Bose-Einstein Condensation Picture of Superconductivity in Ag2 (Ag3Pb2H2O6), Na0.05WO3 and Na0.041NH3 composites. (Dilute metals)

Abstract

Traditionally, when one describes the crystallographic structure of oxides, the oxygen ion radius r02 is assumed to be approximately equal to 1.4A. The oxygen ions occupy in this case 80-90% of the crystal volume. Metal atoms are considered then as ions playing a role of donors with rather small radius of (0.5 - 0.8) A. However, the atomic packing picture and, therefore, physical properties such as electric conductivity and superconductivity of oxides will be essentially different, if we assume r02- ~ 0.56 A. Such magnitude of the radius is known from the quantum mechanics calculations [2]. According to this picture, 80-90 % of the crystal volume is occupied by the metal atom orbitals with radius (1.3-1.9) A, while the oxygen ions play a role of acceptors, which reduce occupancy of these orbitals ("indirect" dilution of the metal). A "direct" dilution of metals takes place in stoichiometric matrices. When r02-~0.56 A, channels with diameter 3.6 A present in the hexagonal matrix Ag3Pb2H2O6 directed along the "c" axis. The channels are filled by chains of the Ag2 molecules with atomic diameter of 2.6 A and the molecule concentration n_B = 25.6 10^20 cm^-3. The Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) temperature T_cB ~ 400K is calculated for the electron effective mass value m*=7.5m_e, where m_e is the isolated electron mass. Three-dimensional networks of Na2 chains form in Na solutions in NH3 and WO3 as well (respectively, with n_B=4.71 10^20 cm^-3; T_c sim 180K; m*=5.0m_e and n_B=4.74 10^20 cm^-3; T_c sim 91K; m*=10m_e). Close magnitudes of the Ag2 and Na2 chains parameters respectively in NH3 and WO3 favors the opinion that all these structures have a composite structure and similar mechanisms of the high temperature superconductivity.

Out-of-equilibrium relaxation dynamics of the superconducting order parameter in CsV$_3$Sb$_5$

The application of a time-varying strain field drives a superconducting order parameter out of equilibrium. How the order parameter relaxes back to equilibrium depends both on the structure of the superconducting gap and on the nature of quasiparticle scattering. We report the discovery of an ultrasonic attenuation peak inside the superconducting state of the kagome superconductor CsV$_3$Sb$_5$. This peak is the natural consequence of the order parameter relaxation time matching the ultrasonic drive frequency near $T_{\rm c}$. From the measured frequency dependence of the peak, we extract a microscopic scattering time of $\tau_N = 25$ ps. This timescale is two orders of magnitude longer than the elastic scattering time as determined by resistivity measurements, but is comparable to the inelastic scattering time determined by thermal transport. Within the conventional framework of order-parameter relaxation, this implies that elastic scattering is ineffective at relaxing the superconducting condensate, consistent with a sign-preserving $s$-wave state obeying Anderson's theorem.

Eight-unit-cell electronic modulations in cuprates originating from local molecular orbitals

The pair density wave (PDW) state with eight-unit-cell (8a0) periodicity has been widely regarded as the primary order in cuprates, yet its existence and origin remain subjects of intense debate. Using spectroscopic imaging scanning tunneling microscopy, we observe spatial modulations of the electronic states with approximately 8a0 periodicity in both the superconducting and insulating regimes of hole-doped Ca2CuO2Cl2 cuprate. We find that the 8a0 spatial patterns are generated by the formation of molecular orbitals by doped holes, which organize into 4a0*4a0 plaquettes as the basic unit. Our results identify the 4a0 molecular orbital as the fundamental electronic building block in cuprates, while the 8a0 PDW represents a spatial subharmonic that emerges at sufficiently high doping.

Record-Breaking Elemental Superconductivity in Tetralayer Kagome Borophene

Superconductivity above the liquid-nitrogen temperature remains rare in two-dimensional elemental crystals, where strong covalent bonding often yields high phonon frequencies but insufficient electron-phonon coupling. Here, using first-principles calculations and fully anisotropic Migdal-Eliashberg theory, we predict tetralayer kagome borophene (TKB) stabilized by ABAB covalent stacking, as a liquid-nitrogen-temperature elemental superconductor. With a predicted critical temperature of 102 K, TKB sets a record-high value among previously reported elemental superconductors. Unlike known high-Tc boron-based superconductors dominated by in-plane sigma-bonding states and high-frequency in-plane B-B stretching modes, TKB realizes an out-of-plane s-pz-bonding-mediated pairing mechanism, in which interlayer s-pz bonding states at the Fermi level are strongly coupled to low-frequency out-of-plane vibrations of boron atoms. These results reveal a distinct out-of-plane pairing channel in multilayer borophene and establish covalent stacking engineering as a potential route for high-Tc superconductivity in two-dimensional materials.
