance oscillations are also observed when the area A of the center regime and the backseattering probability of interfering edge states are varied, by changing the side-gate voltages and the configuration of the quantum point contacts, respectively. The oscillation amplitudes decay exponentially with temperature in the ramge of 40mK〈 T ≤ 130 mK, with a characteristic temperature T0 -25 mK, consistent with recent theoretical and experimental works.展开更多

Commensurability peaks are generally observed in the magneto-resistivity ρ(xx),and remarkable similarity between dρ(xy)/dB and ρ(xx) is found. In samples of relatively large aspect ratio d/a, the Aharonov-Bohm-type oscillations are clearly observed in both ρ(xx) and ρ(xy), as well as the quenching of the Hall resistivity ρ(xy) in the vicinity of B = 0. These observations evince the good quality of our samples, and attest to the adequate preparation for fabricating antidot lattices of a reduced period to realize artificial graphene from GaAs/AlGaAs 2DESs.展开更多

文摘We have performed low temperature resistivity p(T) and specific heat C(T) measurements on a superconducting polycrystalline Nb0.75Mg0.25B2 sample. The results indicate that the superconducting transition temperature is -4.6 K. The zero temperature upper critical field determined from the resistivity and specific heat is 3123 Oe. The electronic coefficient of specific heat γn=4.51 mJmol^-1K^2 and the Debye temperature θD=419 K are obtained by fitting the zero-field specific heat data in the normal state. At low temperatures, the electronic specific heat in the superconducting state follows Ces/γnTc = 2.84 exp(-1.21Tc/T). This indicates that the superconducting pairing in Nb0.75Mg0.25B2 has s-wave symmetry.
