Recently Kawashima has reported that, when wetted with alkanes, several forms of graphite and single-layer graphene exhibit superconductor-like properties above room temperature under ambient pressure [AIP Adv. 2013, 3, 052132; arXiv:1612.05294; arXiv:1801.09376]. Under the assumption that these seemingly unlikely properties arise from the presence of paired electrons brought about by the alkane-wetting, we explored their implications to arrive at a probable mechanism for strong electron-pairing driven by Fermi surface nesting and acoustic phonon. This mechanism explains why alkane-wetting is essential for the graphene systems to become “superconductor-like” above room temperature and why the “Tc” of alkane-wetted pitch-based graphite fibers increases almost linearly from ~363 to ~504 K with increasing the molecular weight of alkane from heptane to hexadecane. It also provides a number of experimentally-verifiable predictions, the confirmation of which will provide a strong support for the superconductivity driven by Fermi surface nesting and acoustic phonon.

AbstractNickelates are a rich class of materials, ranging from insulating magnets to superconductors. But for stoichiometric materials, insulating behavior is the norm, as for most late transition metal oxides. Notable exceptions are the 3D perovskite LaNiO3, an unconventional paramagnetic metal, and the layered Ruddlesden-Popper phases R4Ni3O10, (R = La, Pr, Nd). The latter are particularly intriguing because they exhibit an unusual metal-to-metal transition. Here, we demonstrate that this transition results from an incommensurate density wave with both charge and magnetic character that lies closer in its behavior to the metallic density wave seen in chromium metal than the insulating stripes typically found in single-layer nickelates like La2-xSrxNiO4. We identify these intertwined density waves as being Fermi surface-driven, revealing a novel ordering mechanism in this nickelate that reflects a coupling among charge, spin, and lattice degrees of freedom that differs not only from the single-layer materials, but from the 3D perovskites as well.

Nickel (111) and the interface of hexagonal boron nitride on Ni(111) serve as model systems for an itinerant ferromagnet that is truncated with vacuum or a single layer insulator. These systems are investigated with angle-scanned He I and He II photoemission. Upon formation of the h-BN/Ni(111) interface the work function drops by 1.8 eV and the minority Ni Λ3d-band shifts by 0.13 eV to higher binding energy. This indicates that the Ni magnetic moment decreases in the interface. Spin-polarized band structure calculations from bulk nickel identify the observed minority and majority bands. The experimental Fermi surface maps show that h-BN distorts a minority d-band in a way which is consistent with the decreasing magnetic moment. It can be seen that h-BN affects the scattering of the electrons. Effects in the photoemission final and initial state are recognized.
