retraction: Superconductivity in molecular crystals induced by charge injection

Superconductivity mediated by charge fluctuations in layered molecular crystals.

We consider the competition between superconducting, charge ordered, and metallic phases in layered molecular crystals with the theta and beta(") structures. Applying slave-boson theory to the relevant extended Hubbard model, we show that the superconductivity is mediated by charge fluctuations and the Cooper pairs have d(xy) symmetry. This is in contrast to the kappa-(BEDT-TTF)(2)X family, for...

Superconductivity induced by Ni doping in BaFe2As2 single crystals

A series of 122 phase BaFe2−xNixAs2 (x = 0, 0.055, 0.096, 0.18 and 0.23) single crystals was grown by the self-flux method and a dome-like Ni doping dependence of the superconducting transition temperature was discovered. The transition temperature T on c reaches a maximum of 20.5K at x = 0.096, and it drops to below 4K as x > 0.23. The negative thermopower in the normal state indicates that th...

Superconductivity and field-induced magnetism in Pr2-xCexCuO4 single crystals.

We report muon-spin rotation and relaxation (muSR) measurements on single crystals of the electron-doped high-T(c) superconductor Pr2-xCexCuO4. In a zero external magnetic field, superconductivity is found to coexist with dilute Cu spins that are static on the muSR time scale. In an applied field, we observe a mu(+)-Knight shift that is primarily due to the magnetic moment induced on the Pr ion...
