Title: Three-dimensional Fermi surface and small effective masses in Mo ₈ Ga ₄₁

Abstract

We report Fermi surface characteristics of Mo₈Ga₄₁, a two-gap superconductor with critical temperature T_c~10 K, obtained from quantum oscillation measurements. Four major frequencies have been observed with relatively small quastiparticle masses. Angular dependence of major frequencies indicates three-dimensional Fermi surface sheets. This argues for a relatively isotropic superconducting state and, given its relatively high T_c, shows that a search for new materials in this class could be of interest for superconducting wire applications.

Distinct Superconducting Gap on Two Bilayer-Split Fermi Surface Sheets in Bi₂Sr₂CaCu₂O_8+δ Superconductor

Journal Article Ai, Ping ; Gao, Qiang ; Liu, Jing ; ... - Chinese Physics Letters

High resolution laser-based angle-resolved photoemission measurements are carried out on an overdoped superconductor Bi₂Sr₂CaCu₂O_8+δ with a T_c of 75 K. Two Fermi surface sheets caused by bilayer splitting are clearly identified with rather different doping levels: the bonding sheet corresponds to a doping level of 0.14, which is slightly underdoped while the antibonding sheet has a doping of 0.27 that is heavily overdoped, giving an overall doping level of 0.20 for the sample. Different superconducting gap sizes on the two Fermi surface sheets are revealed. The superconducting gap on the antibonding Fermi surface sheet follows a standard d-wave form whilemore »« less

Small superconducting gap on part of the Fermi surface of YNi{sub 2}B{sub 2}C from the de Haas{endash}van Alphen effect

Journal Article Terashima, T ; Haworth, C ; Takeya, H ; ... - Physical Review, B: Condensed Matter

The de Haas{endash}van Alphen oscillation coming from a small electron pocket in the borocarbide superconductor YNi{sub 2}B{sub 2}C (H{sub c2}=8.8 T) has been observed in the vortex state down to a surprisingly low field of 2 T. The oscillation amplitude is strongly suppressed in a field region immediately below H{sub c2} but recovers at lower fields. The observed amplitude at low fields is much larger than theoretical predictions based on a literature value of the superconducting gap. It is argued that the gap opening on this particular Fermi surface is much smaller than the gap on other parts of themore »« less

Multigap electron-phonon superconductivity in the quasi-one-dimensional pnictide K₂Mo₃As₃

Journal Article Lei, Bing-Hua ; Singh, David J. - Physical Review B

In this work, we show, using density functional calculations, that quasi-one-dimensional K₂Mo₃As₃, which is closely related to K₂Cr₃As₃ and has very similar superconducting properties, is not close to magnetism and has conventional s wave electron-phonon superconductivity. This superconductivity is of multigap character due to different coupling on different Fermi surface sheets. This is discussed in relation to the properties of this family of quasi-one-dimensional pnictide superconductors. The results show that this family of superconductors provides a unique opportunity for studying the interplay of spin fluctuations and electron-phonon superconductivity in transition metal pnictides, and offer a path for sorting out themore »« less

Superconductivity at carrier density 10 17 cm – 3 in quasi-one-dimensional Li 0.9 Mo 6 O 17

Journal Article Cohn, Joshua L. ; dos Santos, Carlos Alberto Moreira ; Neumeier, John J. - Physical Review. B

Superconductivity is a fascinating phenomenon that involves an attractive interaction by which electrons are paired and can move without electrical resistance below a critical temperature T_c. A paradigm for understanding superconductive pairing, the successful “BCS” theory, developed more than 65 years ago, is challenged by certain classes of materials for which parameters (e.g. the value of T_c, the density of electrons, etc.) fall outside the range for which BCS theory is applicable. The study of such materials is important because new physics may be revealed and because superconductivity has many potential applications in sensing and electronics.

Poor intergrain connectivity of PbMo sub 6 S sub 8 in sintered Mo-sheathed wires and the beneficial effect of hot-isostatic-pressing treatments on the transport critical current density

Journal Article Yamasaki, H ; Umeda, M ; Kosaka, S ; ... - Journal of Applied Physics; (USA)

The microstructure of Mo-sheathed Chevrel-phase superconducting wires was investigated by high-resolution scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Excess Pb forms small nodules (10--30 nm) on the Chevrel-phase grains or wetting layers between the Chevrel grains. The critical current density {ital J}{sub {ital c}} is strongly reduced when wetting layers are present. However, second-phase Mo exists as islands as large as 2--10 {mu}m and has little harmful effect on {ital J}{sub {ital c}}. Although some Mo-sheathed wires sintered at 700 {degree}C show relatively high {ital J}{sub {ital c}} ( {ge} 2 {times} 10{sup 8} A/m{sup 2} at 8 T), the Chevrel phase inmore »« less
