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.

Importance of electronic correlations for structural and magnetic properties of the iron pnictide superconductor LaFeAsO

Importance of electronic correlations for structural and magnetic properties of the iron pnictide superconductor We present calculations of structural and magnetic properties of the iron-pnictide superconductor LaFeAsO including electron-electron correlations. For this purpose we apply a fully charge self-consistent combination of density-functional theory with the dynamical mean-field theory, ...

Superconductivity 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 ...

Phonon 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...

Carbon and BN nanocones as nano carriers for 5-Fluorouracil, a DFT study

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...
