We have measured the transition temperature, critical field, magnetoresistance, and Hall effect for the high temperature superconductor Y-Ba-Cu-O in magnetic fields up to 23T in the temperature range 4.2 to 125K. Meissner studies at zero magnetic field were also performed in some cases. We find a strong dependence of these parameters on the relative percentage of the correct phase of Y-Ba-Cu-O in the sample. We report new results on magnetoresistance and Hall effect in these materials.

We propose a method for broadband long-wavelength photodetection using the nonlinear Hall effect in noncentrosymmetric quantum materials. The inherently quadratic relation between transverse current and input voltage at zero magnetic field is used to rectify the incident terahertz or infrared electric field into a direct current, without invoking any diode. Our photodetector operates at zero external bias with fast response speed and has zero threshold voltage. Remarkably, the intrinsic current responsivity due to the Berry curvature mechanism is a material property independent of the incident frequency or the scattering rate, which can be evaluated from first-principles electronic structure calculations. We identify the Weyl semimetal NbP and ferroelectric semiconductor GeTe for terahertz/infrared photodetection with large current responsivity without external bias.

AbstractIn order to understand the superconducting gap nature of a $$\hbox {2H-Pd}_{0.08} \hbox {TaSe}_2$$ 2H-Pd 0.08 TaSe 2 single crystal with $$T_{c} = 3.13 \text { K}$$ T c = 3.13 K , in-plane thermal conductivity $$\kappa $$ κ , in-plane London penetration depth $$\lambda _{\text {L}}$$ λ L , and the upper critical fields $$H_{c2}$$ H c 2 have been investigated. At zero magnetic field, it is found that no residual linear term $$\kappa _{0}/T$$ κ 0 / T exists and $$\lambda _{\text {L}}$$ λ L follows a power-law $$T^n$$ T n (T: temperature) with n = 2.66 at $$T \le \frac{1}{3}T_c$$ T ≤ 1 3 T c , supporting nodeless superconductivity. Moreover, the magnetic-field dependence of $$\kappa _{0}$$ κ 0 /T clearly shows a shoulder-like feature at a low field region. The temperature dependent $$H_{c2}$$ H c 2 curves for both in-plane and out-of-plane field directions exhibit clear upward curvatures near $$T_c$$ T c , consistent with the shape predicted by the two-band theory and the anisotropy ratio between the $$H_{c2}$$ H c 2 (T) curves exhibits strong temperature-dependence. All these results coherently suggest that $$\hbox {2H-Pd}_{0.08} \hbox {TaSe}_2$$ 2H-Pd 0.08 TaSe 2 is a nodeless, multiband superconductor.

AbstractThe CE phase is an extraordinary phase exhibiting the simultaneous spin, charge, and orbital ordering due to strong electron correlation. It is an ideal platform to investigate the role of the multiple orderings in the phase transitions and discover emergent properties. Here, we use a cryogenic high-field magnetic force microscope to image the phase transitions and properties of the CE phase in a Pr0.5Ca0.5MnO3 thin film. In a high magnetic field, we observed a clear suppression of magnetic susceptibility at the charge-ordering insulator transition temperature (TCOI), whereas, at the Néel temperature (TN), no significant change is observed. This observation favors the scenario of strong antiferromagnetic correlation developed below TCOI but raises questions about the Zener polaron paramagnetic phase picture. Besides, we discoverd a phase-separated surface state in the CE phase regime. Ferromagnetic phase domains residing at the surface already exist in zero magnetic field and show ultra-high magnetic anisotropy. Our results provide microscopic insights into the unconventional spin- and charge-ordering transitions and revealed essential attributes of the CE phase, highlighting unusual behaviors when multiple electronic orderings are involved.

The transverse voltage generated by a temperature gradient in a perpendicularly applied magnetic field, termed the Nernst effect, has promise for thermoelectric applications and for probing electronic structure. In magnetic materials, an anomalous Nernst effect (ANE) is possible in a zero magnetic field. We report a colossal ANE in the ferromagnetic metal UCo0.8Ru0.2Al, reaching 23 microvolts per kelvin. Uranium’s 5f electrons provide strong electronic correlations that lead to narrow bands, a known route to producing a large thermoelectric response. In addition, uranium’s strong spin-orbit coupling produces an intrinsic transverse response in this material due to the Berry curvature associated with the relativistic electronic structure. Theoretical calculations show that in UCo0.8Ru0.2Al at least 148 Weyl nodes, and two nodal lines, exist within 60 millielectron volt of the Fermi level. This work demonstrates that magnetic actinide materials can host strong Nernst and Hall responses due to their combined correlated and topological nature.

AbstractIt is widely held that disorder is essential to the existence of a finite interval of magnetic field in which the Hall conductance is quantized, i.e., for the existence of “plateaus” in the quantum Hall effect. Here, we show that the existence of a quasi-particle Wigner crystal (QPWC) results in the persistence of plateaus of finite extent even in the limit of vanishing disorder. Several experimentally detectable features that characterize the behavior in the zero disorder limit are also explored.
