Title: Evidence of Incoherent Carriers Associated with Resonant Impurity Levels and Their Influence on Superconductivity in the Anomalous Superconductor ${Pb}_{1 - x} {Tl}_{x} Te$

Abstract

We present a combined experimental and theoretical study of the evolution of the Fermi surface of the anomalous superconductor Pb _1-xTl _xTe as a function of thallium concentration, drawing on a combination of magnetotransport measurements (Shubnikov–de Haas oscillations and the Hall coefficient), angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy, and density functional theory calculations of the electronic structure. Our results indicate that for Tl concentrations beyond a critical value, the Fermi energy coincides with resonant impurity states in Pb _1-xTl _xTe , and we rule out the presence of an additional valence band maximum at the Fermi energy. Finally, a comparison to nonsuperconducting Pb _1-xNa _xTe implies that the presence of these impurity states at the Fermi energy provides the enhanced pairing interaction and thus also the anomalously high temperature superconductivity in this material.

Shubnikov-de Haas quantum oscillations reveal a reconstructed Fermi surface near optimal doping in a thin film of the cuprate superconductor $\Pr_{1.86} {Ce}_{0.14} {CuO}_{4 \pm δ}$

Journal Article Breznay, Nicholas P. ; Hayes, Ian M. ; Ramshaw, B. J. ; ... - Physical Review B

We study magnetotransport properties of the electron-doped superconductor Pr2-xCexCuO4±δ with x=0.14 in magnetic fields up to 92 T, and observe Shubnikov-de Haas magnetic quantum oscillations. The oscillations display a single frequency F=255±10 T, indicating a small Fermi pocket that is ~1% of the two-dimensional Brillouin zone and consistent with a Fermi surface reconstructed from the large holelike cylinder predicted for these layered materials. Despite the low nominal doping, all electronic properties including the effective mass and Hall effect are consistent with overdoped compounds. Our study demonstrates that the exceptional chemical control afforded by high quality thin films will enable Fermimore »« less

Quantum oscillations in metallic ${Sb}_{2} {Te}_{2} Se$ topological insulator

Journal Article Shrestha, Keshav ; Marinova, V. ; Graf, D. ; ... - Physical Review B

Here, we have studied the magnetotransport properties of the metallic, p-type Sb ₂Te ₂Se, which is a topological insulator. Magnetoresistance shows Shubnikov–de Haas oscillations in fields above B = 15 T. The maxima and minima positions of oscillations measured at different tilt angles with respect to the B direction align with the normal component of field Bcosθ, implying the existence of a two-dimensional Fermi surface in Sb ₂Te ₂Se. The value of the Berry phase β determined from a Landau level fan diagram is very close to 0.5, further suggesting that the oscillations result from topological surface states.

Direct spectroscopic evidence for mixed-valence Tl in the low carrier-density superconductor ${Pb}_{1 - x} {Tl}_{x} Te$

Journal Article Walmsley, P. ; Liu, C. ; Palczewski, A. D. ; ... - Physical Review B

Upon doping with Tl the narrow band-gap semiconductor PbTe exhibits anomalously high-temperature superconductivity despite a very low carrier-density as well as signatures of the Kondo effect despite an absence of magnetic moments. These phenomena have been explained by invoking 2e fluctuations of the valence of the Tl dopants, but a direct measurement of the mixed valency implied by such a mechanism has not been reported to date. Here in this work we present the unambiguous observation of multiple valences of Tl in Tl-doped PbTe via photoemission spectroscopy measurements. It is shown via a quantitative analysis that the suppression of themore »« less

Electron and hole contributions to normal-state transport in the superconducting system ${Sn}_{1 - x} {In}_{x} Te$

Journal Article Zhang, Cheng ; He, Xu-Gang ; Chi, Hang ; ... - Physical Review B

Indium-doped SnTe has been of interest because the system can exhibit both topological sur- face states and bulk superconductivity. While the enhancement of the superconducting transition temperature is established, the character of the electronic states induced by indium doping remains poorly understood. We report a study of magneto-transport in a series of Sn _1-xIn _xTe single crystals with 0:1 ≤ x ≤ 0:45. From measurements of the Hall effect, we find that the dominant carrier type changes from hole-like to electron-like at x ~ 0:25; one would expect electron-like carriers if the In ions have a valence of +3.
