Antiferromagnetic Ground State

We investigate by electrical transport the field-induced superconducting state (FISC) in the organic conductor λ- (BETS) 2 FeCl 4. Below 4 K, antiferromagnetic-insulator, metallic, and eventually superconducting (FISC) ground states are observed with increasing in-plane magnetic field. The FISC state survives between 18 and 41 T, and can be interpreted in terms of the Jaccarino-Peter effect, where the external magnetic field compensates the exchange field of aligned Fe 3+ ions. We further argue that the Fe 3+ moments are essential to stabilize the resulting singlet, two-dimensional superconducting state. Here we provide experimental evidence indicating that this state, as well as the insulating antiferromagnetic ground state, is extremely sensitive to hydrostatic pressure.

General Method

It was theoretically predicted more than 20 years ago [A. G. Lebed and K. Yamaji, Phys. Rev. Lett. 80, 2697 (1998)], that a triplet quasi-two-dimensional (Q2D) superconductor could restore its superconducting state in parallel magnetic fields, which are higher than its upper critical magnetic field, [Formula: see text]. It is very likely that, recently, such phenomenon has been experimentally discovered in the Q2D superconductor UTe2 by Nicholas Butch, Sheng Ran, and their colleagues and has been confirmed by Japanese–French team. We review our previous theoretical results using such a general method that it describes the reentrant superconductivity in the abovementioned compound and will hopefully describes the similar phenomena, which can be discovered in other Q2D superconductors.

ABSTRACTPraseodymium doped CaFe2As2 (122 structure) and CaFeAs2 (112 structure) are characterized by modulated Low Magnetic Field Microwave Absorption (LFMA) spectroscopy. In both (Pr,Ca)122 and (Pr,Ca)112 structures, a strong hysteretic LFMA is found, with a TcH of ∼30 K and ∼26 K, respectively. However, in (Pr,Ca)122, measurements also show an unusual Narrow Peak (NP) LFMA signal appearing at higher temperatures, above the lower TcH superconducting state until a TcNP of 49 K. We associate this NP LFMA with interfacial superconductivity, which has been found previously by highly anisotropic magnetization measurements. Furthermore, the absence of NP in (Pr,Ca)112 correlates with the absence of an interfacial phase. These results give useful information about the microwave signature of interfacial superconductivity present in the (Pr,Ca)122 system, and may form a roadmap towards a stabilized high temperature superconducting phase in pnictides.
