Title: High-temperature superconductivity: A conventional conundrum

Abstract

High-temperature superconductivity in ultrathin films of iron selenide deposited on strontium titanate has been attributed to various exotic mechanisms, and new experiments indicate that it may be conventional, with broader implications.

Transport and dynamic properties of high temperature superconducting thin films

Miscellaneous Frenkel, A

Transport and dynamic properties of laser deposited predominantly c-axis oriented crystalline Y{sub 1}Ba{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 7{minus}x} (Y-Ba-Cu-O) superconducting thin films are investigated in this dissertation which may lead to new devices and applications and also help to understand the fundamental properties of high-Tc, materials. The transport current induced resistive transitions in Y-Ba-Cu-O superconducting thin films have been studied. It was found that the I-V curves for these films had two non-linear regimes, a gradual and an abrupt transition to the normal state. Comparative studies of I-V characteristics of thin film bridges of different geometries at the temperatures below {Tc} andmore »« less
Stripes developed at the strong limit of nematicity in FeSe film

Journal Article Li, Wei ; Zhang, Yan ; Deng, Peng ; ... - Nature Physics

A single monolayer of iron selenide grown on strontium titanate shows an impressive enhancement of superconductivity compared with the bulk, as well as a novel Fermi surface topology 2-5, extreme two-dimensionality, and the possibility of phonon-enhanced electron pairing. For films thicker than one unit cell, however, the electronic structure is markedly different, with a drastically suppressed superconductivity and strong nematicity appearing 1,5. The physics driving this extraordinary dichotomy of superconducting behaviour is far from clear. Here, we use low-temperature scanning tunnelling microscopy to study multilayers of iron selenide grown by molecular beam epitaxy, and find a stripe-type charge ordering instabilitymore »« less

Pre-formed Cooper pairs in copper oxides and LaAlO₃—SrTiO₃ heterostructures

Journal Article Božović, Ivan ; Levy, Jeremy - Nature Physics

The Bardeen–Cooper–Schrieffer theory of superconductivity and the Landau–Fermi liquid theory form the basis of our current understanding of conventional superconductors and their parent non-superconducting phases. However, some exotic superconductors do not conform to this physical picture but instead feature an unusual ‘normal’ state that is not a Fermi liquid. One explanation of this unusual behaviour is that pre-formed pairs of electrons are established above the superconducting temperature T_c. Here, we highlight recent experiments that show the likely existence of these pre-formed pairs in two rather different materials—a high-temperature cuprate superconductor and strontium titanate. Moreover, in both materials the normal statemore »« less

The Progress on Low-Cost, High-Quality, High-Temperature Superconducting Tapes Deposited by the Combustion Chemical Vapor Deposition Process

Technical Report Shoup, S S ; White, M K ; Krebs, S L ; ...

The innovative Combustion Chemical Vapor Deposition (CCVD) process is a non-vacuum technique that is being investigated to enable next generation products in several application areas including high-temperature superconductors (HTS). In combination with the Rolling Assisted Biaxially Textured Substrate (RABiTS) technology, the CCVD process has significant promise to provide low-cost, high-quality lengths of YBCO coated conductor. Over 100 meter lengths of both Ni and Ni-W (3 at. Wt.%) substrates with a surface roughness of 12-18 nm were produced. The CCVD technology has been used to deposit both buffer layer coatings as well as YBCO superconducting layers. Buffer layer architecture of strontiummore »« less

Tunneling Hot Spots in Ferroelectric SrTiO₃

Journal Article Lu, Haidong ; Lee, Daesu ; Klyukin, Konstantin ; ... - Nano Letters

Strontium titanate (SrTiO₃) is the “silicon” in the emerging field of oxide electronics. While bulk properties of this material have been studied for decades, new unexpected phenomena have recently been discovered at the nanoscale, when SrTiO₃ forms an ultrathin film or an atomically sharp interface with other materials. One of the striking discoveries is room-temperature ferroelectricity in strain-free ultrathin films of SrTiO₃ driven by the TiSr antisite defects, which generate a local dipole moment polarizing the surrounding nanoregion. Here, we demonstrate that these polar defects are not only responsible for ferroelectricity, but also propel the appearance of highly conductive channels,more »« less
