Title: Resonant inelastic x-ray scattering study of charge excitations in superconducting and nonsuperconducting PrFeAsO₁₋_y

Abstract

We report the first observation by momentum-resolved resonant inelastic x-ray scattering of charge excitations in an iron-based superconductor and its parent compound, PrFeAsO₀.₇ and PrFeAsO, respectively, with two main results. First, using calculations based on a 16-band dp model, we show that the energy of the lowest-lying excitations, identified as dd interband transitions of dominant xz,yz orbital character, exhibits a dramatic dependence on electron correlation. This enables us to estimate the Coulomb repulsion U and Hund's coupling J, and to highlight the role played by J in these peculiar orbital-dependent electron correlation effects. Second, we show that short-range antiferromagnetic correlations, which are a prerequisite to the occurrence of these excitations at the Γ point, are still present in the superconducting state.

Superconductivity in the presence of spin-orbit interactions stabilized by Hund coupling

Journal Article Cheung, Alfred K. C. ; Agterberg, D. F. - Physical Review B

The intraorbital repulsive Hubbard interaction cannot lead to attractive superconducting pairing states, except through the Kohn-Luttinger mechanism. This situation may change when we include additional local interactions such as the interorbital repulsion U' and Hund interactions J. Adding these local interactions, we study the nature of the superconducting pairs in systems with tetragonal crystal symmetry including the d_xz and d_yz orbitals, and in octahedral systems including all three of d_xz, d_yz, and d_xy orbitals. In the tetragonal case, spin-orbit interactions can stabilize attractive pairing channels containing a spin triplet, orbital singlet character. Here, depending on the form of spin-orbit coupling,more »« less

Electronic and magnetic properties of quasi-one-dimensional osmium halide OsCl₄

Journal Article Zhang, Yang ; Lin, Ling-Fang ; Moreo, Adriana ; ... - Applied Physics Letters

Using ab initio density functional theory, we study the electronic and magnetic properties of the van der Waals chain material OsCl₄. In the nonmagnetic state, a strongly anisotropic band structure was observed, in agreement with its anticipated one-dimensional crystal geometry. Based on Wannier functions, we found that the four electrons of the 5d Os atom form a low-spin S = 1 state, with a large crystal field between the d_xz/yz and d_xy orbitals, corresponding to a strong Jahn–Teller distortion (Q₃< 0). As a consequence, the magnetic properties are mainly contributed by the d_xz/yz states. Furthermore, when a Mott gap developsmore »« less

Magnetic and f-electron effects in LaNiO2 and NdNiO2 nickelates with cuprate-like $$$$3{d}_{{x}^{2}-{y}^{2}}$$$$ band

Journal Article Zhang, Ruiqi ; Lane, Christopher ; Singh, Bahadur ; ... - Communications Physics

Recent discovery of superconductivity in the doped infinite-layer nickelates has renewed interest in understanding the nature of high-temperature superconductivity more generally. The low-energy electronic structure of the parent compound NdNiO₂, the role of electronic correlations in driving superconductivity, and the possible relationship between the cuprates and the nickelates are still open questions. Here, by comparing LaNiO₂ and NdNiO₂ systematically within a parameter-free, all-electron first-principles density-functional theory framework, we reveal the role of Nd 4f electrons in shaping the ground state of pristine NdNiO₂. Strong similarities are found between the electronic structures of LaNiO₂ and NdNiO₂, except for the effects ofmore »« less

Lattice and magnetic structures of PrFeAsO, PrFeAsO{sub 0.85}F{sub 0.15}, and PrFeAsO{sub 0.85}

Journal Article Jun, Zhao ; Huang, Q ; Lynn, J W ; ... - Physical Review. B, Condensed Matter and Materials Physics

We use powder neutron diffraction to study the spin and lattice structures of polycrystalline samples of nonsuperconducting PrFeAsO and superconducting PrFeAsO{sub 0.85}F{sub 0.15} and PrFeAsO{sub 0.85}. We find that PrFeAsO exhibits abrupt structural phase transitions at 153 K followed by static long-range antiferromagnetic order at 127 K. Both the structural distortion and magnetic order are similar to other rare-earth oxypnictides. Electron doping the system with either fluorine or oxygen deficiency suppresses the structural distortion and static long-range antiferromagnetic order, therefore placing these materials into the same class of FeAs-based superconductors.
