We show that the Rashba spin-orbit interaction causes spin-twisting itinerant motion of electrons in metals and realizes the quantized cyclotron orbits of conduction electrons without an external magnetic field. From the view point of the Berry connection, the cause of this quantization is the appearance of a non-trivial Berry connection A fic = − ℏ 2 e ∇ χ ( χ is an angular variable with period 2 π ) that generates π flux (in the units of ℏ = 1 , e = 1 , c = 1 ) inside the nodal singularities of the wave function (a “Dirac string”) along the centers of spin-twisting. Since it has been shown in our previous work that the collective mode of ∇ χ is stabilized by the electron-pairing and generates supercurrent, the π -flux Dirac string created by the spin-twisting itinerant motion will be stabilized by the electron-pairing and produce supercurrent.

We have investigated the Ca -doping effects on the structural, electrical and magnetic properties of ( Pb 0.5 Cu 0.5) Sr 2( Pr 1-x Ca x Cu 2 O z( x =0-0.5) bulk ceramic samples. The electrical resistivity, thermoelectric power and magnetic susceptibility measurements reveal that the Ca doping introduces holes into the system and thereby superconductivity with onset T c, of about 36 K is induced for a phase with x =0.5. These results are discussed in conjunction with the roles of hole doping, structural changes and Pr - O hybridization in CuO 2 layers.

ABSTRACTWe have studied mixed-phase samples of bulk LazCuO4 using neutron powder diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis and resistivity measurements. Samples fired at 950°C and slowly cooled form in the K2NiF4 structure with CuO impurities for z<2 and La2O3 impurities for z>2. Neither La-vacancies nor stacking defects were found. The bulk resistivity of the samples show semiconducting behavior which is shorted at 38K by small amounts of superconducting material. The superconductivity is due to the presence of an oxygen-rich phase with stoichiometry La2CuO4.08. The occurrence of superconductivity in pure La2CuO4.08 with the same Tc as observed in the doped La1.85 Sr0.15CuO4 indicates that the excess oxygen provides the same level of doping as metal-ion substitution.

Abstract The occurrence of superconductivity in doped SrTiO3 at low carrier densities points to the presence of an unusually strong pairing interaction that has eluded understanding for several decades. We report experimental results showing the pressure dependence of the superconducting transition temperature, Tc, near to optimal doping that sheds light on the nature of this interaction. We find that Tc increases dramatically when the energy gap of the ferroelectric critical modes is suppressed, i.e., as the ferroelectric quantum critical point is approached in a way reminiscent to behaviour observed in magnetic counterparts. However, in contrast to the latter, the coupling of the carriers to the critical modes in ferroelectrics is predicted to be small. We present a quantitative model involving the dynamical screening of the Coulomb interaction and show that an enhancement of Tc near to a ferroelectric quantum critical point can arise due to the virtual exchange of longitudinal hybrid-polar-modes, even in the absence of a strong coupling to the transverse critical modes.
