Abstract

Recent efforts at Los Alamos to discover strongly correlated superconductors and hard ferromagnets are reviewed. While serendipity remains a principal engine of materials discovery, design principles and structural building blocks are beginning to emerge that hold potential for predictive discovery. In addition, successes over the last decade with the so-called “115” strongly correlated superconductors are summarized, and more recent efforts to translate these insights and principles to novel hard magnets are discussed. While true “materials by design” remains a distant aspiration, progress is being made in coupling empirical design principles to electronic structure simulation to accelerate and guide materials design and synthesis.

Angle-Resolved Photoemission Spectroscopy on Electronic Structure and Electron-Phonon Coupling in Cuprate Superconductors

Journal Article Zhou, X J - Submitted to Book Chapter in Handbook of High-Temperature Superconductivity: Theory and Experiment (2007)

In addition to the record high superconducting transition temperature (T{sub c}), high temperature cuprate superconductors are characterized by their unusual superconducting properties below T{sub c}, and anomalous normal state properties above T{sub c}. In the superconducting state, although it has long been realized that superconductivity still involves Cooper pairs, as in the traditional BCS theory, the experimentally determined d-wave pairing is different from the usual s-wave pairing found in conventional superconductors. The identification of the pairing mechanism in cuprate superconductors remains an outstanding issue. The normal state properties, particularly in the underdoped region, have been found to be at oddmore »« less

Aggregation and Structuring of Materials and Chemicals Data from Diverse Sources

Technical Report Tassone, Christopher ; Mehta, Apurva

The overarching goal of this work was to demonstrate how data driven materials discovery which utilizes artificial intelligence can be utilized by both the industrial and academic sectors. Our objectives were four fold. First, to build the necessary tools, both experimental and computational, to demonstrate how data driven methods accelerate materials discovery in challenging design spaces for technologically important materials for which there does not exist a theoretical framework relating processing, structure, and properties. Second, to apply these tools to make break-through discoveries in two materials classes, namely wear resistant alloys and highly selective catalysts. Third, to develop the guidingmore »« less

Studies of Novel Quantum Phenomena in Ruthenates

Technical Report Mao, Zhiqiang

Strongly correlated oxides have been the subject of intense study in contemporary condensed matter physics, and perovskite ruthenates (Sr,Ca)n+1RunO3n+1 have become a new focus in this field. One of important characteristics of ruthenates is that both lattice and orbital degrees of freedom are active and are strongly coupled to charge and spin degrees of freedom. Such a complex interplay of multiple degrees of freedom causes the properties of ruthenates to exhibit a gigantic response to external stimuli under certain circumstances. Magnetic field, pressure, and chemical composition all have been demonstrated to be effective in inducing electronic/magnetic phase transitions in ruthenates.more »« less

SISGR: Atom chip microscopy: A novel probe for strongly correlated materials

Technical Report Lev, Benjamin L.

Microscopy techniques co-opted from nonlinear optics and high energy physics have complemented solid-state probes in elucidating the order manifest in condensed matter materials. Up until now, however, no attempts have been made to use modern techniques of ultracold atomic physics to directly explore properties of strongly correlated or topologically protected materials. Our current program is focused on introducing a novel magnetic field microscopy technique into the toolbox of imaging probes. Our prior DOE ESPM program funded the development of a novel instrument using a dilute gas Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) as a scanning probe capable of measuring tiny magnetic (and electric)more »« less
