چکیده
We report bulk superconductivity induced by an isovalent doping of phosphorus in BaFe2(As1−xPx)2. The P-for-As substitution results in shrinkage of lattice, especially for the FeAs block layers. The resistivity anomaly associated with the spin-density-wave (SDW) transition in the undoped compound is gradually suppressed by the P doping. Superconductivity with the maximum Tc of 30 K emerges at x=0.32, coinciding with a magnetic quantum critical point (QCP) which is evidenced by the disappearance of SDW order and the linear temperature-dependent resistivity in the normal state. The Tc values were found to decrease with further P doping, and no superconductivity was observed down to 2 K for x ≥ 0.77. The appearance of superconductivity in the vicinity of QCP hints to the superconductivity mechanism in iron-based arsenides.

Superconductivity at 23 K in Pt doped BaFe₂As₂ single crystals.
We report superconductivity in single crystals of the new iron-pnictide system BaFe(1.90)Pt(0.10)As(2) grown by a self-flux solution method and characterized via x-ray, transport, magnetic and thermodynamic measurements. The magnetic ordering associated with a structural transition at 139 K present in BaFe(2)As(2) is completely suppressed by substitution of 5% Fe with Pt and superconductivity i...
متن کاملSuperconductivity in undoped single crystals of BaFe(2)As(2): field and current dependence.
In previous work on undoped MFe(2)As(2), partial drops in the resistivity indicative of traces of superconductivity have been observed for some samples with M = Ba (T(c)∼20 K, up to 25% drop in ρ) and M = Ca (T(c)∼10 K, up to 45% drop in ρ). A complete drop in the resistivity to ρ = 0, along with a finite fraction of Meissner flux expulsion, has been observed for M = Sr, T(c) = 22 K. Using I...

We report the discovery of superconductivity at high pressure in SrFe(2)As(2) and BaFe(2)As(2). The superconducting transition temperatures are up to 27 K in SrFe(2)As(2) and 29 K in BaFe(2)As(2), the highest obtained for materials with pressure-induced superconductivity thus far.

The crystal structure, anisotropic electrical resistivity and magnetic susceptibility, as well as specific heat results from single crystals of BaFe2As2, BaNi2As2, and BaFeNiAs2 are surveyed. BaFe2As2 properties demonstrate the equivalence of C(T), Fisher’s d(T)/dT, and d/dT results in determining the antiferromagnetic transition at TN = 132(1) K. BaNi2As2 shows a structural phase transition ...

The crossover from superconducting gap to pseudogap is considered. We show that the superconductivity is destroyed at the temperature T c , with the superconducting gap being smoothly transformed into the pseudogap. Relations, which are of general interest, between the maximum values of the gap ∆ 1 , T c and T * are established. We presents arguments that T * as a function of the doping level x...
