Title: Modification of structural disorder by hydrostatic pressure in the superconducting cuprate ${YBa}_{2} {Cu}_{3} O_{6.73}$

Abstract

Here, compelling efforts to improve the critical temperature (T_c) of superconductors have been made through high-pressure application. Understanding the underlying mechanism behind such improvements is critically important; however, much remains unclear. Here we studied ortho-III YBa₂Cu₃O_6.73 (YBCO) using x-ray scattering under hydrostatic pressure (HP) up to ~6.0GPa. We found the reinforced oxygen order of YBCO under HP, revealing an oxygen rearrangement in the Cu-O layer, which evidently shows the charge-transfer phenomenon between the CuO₂ plane and Cu-O layer. Concurrently, we also observed no disorder-pinned charge-density-wave signature in CuO₂ plane under HP. This indicates that the oxygen rearrangement modifies the quenched disorder state in the CuO₂ plane. Using these results, we appropriately explain why pressure condition can achieve higher T_c compared with the optimal T_c under ambient pressure in YBa₂Cu₃O_6+x. As an implication of these results, finally we have discussed that the change in disorder could make it easier for YBa₂Cu₃O_6+x to undergo a transition to the nematic order under an external magnetic field.

Quasi-two-dimensional fluctuations in the magnetization of $L a_{1.9} C a_{1.1} C u_{2} O_{6 + δ}$ superconductors

Journal Article Shi, Xiaoya ; Dimitrov, I. K. ; Ozaki, Toshinori ; ... - Physical Review B

We report the results of magnetization measurements with the magnetic field applied along the c axis on superconducting La_1.9Ca_1.1Cu₂O_6+δ single crystals processed under ultrahigh oxygen pressure. Strong fluctuation effects were found in both low- and high-field regimes. Scaling analysis of the high-field magnetization data near the critical temperature (T_c = 53.5K) region reveals the characteristics of critical fluctuation behavior of quasi-two-dimensional (2D) superconductivity, described by Ginzburg-Landau theory using the lowest Landau level approximation. Low-field magnetic susceptibility data can be successfully explained by the Lawrence-Doniach model for a quasi-2D superconductor, from which we obtained the a b plane Ginzburg-Landau coherence lengthmore »« less

Journal Article Zhang, Qiang ; Diao, Zhenyu ; Cao, Huibo ; ... - Physical Review B

Layered transition-metal compounds have received great attention owing to their physical properties. In this work, we present the structural, electronic, thermal, and magnetic properties of BaMn₂Sb₂ and Ba₂Mn₃Sb₂O₂ single crystals, both with the layered structure analogous to high-temperature Cu- and Fe-based superconductors. While the Mn moment in the MnSb₄ tetrahedral environment forms a long-range G-type antiferromagnetic (AFM) ordering in both BaMn₂Sb₂ (T_N1≈443K) and Ba₂Mn₃Sb₂O₂ (T_N1≈314K), a short-range AFM order is found in the intercalated MnO₂ layer at a much lower temperature (T_N2≈60K) coexisting with long-range G-type order in MnSb₄ layer in Ba₂Mn₃Sb₂O₂. The directions of the ordered moments in thesemore »« less

Nanoscale coherent intergrowthlike defects in a crystal of ${La}_{1.9} {Ca}_{1.1} {Cu}_{2} O_{6 + δ}$ made superconducting by high-pressure oxygen annealing

Journal Article Hu, Hefei ; Zhu, Yimei ; Shi, Xiaoya ; ... - Physical Review. B, Condensed Matter and Materials Physics

Superconductivity with T_c = 53.5 K has been induced in a large La₁.₉Ca₁.₁Cu₂O₆ (La-2126) single crystal by annealing in a high partial-pressure of oxygen at 1200°C. Using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) techniques, we show that a secondary Ca-doped La₂CuO₄ (La-214) phase, not present in the as-grown crystal, appears as a coherent “intergrowth” as a consequence of the annealing. A corresponding secondary superconducting transition near 13 K is evident in the magnetization measurement. In this study, electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) reveals a pre-edge peak at the O K edge in the superconducting La-2126 phase, which is absent in the as-grownmore »« less

Decomposition of $L a_{2 - x} S r_{x} Cu O_{4}$ into several $L a_{2} O_{3}$ phases at elevated temperatures in ultrahigh vacuum inside a transmission electron microscope

Journal Article Jeong, Jong Seok ; Wu, Wangzhou ; Topsakal, Mehmet ; ... - Physical Review Materials

Here, we report the decomposition of La_2–xSr_xCuO₄ into La₂O₃ and Cu nanoparticles in ultrahigh vacuum, observed by in situ heating experiments in a transmission electron microscope. The analysis of electron diffraction data reveals that the phase decomposition process starts at about 150°C and is considerably expedited in the temperature range of 350°C–450°C. Two major resultant solid phases are identified as metallic Cu and La₂O₃ by electron diffraction, simulation, and electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS) analyses. With the aid of calculations, La₂O₃ phases are further identified to be derivatives of a fluorite structure—fluorite, pyrochlore, and (distorted) bixbyite—characterized by different oxygen-vacancy order.

${}^{139}{La}$ NMR investigation of the charge and spin order in a ${La}_{1.885} {Sr}_{0.115} {CuO}_{4}$ single crystal

Journal Article Arsenault, A. ; Takahashi, S. K. ; Imai, T. ; ... - Physical Review B

¹³⁹La NMR is suited for investigations into magnetic properties of La₂CuO₄ -based cuprates in the vicinity of their magnetic instabilities, owing to the modest hyperfine interactions between ¹³⁹La nuclear spins and Cu electron spins. We report comprehensive ¹³⁹La NMR measurements on a single-crystal sample of high-T_c superconductor La 1.885 Sr 0.115 CuO₄ in a broad temperature range across the charge and spin order transitions (T charge ≃ 80 K, T neutron spin ≃ T_c = 30 K). From the high-precision measurements of the linewidth for the nuclear spin I_z = + 1 / 2 to -1/2 central transition, we show that paramagnetic line broadening sets in precisely at T charge due to enhanced spin correlations within the CuO₂ planes. Additional paramagnetic line broadening ensues below ~35 K, signaling that Cu spins in some segments of CuO₂ planes are on the verge of three-dimensional magnetic order. A static hyperfine magnetic field arising from ordered Cu moments along the ab plane, however, begins to develop only below Tmore »« less
