Title: Out-of-Plane Sulfur Distortions in the Bi4O4S3 Superconductor

Abstract

The local atomic structure of the non-magnetic layered superconductor Bi4O4S3 was investigated using neutron diffraction and pair density function (PDF) analysis. Although on average, the crystal structure is well ordered, evidence for local, out–of–plane sulfur distortions is provided, which may act as a conduit for charge transfer from the SO4 blocks into the superconducting BiS2 planes. In contrast with LaO1−xFxBiS2, no sulfur distortions were detected in the planes, which indicates that charge density wave fluctuations are not supported in Bi4O4S3.

Ferro-Lattice-Distortions and Charge Fluctuations in Superconducting LaO _1- _x F _x BiS ₂

Journal Article Athauda, Anushika ; Hoffmann, Christina ; Aswartham, Saicharan ; ... - Journal of the Physical Society of Japan

Competing ferroelectric and charge density wave states have been proposed to exist in the electron–phonon coupled LaO1-xFxBiS2 superconductor. The lattice instability is proposed to arise from unstable phonon modes that can break the crystal symmetry. Using single crystal diffraction, a superlattice pattern is observed, that arises from coherent in-plane displacements of the sulfur atoms in the BiS2 superconducting planes. The distortions morph into coordinated ferrodistortive patterns with displacements in the x- and y-directions, that alternate along the c-axis. Diffuse scattering is observed along the (H0L) plane due to stacking faults but not along the (HH0) plane. The ferro-distortive pattern remainsmore »« less

Local structure of Sr ₂ CuO _3.3 , a 95 K cuprate superconductor without CuO ₂ planes

Journal Article Conradson, Steven D. ; Geballe, Theodore H. ; Jin, Changqing ; ... - Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America

The local structure of the highly “overdoped” 95 K superconductor Sr ₂ CuO _3.3 determined by Cu K X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) at 62 K in magnetically oriented samples shows that 1) the magnetization is perpendicular to the c axis; 2) at these levels of precision the Cu sublattice is tetragonal in agreement with the crystal structure; the O sublattice has 3) continuous -Cu-O- chains that orient perpendicular to an applied magnetic field; 4) approximately half-filled -Cu-O- chains that orient parallel to this field; 5) a substantial number of apical O vacancies; 6) O ions at some apical positionsmore »« less

Lattice effects observed by the isotope-difference pair density function of the YBa[sub 2][number sign]^{63/65Cu[sub 3]O[sub 6. 92] superconductor}

Journal Article Louca, D ; Kwei, G H ; Dabrowski, B ; ... - Physical Review, B: Condensed Matter

The local lattice effects in the YBa[sub 2]Cu[sub 3]O[sub 6.92] superconductor were characterized by the neutron differential pair density function (DPDF) analysis. The DPDF provides an atom specific PDF, enabling the distinction between overlapping atom pair correlations in complicated systems. It utilizes the contrast in the scattering amplitude enhanced by the different neutron scattering lengths for [sup 63]Cu and [sup 65]Cu in two isotopically pure samples with identical compositions. Significant structural distortions are observed in the superconducting planes, in association with the plane copper (Cu2). A bifurcation of the Cu2 to apical oxygen (O4) pair correlations is evident which ismore »« less

In Situ Visualization of Local Distortions in the High-T_c Molecule-Intercalated Li_x(C₅H₅N)_yFe_2–zSe₂ Superconductor

Journal Article Berdiell, Izar Capel ; Pesko, Edyta ; Lator, Elijah ; ... - Inorganic Chemistry

A time-resolved synchrotron X-ray total scattering study sheds light on the evolution of the different structural length scales involved during the intercalation of the layered iron–selenide host by organic molecular donors, aiming at the formation of the expanded-lattice Li_x(C₅H₅N)_yFe_2–zSe₂ hybrid superconductor. The intercalates are found to crystallize in the tetragonal ThCr₂Si₂-type structure at the average level, however, with an enhanced interlayer iron–selenide spacing (d = 16.2 Å) that accommodates the heterocyclic molecular spacers. Quantitative atomic pair distribution function (PDF) analysis at variable times suggests distorted FeSe₄ tetrahedral local environments that appear swollen with respect to those in the parent β-FeSe.more »« less
