Electron Correlations in the Low Carrier Density LaFeAsO
نویسندگان
چکیده
The crystal structure and numerous normal and superconducting state properties of layered tetragonal (P4/nmm) LaFeAsO, with F-doping of 11 %, are reported. Resistivity measurements give an onset transition temperature Tc = 28.2 K, and low field magnetic susceptibility data indicate bulk superconductivity. In applied magnetic field, analysis of the resistive transition results in a critical field Hc2 30 T and a coherence length GL 35 Å. An upper limit for the electron carrier concentration of 1 10 21 cm -3 is inferred from Hall data just above Tc. Strong electron-electron correlations are suggested from temperature-dependent resistivity, Seebeck coefficient, and thermal conductivity data. Anomalies near Tc are observed in both Seebeck coefficient and thermal conductivity data.

متن کاملSuperconductivity in LaFeAs1−xPxO: effect of chemical pressures and bond covalency
We report the realization of superconductivity by an isovalent doping with phosphorus in LaFeAsO. X-ray diffraction shows that, with the partial substitution of P for As, the Fe2As2 layers are squeezed while the La2O2 layers are stretched along the c-axis. Electrical resistance and magnetization measurements show emergence of bulk superconductivity at ∼10 K for the optimally-doped LaFeAs1−xPxO ...
متن کاملPhonon density of states of LaFeAsO(1-x)Fx.
We have studied the phonon density of states (PDOS) in LaFeAsO(1-x)Fx with inelastic neutron scattering methods. The PDOS of the parent compound (x=0) is very similar to the PDOS of samples optimally doped with fluorine to achieve the maximum Tc (x approximately 0.1). Good agreement is found between the experimental PDOS and first-principles calculations with the exception of a small difference...

5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) is an anticancer drug. In this work, we have investigated the electronic properties and topological analysis of interaction between 5-FU and carbon nanocone and BN nanocone. The structural stability of isomer complexes of 5-FU with carbon nanocone and BN nanocone have been investigated for two position of interactions. We have found that the most stable complexes are forme...
