Abstract

Temperature-dependent electrical resistivity $ρ(T)$ in cuprate, iron-based, and nickelate superconductors represents one of unresolved problems in modern solid-state physics, because of the high absolute value of $ρ(T)$, which, in many cases, exceeds the Ioffe-Rigel criterion, and a large difference in the $ρ(T)$ shape for samples with different doping. Here I show that the nearest neighbors parallel resistivity model (arXiv: 2607.23484) can well describe the in-plane resistivity $ρ_{ab}(T)$ in iron-based superconductors (IBS) of type 11, 111, 122, 1111, 1144 and 42214 in which the spin density wave phase or nematic order is suppressed by doping. The model is based on the postulate that $ρ_{ab}(T)$ is a sum of two parallel conduction channels, where one channel is described by the Bloch-Grüneisen equation and the other by the Arrhenius hopping equation. Consequently, the variety of $ρ_{ab}(T)$ in the IBS is explained as a variation of the Debye temperature $Θ_D$ and the hopping activation energy $E_a$. The derived Debye temperatures were used to estimate the electron-phonon coupling constant $λ_{e-ph}$in the studied IBS.

Synthesis and stability of high-$T_c$ LaH$_{10\pmδ}$ films at high pressures

High-pressure hydrides hold the record for the highest superconducting critical temperatures across all classes of superconductors. Currently lanthanum decahydride, LaH$_{10}$, exhibits the highest critical temperature among binaries, with $T_c \approx$ 250 K at pressures between 140-180 GPa. Here, we report the synthesis of LaH$_{10\pmδ}$ films in two DACs at pressures of 168 GPa and 176 GPa via in situ laser heating of elemental lanthanum films with ammonia borane (NH$_3$BH$_3$) as the hydrogen donor. The high-symmetry fcc lanthanum sublattice (space group $Fm\bar3m$) is resolved using synchrotron X-ray diffraction, with unit cell parameters in excellent agreement with previous studies on bulk samples. We provide confirmation of high-$T_c$ superconductivity in LaH$_{10\pmδ}$ with highest $T_c$ of 247 K at 176 GPa evidenced in electrical measurements. The characteristic suppression of superconductivity is observed in magnetic fields. Furthermore, combined diffraction and electrical measurements reveal remarkable temporal stability of both the crystal structure and the high-$T_c$ superconductivity over the full measurement period of about 300 days post laser heating. Our work establishes film precursors using physical vapour deposition (PVD) techniques as a practical route to hydride formation, opening a pathway toward the controlled synthesis of promising ternary hydrides and the integration of micro-fabricated device geometries in diamond anvil cells.

Rashba-controlled emergence and reversal of critical-field anisotropy in p-wave magnet--superconductor hybrids

We show that tuning Rashba spin-orbit coupling can change the in-plane field direction along which an $s$-wave superconductor is most susceptible to Zeeman depairing. We consider a two-dimensional $s$-wave superconductor subject to an odd-parity exchange field induced by a $p$-wave magnet. Without Rashba coupling, the out-of-plane exchange field enhances the in-plane critical field but leaves its angular response exactly isotropic, despite the anisotropic magnetic spin texture. Minimizing the Bogoliubov--de Gennes grand potential over uniform singlet pairing, we find that increasing Rashba coupling first generates and then reverses the principal-axis critical-field contrast, switching the minimum-critical-field direction by $90^{\circ}$. Equal principal-axis fields at the intervening compensation point coexist with residual angular modulation. We interpret the reversal through competing momentum-dependent depairing contributions from the magnetic and Rashba spin textures, while the on-site singlet pairing channel remains unchanged. Direction-dependent discontinuous collapses of the order parameter further shape the critical-field curves. These results identify a tunable directional paramagnetic response within the uniform-pairing sector. In heterostructures with sufficient electrostatic tunability of interfacial Rashba coupling, this reversal would enable gate control of the easy-depairing axis without reorienting the magnetic texture.

Pressure-induced superconductivity in a bilayer metal

We propose a model that explains the mechanism of pressure-induced superconductivity in a bilayer metal. Four types of pair potentials are assumed for a Cooper pair consisting of two electrons on different layers. Absence of local inversion symmetry gives rise to the spin-orbit coupling which is antisymmetric in the two layers. We assume that external pressure enhances the hybridization between the two layers. The stability of the superconducting states is well explained by the frequency symmetry of the induced pairing correlations by these potentials. Pressure-induced superconductivity emerges when the following two conditions are realized. (i) The spin-orbit coupling induces the odd-frequency pairing correlations and suppresses superconductivity at ambient pressure. (ii) The interplay between the spin-orbit coupling and the hybridization induces the additional pairing correlation that belongs to an even-frequency symmetry class. We briefly discuss the relevance of our model to real materials.
