Nanoscale interplay of strain and doping in a high-temperature superconductor.

چکیده
The highest-temperature superconductors are electronically inhomogeneous at the nanoscale, suggesting the existence of a local variable that could be harnessed to enhance the superconducting pairing. Here we report the relationship between local doping and local strain in the cuprate superconductor Bi(2)Sr(2)CaCu(2)O(8+x). We use scanning tunneling microscopy to discover that the crucial oxygen dopants are periodically distributed in correlation with local strain. Our picoscale investigation of the intraunit-cell positions of all oxygen dopants provides essential structural input for a complete microscopic theory.

In this research, we aim to clarify the relationship between the structural distortion due to doping and the superconductivity existence in the FeAs4 structure. For this, we have prepared polycrystalline of NdFeAsO0.8F0.2, NdFeAs0.95Sb0.05O0.8F0.2 and Nd0.99Ca0.01FeAsO0.8F0.2 samples by one-step solid state reaction method. The structural and electrical properties of the samples were characteri...
متن کاملFirst-principles calculations on the effect of doping and biaxial tensile strain on electron-phonon coupling in graphene.
Graphene has exhibited a wealth of fascinating properties, but is also known not to be a superconductor. Remarkably, we show that graphene can be made a conventional Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer superconductor by the combined effect of charge doping and tensile strain. While the effect of doping obviously enlarges the Fermi surface, the effect of strain profoundly increases the electron-phonon cou...

In this research, the effect of silver doping on 2223 phase of ceramic superconductor Bi1.6Pb0.4Sr2Ca2Cu3Oδ (BSCCO) has been investigated. To synthesis the samples, we used solid-state reaction method and two different doping methods, namely, doping samples during making processes (batches No.1) and doping samples after making superconductor (batch No.2). With doping Ag to BSCCO, the criti...
