Abstract
To investigate the presence and role of magnetic fluctuations below the superconducting transition temperature in Ca10(Pt4As8)(Fe2As2)5 superconductors, which exhibit static non-magnetic behavior and linear temperature-dependent electrical resistivity in the normal state, we conducted detailed measurements of electrical resistivity under magnetic fields applied along the c-axis (H//c) and the ab-plane (H//ab) to analyze the vortex creep behavior. For H//c, vortex liquid and low-temperature vortex glass phases were observed, similar to those in typical iron pnictide superconductors. In contrast, for H//ab, no vortex glass phase was observed at low temperatures, but instead, a vortex liquid phase extended over a wide temperature range was observed. This behavior has never been reported in iron pnictide systems. This suppression of the vortex glass phase is attributed to the presence of antiferromagnetic fluctuations within the superconducting dome.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Physics and Chemistry of Solids is a well-established international medium for publication of archival research in condensed matter and materials sciences. Areas of interest broadly include experimental and theoretical research on electronic, magnetic, spectroscopic and structural properties as well as the statistical mechanics and thermodynamics of materials. The focus is on gaining physical and chemical insight into the properties and potential applications of condensed matter systems.
Within the broad scope of the journal, beyond regular contributions, the editors have identified submissions in the following areas of physics and chemistry of solids to be of special current interest to the journal:
Low-dimensional systems
Exotic states of quantum electron matter including topological phases
Energy conversion and storage
Interfaces, nanoparticles and catalysts.
