通过计算界面势垒散射强度对直流Josephson电流的影响,研究了f波超导体/绝缘层/f波超导体结的直流Josephson电流与温度T和结两侧晶轴方位角之间的关系.我们发现:f波超导体/绝缘层/f波超导体结界面的势垒强度总是抑制结中准粒子的Andreev反射,降低流过f波超导体/绝缘层/f波超导体结的直流Josephson电流.当结两边晶轴方位角相同时,Josephson电流的振荡周期是2π;特别地,当结两边晶轴方位角不同时,其振荡周期不再是2π,而是会随着势垒强度的增大,振荡周期变小.

Essence of Pseudogap and Oscillation in High-Temperature Cuprate Superconductor Junction of Pseudogap State

This paper gives methods to calculate the pairing temperature T＊, at which a pseudogap is opened, and the superconducting temperature Tc, at which superconductivity appears, in the high-Te cuprates, and demonstrates directly that at Tc 〈 T 〈 T＊ the pseudogap is the gap of Cooper pair without long-range phase coherence, and at T 〈 Tc there is long-range phase coherence between Cooper pairs. Based on the above clear physical picture on the pseudogap state and our mechanism for the ac Josephson effect, this paper proposes that there should he a novel oscillatory current in P-I-P junction, induced by a constant bias on the junction. Here, P represents the high-Tc curates in the pseudogap state, where Cooper pairs do not have long-range phase coherence, and I represents the thin insulating barrier. This paper conjectures that there is a possible high-temperature superconductivity in the heavily underdoped high-Tc cuprates.

Shot Noise in Ferromagnetic Superconductor Tunnel Junctions

In this paper, the superconducting order parameter and the energy spectrum of the Bogoliubov excitations are obtained from the Bogoliubov-de Gennes （BdG） equation for a ferromagnetic superconductor （FS）. Taking into account the rough interface scattering effect, we calculate the shot noise and the differential conductance of the normalmetal insulator ferromagnetic superconductor junction. It is shown that the exchange energy Eh in FS can lead to splitting of the differential shot noise peaks and the conductance peaks. The energy difference between the two splitting peaks is equal to 2Eh. The rough interface scattering strength results in descent of conductance peaks and the shot noise-to-current ratio but increases the shot noise.

Tunneling Conductance and Magnetoresistance in Ferromagnet／Ferromagnet／d-WaveSuperconductor Double Tunnel Junctions

The tunneling conductance and tunneling magnetoresistance(TMR)are investigated in ferromagnet/insulator/ferromagnet/insulator/d-wave superconductor(FM/I/FM/I/d-wave SC)structures by applying an extended Blonder-Tinkham-Klapwijk(BTK)approach.We study the effects of the exchange splitting in the FM, the magnetic impurity scattering in the thin insulator interface of FM/I/FM,and noncollinear magnetizations in adja- cent magnetic layers on the TMR.It is shown(1)that the tunneling conductance and TMR exhibit amplitude-varying oscillating behavior with exchange splitting,(2)that with the presence of spin-flip scattering in insulator interface of FM/I/FM,the TMR can be dramatically enhanced,and(3)that the TMR depends strongly on the angle between the magnetization of two FMs.

Anisotropy of Critical Fields in MgB_2: Two-Band Ginzburg-Landau Theory for Layered Superconductors

The temperature dependence of the anisotropy parameter of upper critical field γHe2 （T） = Hc2^‖ （T） /Hc2^⊥ （T） and London penetration depth γλ （T） = λ‖（T）/λ⊥ （T） are calculated using two-band Ginzburg-Landau theory for layered superconductors. It is shown that, with decreasing temperature the anisotropy parameter γHc2 （T） is increased, while the London penetration depth anisotropy γλ（T） reveals an opposite behavior. Results of our calculations are in agreement with experimental data for single crystal MgB2 and with other calculations..Results of an analysis of magnetic field Hc1 in a single vortex between superconducting layers are also presented.

dc Josephson Effect in s-Wave Superconductor/Ferromagnet Insulator/p-Wave Superconductor Junctions

The Josephson currents in s-wave superconductor/ferromagnet insulator/p-wave superconductor（s/FI/p） junctions are calculated as a function of temperature and the phase taking into account the roughness scattering effect at interface. The phase dependence of the Josephson current I （φ） between s-wave and px-wave superconductor is predicted to be sin（2φ）. The ferromagnet scattering effect, the barrier strength, and the roughness strength at interface suppress the dc currents in s/FI/p junction.

Josephson Current in Superconductor-Ferromagnet／Insulator／d-Wave Superconductor Junctions

Solving the Bogoliubov-de Gennes equation, the energy levels of bound statesare obtained in the ferromagnetic superconductor. The Josephson currents in a ferromagneticsuperconductor/Insulator/d-wave superconductor junction are calculated as a function of the exchangefield, temperature, and insulating barrier strength. It is found that the Josephson criticalcurrent is always suppressed by the presence of exchange Geld h and depends on crystalline axisorientation of d-wave superconductor.

Josephson Effect in FS/I/N/I/FS Tunnel Junctions

The Bogoliubov de Gennes equation is applied to the study of coherence effects in the ferromagnetic superconductor/insulator/normal metal/insulator/ferromagnetic/superconductor （FS/I/N/I/FS） junction. We calculated the Josephson current in FS/I/N/I/FS as a function of exchange field in ferromagnetic superconductor, temperature, and normal metal thickness. It is found that the Josephson critical current in FS/I/N/I/FS exhibits oscillations as a function of the length of normal metal. The exchange field always suppresses the Josephson critical current Ip for a parallel configuration of the magnetic moments of two ferromagnetic superconductor （FS） electrodes. In the antiparallel configuration, the Josephson critical current IAv at the minimum values of oscillation increases with the exchange field for strong barrier strength and at low temperatures.

