Specific Heat of Ba_0.59K_0.41Fe₂As₂, an Fe-Pnictide Superconductor with T_c = 36.9 K, and a New Method for Identifying the Electron Contribution [Specific Heat of Ba_0.59K_0.41Fe₂As₂, and a New Method for Identifying the Electron Contribution: Two Electron Bands with Different Energy Gaps in the Superconducting State]

Journal Article Rotundu, Costel R. ; Forrest, Thomas R. ; Phillips, Norman E. ; ... - Journal of the Physical Society of Japan

Here, we report specific-heat measurements on Ba_0.59K_0.41Fe₂As₂, one of a family of high-T_cFe-pnictide superconductors for which the pairing interaction is of special interest. We use a new method, based on direct comparisons of α-model expressions for the electron contribution with the measured total specific heat, to extract the electron contribution. It circumvents the need in the conventional analyses for an independent, necessarily approximate, determination of the lattice contribution, which is subtracted from the total to obtain the electron contribution, and it eliminates the consequent uncertainties in the electron contribution. For Ba_0.59K_0.41Fe₂As₂ the electron density of states is comprised of contributionsmore »« less

Comparison of the low-temperature specific heat of Fe- and Co-doped Bi{sub 1.8}Pb{sub 0.2}Sr{sub 2}Ca(Cu{sub 1{minus}{ital x}}{ital M}{sub {ital x}}){sub 2}O{sub 8} ({ital M}=Fe or Co): Anomolously enhanced electronic contribution due to Fe doping

Journal Article Yu, M K ; Franck, J P - Physical Review, B: Condensed Matter

Specific-heat data of Fe-doped Bi{sub 1.8}Pb{sub 0.2}Sr{sub 2}Ca(Cu{sub 1{minus}{ital x}}Fe{sub {ital x}}){sub 2}O{sub 8} in the range 2{endash}20 K are presented for {ital x}=1, 2, 4, 6, and 8{percent}. The data are compared with our previous measurements on Co-doped bismuth-strontium-calcium-copper oxide superconductors of nominal composition Bi{sub 2}Sr{sub 2}CaCu{sub 2}O{sub 8} (BISCO 2212). Both Fe and Co are magnetic substitutions with effective moments close to their free-ion value. In the normal state the magnetic susceptibility increases by more than a factor 2 over the doping range due to effective-mass enhancement. In the superconducting state both ions act as magnetic pair breakers.more »« less

Method for Accurate Determination of the Electron Contribution: Specific Heat of Ba_0.59K_0.41Fe₂As₂

Book Rotundu, Costel R. ; Forrest, Thomas R. ; Phillips, Norman E. ; ... - High-Tc Copper Oxide Superconductors and Related Novel Materials Springer Series in Materials Science

Twenty two years after the opening of the field of high temperature superconductivity by Georg Bednorz and Alex Müller a new addition to this class of materials, namely the iron-pnictides and chalcogenides, perplexes the scientific community. Making use of the accumulated wisdom, a great deal of their physics has been “mapped” in record time using all available measurement techniques. Among these, specific-heat has been proven a powerful and unique technique in the study of physical properties of bulk materials, especially of superconductors. We report here specific-heat measurements on the nearly optimally doped iconic iron-arsenide superconductor Ba_0.59K_0.41Fe₂As₂. We use a newmore »« less

Specific heat investigation for line nodes in heavily overdoped Ba_1-xK_xFe₂As₂

Journal Article Kim, J. S. ; Stewart, G. R. ; Liu, Yong ; ... - Physical Review. B, Condensed Matter and Materials Physics

Previous research has found that the pairing symmetry in the iron-based superconductor Ba_1-xK_xFe₂As₂ changes from nodeless s-wave near optimally doped, x≈0.4-0.55 and T_c>30 K, to nodal (either d-wave or s-wave) at the pure endpoint, x=1 and T_c<4 K. Intense theoretical interest has been focused on this possibility of changing pairing symmetry, where in the transition region both order parameters would be present and time reversal symmetry would be broken. Here we report specific heat measurements in zero and applied magnetic fields down to 0.4 K of three individual single crystals, free of low temperature magnetic anomalies, of heavily overdoped Ba_1-xK_xFe₂As₂,more »« less

Structural properties of Sr{sub 0.61}Ba{sub 0.39}Nb{sub 2}O{sub 6} in the temperature range 10-500 K investigated by high-resolution neutron powder diffraction and specific heat measurements

Journal Article Schefer, J ; Pomjakushin, V ; Stuhr, U ; ... - Physical Review. B, Condensed Matter and Materials Physics

We report high-resolution neutron powder diffraction on Sr{sub 0.61}Ba{sub 0.39}Nb{sub 2}O{sub 6} in the temperature range 15-500 K. The results indicate that the low-temperature anomalies (T{<=}100 K) observed in the dielectric dispersion are due to small changes in the incommensurate modulation of the NbO{sub 6} octahedra, as no structural phase transition of the average structure was observed. This interpretation is supported by specific heat measurements, which show no latent heat, but a glass-like behavior at low temperatures. Furthermore, we find that the structural changes connected with the ferroelectric phase transition at T{sub c}{approx_equal}350 K start already at 200 K, explainingmore »« less
