AbstractSuperconductivity is among the most fascinating and well-studied quantum states of matter. Despite over 100 years of research, a detailed understanding of how features of the normal-state electronic structure determine superconducting properties has remained elusive. For instance, the ability to deterministically enhance the superconducting transition temperature by design, rather than by serendipity, has been a long sought-after goal in condensed matter physics and materials science, but achieving this objective may require new tools, techniques and approaches. Here, we report the transmutation of a normal metal into a superconductor through the application of epitaxial strain. We demonstrate that synthesizing RuO2 thin films on (110)-oriented TiO2 substrates enhances the density of states near the Fermi level, which stabilizes superconductivity under strain, and suggests that a promising strategy to create new transition-metal superconductors is to apply judiciously chosen anisotropic strains that redistribute carriers within the low-energy manifold of d orbitals.

AbstractLarge area uniform deposition of Yba2Cu3O7 (YBCO) thin films on 8 inch diameter wafers, using a 3 inch diameter sputtering target and optimized substrate rotation in a single target 90° off-axis sputtering technique, is reported. The variation in thickness, composition and superconducting properties was studied as a function of substrate position on stationary and rotating substrates. The films deposited from a 3” target on rotating substrates displayed uniform thickness (< ±5% variation) and composition (< 2.3% deviation from target stoichiometry) and a consistently high transition temperature ( Tc > 88.3°K) over an 8” diameter area.

Abstract The successful synthesis of superconducting nickelate thin films with the highest Tc ~ 15 K has reignited great enthusiasms on this class of potential analogue to high-Tc cuprates suggested decades ago. To pursue higher Tc is always an important task in studying new superconductors. Here we report for the first time the effect of pressure on the superconducting properties of infinite-layer Pr0.82Sr0.18NiO2 thin films by measuring electrical resistivity under various pressures in a cubic anvil cell apparatus. We find that the onset of superconductivity, Tconset, can be enhanced monotonically from ~ 18 K at ambient pressure to ~ 31 K without showing signatures of saturation upon increasing pressure to 12.1 GPa in the presence of liquid pressure transmitting medium. This encouraging result indicates that the Tc of infinite-layer nickelates superconductors can be further raised up by applying higher pressures or strain engineering in the heterostructure films. In addition to the pressure effect, we also discussed the influence of stress/strain on the superconducting properties of the nickelate thin films.
