We report a new strategy to induce superconductivity in iron-based oxyarsenide. Instead of F- substitution for O2-, we employed Th4+ doping GdFeAsO with the consideration "lattice match" between Gd2O2 layers and Fe2As2 ones. As result, Tconset as high 56 K was realized Gd0.8Th0.2FeAsO polycrystalline sample. This Tc value is among highest ever discovered oxypnictides.
The discovery of high-temperature superconductivity in iron pnictides raised the possibility an unconventional superconducting mechanism multiband materials. observation Fermi-surface (FS)-dependent nodeless gaps suggested that inter-FS interactions may play a crucial role pairing. In optimally hole-doped Ba(0.6)K(0.4)Fe(2)As(2), pairing strength is enhanced simultaneously (2Delta/T(c) approximately 7) on nearly nested FS pockets, i.e., inner hole-like (alpha) and 2 hybridized electron-like...
We report bulk superconductivity induced by an isovalent doping of phosphorus in BaFe2(As1−xPx)2. The P-for-As substitution results shrinkage the lattice, especially for FeAs block layers. resistivity anomaly associated with spin-density-wave (SDW) transition undoped compound is gradually suppressed P doping. Superconductivity a maximum Tc 30 K emerges at x = 0.32, coinciding magnetic quantum critical point (QCP) which shown disappearance SDW order and linear temperature-dependent normal...
A series of 122 phase BaFe2−xNixAs2 (x=0, 0.055, 0.096, 0.18 and 0.23) single crystals was grown by the self-flux method a dome-like Ni doping dependence superconducting transition temperature discovered. The Tcon reaches maximum 20.5 K at x=0.096, it drops to below 4 as x⩾0.23. negative thermopower in normal state indicates that electron-like charge carrier indeed dominates this system. This Ni-doped system provides another example superconductivity induced electron phase.
We have studied EuFe2(As0.7P0.3)(2) by the measurements of x-ray diffraction, electrical resistivity, thermopower, magnetic susceptibility, magnetoresistance, and specific heat. Partial substitution As with P results in shrinkage lattice, which generates chemical pressure to system. It is found that undergoes a superconducting transition at 26 K, followed ferromagnetic ordering Eu2+ moments 20 K. This finding first observation superconductivity stabilized internal pressure, supplies rare...

In addition gradually open a spin gap at in-plane antiferromagnetic ordering wave vector (1, 0, 0), effect superconductivity is form three-dimensional resonance with clear dispersion along $c$ axis.

Following the discovery of superconductivity in quasi-one-dimensional K$_2$Cr$_3$As$_3$ containing [(Cr$_3$As$_3$)$^{2-}$]$_{\infty}$ chains [J. K. Bao et al., arXiv: 1412.0067 (2014)], we succeeded synthesizing an analogous compound, Rb$_2$Cr$_3$As$_3$, which also crystallizes a hexagonal lattice. The replacement K by Rb results expansion $a$ axis 3\%, indicating weaker interchain coupling Rb$_2$Cr$_3$As$_3$. Bulk emerges at 4.8 K, above normal-state resistivity shows linear temperature...
Infrared reflectivity measurements on 122 iron-pnictides reveal the existence of two electronic subsystems. The one gapped due to spin-density-wave transition in parent materials, such as EuFe$_2$As$_{2}$, is responsible for superconductivity doped compounds, like Ba(Fe$_{0.92}$Co$_{0.08})_2$As$_{2}$ and Ba(Fe$_{0.95}$Ni$_{0.05})_2$As$_{2}$. Analyzing dc resistivity scattering rate this contribution, a hidden $T^2$ dependence found, indicating that evolves out Fermi-liquid state. second...
Superconductivity (SC) and charge-density wave (CDW) are two contrasting yet relevant collective electronic states, which have received sustained interest for decades. Here, we report that, in a layered europium bismuth sulfofluoride, ${\mathrm{EuBiS}}_{2}\mathrm{F}$, CDW-like transition occurs at 280 K, below SC emerges 0.3 without any extrinsic doping. The Eu ions were found to exhibit an anomalously temperature-independent mixed valence of about +2.2, associated with the formation...
We report the synthesis, crystal structure, and physical properties of a quinary iron arsenide fluoride, KCa2Fe4As4F2. The new compound crystallizes in body-centered tetragonal lattice (space group I4/mmm, = 3.8684(2) Å, c 31.007(1) Z 2) that contains double Fe2As2 conducting layers separated by insulating Ca2F2 layers. Our measurements electrical resistivity, direct-current magnetic susceptibility, heat capacity demonstrate bulk superconductivity at 33 K
Iron-chalcogenide superconductors have emerged as a promising Majorana platform for topological quantum computation. By combining band and superconductivity in single material, they provide significant advantage to realize isolated zero modes. However, iron-chalcogenide superconductors, especially Fe(Te,Se), suffer from strong inhomogeneity which may hamper their practical application. In addition, some iron-pnictide been demonstrated surface states, yet no mode has observed inside vortices,...
The second class of high-temperature superconductors (HTSCs), iron-based pnictides and chalcogenides, necessarily contain Fe$_2$$X_2$ ("$X$" refers to a pnictogen or chalcogen element) layers, just like the first HTSCs which possess essential CuO$_2$ sheets. So far, dozens HTSCs, classified into nine groups, have been discovered. In this article, crystal-chemistry aspects known are reviewed summarized by employing "hard soft acids bases (HSAB)" concept. Based on these understandings, we...

The power-law temperature dependence, 1/T_{1}T∼T^{-γ} (γ∼0.25), is consistent with Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid. Moreover, absence Hebel-Slichter coherence...
We studied the magnetic properties of YCu$_3$(OH)$_6$Br$_2$[Br$_{1-x}$(OH)$_{x}$] ($x$ = 0.33), where Cu$^{2+}$ ions form two-dimensional kagome layers. There is no order down to 50 mK while Curie-Weiss temperature on -100 K. At zero field, low-temperature specific heat shows a $T^2$ dependence. Above 2 T, linear dependence term in emerges, and value $\gamma C/T$ increases linearly with field. Furthermore, susceptibility tends constant at $T 0$. Our results suggest that ground state...
