Title: Use of Cernox thermometers in AC specific heat measurements under pressure

Abstract

We report on the resistance behavior of bare-chip Cernox thermometers under pressures up to 2 GPa, generated in a piston-cylinder pressure cell. Our results clearly show that Cernox thermometers, frequently used in low-temperature experiments due to their high sensitivity, remain highly sensitive even under applied pressure. We show that these thermometers are therefore ideally suited for measurements of heat capacity under pressure utilizing an ac oscillation technique up to at least 150 K. Our Cernox-based system is very accurate in determining changes in the specific heat as a function of pressure as demonstrated by measurements of the heat capacity on three different test cases: (i) the superconducting transition in elemental Pb (T_c = 7.2 K), (ii) the antiferromagnetic transition in the rare-earth compound GdNiGe₃ (T_N = 26 K), and (iii) the structural/magnetic transition in the iron-pnictide BaFe₂As₂ (T_s,N = 130 K). In conclusion, the chosen examples demonstrate the versatility of our technique for measuring the specific heat under the pressure of various condensed-matter systems with very different transition temperatures as well as amounts of removed entropy.

Small-moment antiferromagnetic ordering in single-crystalline La₂Ni₇

Journal Article Ribeiro, R. A. ; Bud'ko, S. L. ; Xiang, L. ; ... - Physical Review B

Single crystals of La₂Ni₇ have been grown out of a binary, La-Ni melt. Temperature dependent, zero magnetic field, specific heat, electrical resistivity, and low field magnetization measurements indicate that there is a series of antiferromagnetic phase transitions at T₁ = 61.0 ± 0.2 K, T₂ = 56.5 ± 0.2 K and T₃ = 42.2 ± 0.2 K. The three specific heat anomalies found at these temperatures qualitatively have very small entropy changes associated with them and the anisotropic M(H) data saturate at ~ 0.12 μ_B/Ni; both observations strongly suggesting the AFM order is associated with very small, itinerant, moments.

Antiferromagnetic and nematic phase transitions in $BaF e_{2} {(A s_{1 - x} P_{x})}_{2}$ studied by ac microcalorimetry and SQUID magnetometry

Journal Article Luo, X. ; Stanev, V. ; Shen, B. ; ... - Physical Review. B, Condensed Matter and Materials Physics

We study the antiferromagnetic (AFM) and structural phase transitions in single-crystal BaFe₂(As_1-x P_x)₂ (x = 0, 0.3) at temperatures T_N and T_S, respectively, by high-resolution ac microcalorimetry and SQUID magnetometry. The specific heat measurements of both as-grown and annealed BaFe₂As₂ display a sharp peak at the AFMs-tructural transitions. A kink in the entropy of annealed BaFe₂As₂ gives evidence for splitting of the two transitions by approximately 0.5 K. No additional features could be identified in the specific heat of both BaFe₂As₂ and BaFe₂(As_0.7P_0.3)₂ in the temperature regions around T* > T_S where torque measurements [S.

Pressure effects on the electron-doped high Tc superconductor BaFe2-xCoxAs2

Journal Article Ahilan, K. ; Balasubramaniam, J. ; Ning, F. L. ; ... - Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter

Application of pressure or electron doping through Co substitution into Fe sites transforms the itinerant antiferromagnet BaFe{sub 2}As{sub 2} into a superconductor with T{sub c} exceeding 20 K. We carried out systematic transport measurements of BaFe{sub 2?x}Co{sub x}As{sub 2} superconductors in pressures up to 2.5 GPa, and elucidated the interplay between the effects of electron doping and pressure. For the underdoped sample with nominal composition x = 0.08, application of pressure strongly suppresses a magnetic instability while enhancing T{sub c} by nearly a factor of two from 11 to 21 K. In contrast, the optimally doped x = 0.20 samplemore »« 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