New High Tc-Value Investigated in Superconducting System YBa2（C u3）1-xA gxO6.5x＋δ

A ceramic superconductor compound with composition YBa2（C u3）1-xA gxO6.5x＋δhas been prepared experimentally by solid state reaction from principal roots of high purity materials like Y203, BaO, CuO and Ag20. The study was concentrated on the effect of partial substitution of Ag with respect to Cu atoms by the ratios （x = 0, 1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4 and 0.5） through different analysis and measurements. X-ray diffraction （XRD）, Scanning Electron Microscope （SEM） and Resistivity measurement is play an important role to show the improvement on high superconducting phase. It was found that the best substituted value of （x = 0.5） investigated a favor value of Tc equal nearly to （123 K）, due to more excess of Ag atoms in the structure. X-ray diffraction showed an orthorhombic structure related to high-To phase with high stability through diminishing some peaks related to low temperature superconducting phase, that was related to presence of multiphase derivative from YBCO-phase. SEM pictures give us more details on the surface morphology, grain and grain boundaries, it gives an indication on successful of sintering process, the last one is very important in forming superconducting phase.

Diluted ferromagnetic semiconductor(LaCa)(ZnMn)SbO isostructural to “1111” type iron pnictide superconductors

We report discovery of ferromagnetism in(LaCa)(ZnMn)SbO isostructural to the well-studied iron-based superconductor LaFeAs(O1 xFx).Spin is induced by partial substitution of Mn2+for Zn2+,while charge is induced by substitution of Ca2+for La3+within the parent compound LaZnSbO.Ferromagnetism with Curie temperature(TC)is observed up to 40 K at the spin doping 0.15 by introducing Mn2+into the Zn2+sites for(La0.95Ca0.05)(Zn1 xMnx)SbO.The Hall coefficient measurement indicates p-type carrier for(La0.95Ca0.05)(Zn0.9Mn0.1)SbO with concentration of n^1020cm 3showing anomalous Hall effect below TC.

Superconductivity at 10.4 K in a novel quasi-one-dimensional ternary molybdenum pnictide K2Mo3As3

Here we report the discovery of the first ternary molybdenum pnictide based superconductor K2Mo3As3. Polycrystalline samples were synthesized by the conventional solid state reaction method. X-ray diffrac- tion analysis reveals a quasi-one-dimensional hexagonal crystal structure with （Mo3As3）2 linear chains separated by K^＋ ions, similar as previously reported K2Cr3As3, with the space group of P-6m2 （No. 187） and the refined lattice parameters a = 10.145（5） A and c = 4.453（8） A. Electrical resistivity, magnetic susceptibility, and heat capacity measurements exhibit bulk superconductivity with the onset Tc at 10.4 K in K2Mo3As3 which is higher than the isostructural Cr-based superconductors. Being the same group VIB transition elements and with similar structural motifs, these Cr and Mo based superconductors may share some common underlying origins for the occurrence of superconductivity and need more investigations to uncover the electron pairing within a quasi-one-dimensional chain structure.

FeTe1-xSex monolayer films： towards the realization of high-temperature connate topological superconductivity

We performed angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy studies on a series of FeTe_(1-x)Se_x monolayer films grown on Sr TiO_3.The superconductivity of the films is robust and rather insensitive to the variations of the band position and effective mass caused by the substitution of Se by Te.However,the band gap between the electron-and hole-like bands at the Brillouin zone center decreases towards band inversion and parity exchange,which drive the system to a nontrivial topological state predicted by theoretical calculations.Our results provide a clear experimental indication that the FeTe_(1-x)Se_x monolayer materials are high-temperature connate topological superconductors in which band topology and superconductivity are integrated intrinsically.

Crystal structure and superconductivity at about 30 K in ACa_2Fe_4As_4F_2(A = Rb,Cs)

We have synthesized two iron fluo-arsenides ACa2Fe4As4Fz with A = Rb and Cs, analogous to the newly discovered superconductor KCazFe4As4F2. The quinary inor- ganic compounds crystallize in a body-centered tetragonal lattice with space group I4/mmm, which contain double Fe2As2 layers that are separated by insulating Ca2F2 layers. The electrical and magnetic measurements on the polycrys- talline samples demonstrate that the new materials undergo superconducting transitions at Tc = 30.5 and 28.2 K, respec- tively, without extrinsic doping. The correlations between Tc and structural parameters are discussed.

We have successfully synthesized Sr 2 CuO3+δ single crystals under high pressure and high temperature for the first time. The structure analysis show that this material crystallizes into tetragonal structure isostructural La 2 CuO4 with single CuO 2 plane. The magnetic susceptibility as well as resistance measurements indicates that the bulk superconductivity with the critical transition temperature 37 K is achieved in the crystal.

Identifying the genes of unconventional high temperature superconductors

We elucidate a recently emergent framework in unifying the two families of high temperature （high To） superconductors, cuprates and iron-based superconductors. The unification suggests that the latter is simply the counterpart of the former to realize robust extended s-wave pairing symmetries in a square lattice. The unification identifies that the key ingredients （gene） of high Tc superconductors is a quasi two dimensional electronic environment in which the d-orbitals of cations that partic- ipate in strong in-plane couplings to the p-orbitals of anions are isolated near Fermi energy. With this gene, the superexchange magnetic interactions mediated by anions could maximize their contributions to superconductivity. Creating the gene requires special arrangements between local electronic structures and crystal lattice structures. The speciality explains why high Tc superconductors are so rare. An explicit prediction is made to realize high Tc superconductivity in Co/Ni-based materials with a quasi two dimensional hexagonal lattice structure formed by trigonal bipyramidal complexes.
