Small anisotropy of the lower critical field and $s_\pm$-wave two-gap feature in single crystal LiFeAs

The in- and out-of-plane lower critical fields and magnetic penetration depths for LiFeAs were examined. The anisotropy ratio $γ_{H_{c1}}(0)$ is smaller than the expected theoretical value, and increased slightly with increasing temperature from 0.6$T_c$ to $T_c$. This small degree of anisotropy was numerically confirmed by considering electron correlation effect. The temperature dependence of the penetration depths followed a power law($\sim$$T^n$) below 0.3$T_c$, with $n$$>$3.5 for both $λ_{ab}$ and $λ_c$. Based on theoretical studies of iron-based superconductors, these results suggest that the superconductivity of LiFeAs can be represented by an extended $s_\pm$-wave due to weak impurity scattering effect. And the magnitudes of the two gaps were also evaluted by fitting the superfluid density for both the in- and out-of-plane to the two-gap model. The estimated values for the two gaps are consistent with the results of angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy and specific heat experiments.

Synthesis, anisotropy, and superconducting properties of LiFeAs single crystal

A LiFeAs single crystal with $T_c^{onset}$$\sim$19.7 K was grown successfully in a sealed tungsten crucible using the Bridgeman method. The electrical resistivity experiments revealed a ratio of room temperature to residual resistivity (RRR) of approximately 46 and 18 for the in-plane and out-of plane directions. The estimated anisotropic resistivity, $γ_ρ$=$ρ_c$ / $ρ_{ab}$, was approximately 3.3 at $T_c^{onset}$. The upper critical fields had large $H_{c2} ^{\shortparallel ab}$ and $H_{c2}^{\shortparallel c}$ values of 83.4 T and 72.5 T, respectively, and an anisotropy ratio is $γ_H$=$H_{c2}^{\shortparallel ab}$ / $H_{c2} ^{\shortparallel c}$$\sim$1.15. The high upper critical field value and small anisotropy highlight the potential use of LiFeAs in a variety of applications. The calculated critical current density $(J_c)$ from the $M$-$H$ loop is approximately 10$^3$ A/cm$^2$

The pseudogap behavior in the stoichiometric FeSe superconductor (Tc~9.4 K)

This paper reports the synthesis and superconducting behaviors of the tetragonal iron-chalcogenide superconductor FeSe. The electrical resistivity and magnetic moment measurements confirmed its superconductivity with a $T_c^{zero}$ and $T_c^{mag}$ at 9.4 K under ambient pressure. EPMA indicated the sample to have a stoichiometric Fe:Se ratio of 1:1 ($\pm$0.02). The Seebeck coefficient which was 12.3 $μ$V/K at room temperature, changed to a negative value near 200 K, indicating it to be a two carriers material. Above $T_c$, the $ρ(T)$ curve revealed an 'S' shape. Hence $dρ(T)/dT$, and $d^2ρ(T)/dT^2$ showed pseudogap-like behavior at $T^*$=110 K according to the resistivity curvature mapping (RCM) method for high $T_c$ cuprates. Moreover, the magnetoresistance $ρ_H(T)/ρ_{H=0}$ under a magnetic field and the Seebeck coefficient $S(T)$ revealed revealed pseudogap-like behavior near $T^*$. Interestingly, at the same temperature, 30 K, the sign of $S(T)$ and all signs of $d^2ρ(T)/dT^2$ changed from negative to positive above $T_c$.

Current-Induced Resonant Motion of a Magnetic Vortex Core: Effect of Nonadiabatic Spin Torque

The current-induced resonant excitation of a magnetic vortex core is investigated by means of analytical and micromagnetic calculations. We find that the radius and the phase shift of the resonant motion are not correctly described by the analytical equations because of the dynamic distortion of a vortex core. In contrast, the initial tilting angle of a vortex core is free from the distortion and determined by the nonadiabaticity of the spin torque. It is insensitive to experimentally uncontrollable current-induced in-plane Oersted field. We propose that a time-resolved imaging of the very initial trajectory of a core is essential to experimentally estimate the nonadiabaticity.
