Times Cited Count：19 Percentile：61.3(Physics, Applied)We have investigated the magnetic and dielectric properties of BiCuO, which has the same chemical formula as that of the parent materials of high-Tc superconductors, RCuO (R: rare earths). Magnetic measurements showed that this oxide exhibits an antiferromagnetic transition at around 40 K, owing to the localized Cu
spins. Dielectric constants were found to be about 100 at room temperature, which are smaller than those of RCuO (about 10000 at room temperature). The imaginary part of dielectric response showed the activation energy of about 0.1 eV, suggesting that the dielectric response is brought about by a transfer of Cu-3d electrons.

. Recently, it is reported that of an iron-based superconductor LaFeAsO
F
is enhanced to 35 K by doping hydrogen. These results imply that atoms of light elements, such as hydrogen and oxygen, penetrate into the crystal of iron-based superconductors and transform their structures into more useful ones for superconductivity. In this paper, we investigate how the light elements are doped in the iron-based superconductors by using the first-principles density functional theory. Furthermore, we evaluate the effects of doping on the crystal structures and electronic states and explore the origin of the enhancements.

1111 system, which has the highest 
in iron-based superconductors, is considered to be full gap 
wave based on magnetic penetration depth and neutron scattering measurements. On the other hand, a line node gap symmetry is proposed in BaFe(As,P) based on magnetic penetration depth and thermal conductivity measurements despite comparatively its high- (=30 K). Inelastic neutron scattering of BaFe(As,P) may exhibit different magnetic excitations in the 
-position or 
-dependence of a resonant peak from that of La1111 system. In this study, we performed inelastic neutron scattering measurement on 36g polycrystalline powder sample of optimally-doped BaFe(As,P) using Fermi chopper spectrometer 4SEASONS in J-PARC. We will discuss about the possible superconducting gap symmetry based on our inelastic neutron scattering results.

samples by inelastic neutron scattering. The dynamical spin susceptibility 
''(
) of the superconducting samples is found to be comparable to that of the magnetically ordered parent sample. On the other hand, ''() almost vanishes at x=0.158, where the superconducting transition temperature T
is suppressed to 7 K. This suggests that the low energy spin excitations are closely connected with high-T superconductivity. The disappearance of the spin excitations at low energy would correspond to the disappearance of the hole Fermi surface as the electron concentration increases with doping, as observed in ARPES measurements of BaFe
CoAs at x=0.15. The relationship between the spin excitation and the Fermi surface will be discussed in comparison with other iron-based superconductors.

Times Cited Count：0 Percentile：0(Physics, Applied)We construct a theory of dynamical behavior in intrinsic Josephson junction stacks (IJJ's) with multi-gap superconducting layers, motivated by recent discovery rush of highly-anisotropic iron-based superconductors with a thick perovskite block layers. The theory predicts the existence of two kinds of phase modes, one of which is the Josephson plasma mode and other of which is the Leggett's mode. The IJJ's with multiple tunneling channels have a novel energy scale, inter-band Josephson coupling on each superconducting layer which generates a mass of the Leggett's mode. We discuss a cooperative phenomena induced by such a coupling in addition to capacitive and inductive couplings between the superconducting layers.

One is the Bogoliubov-de Gennes theory in real coordinates, while the other is the Born approximation in wave-number coordinates. This paper shows that these results for low-lying excitations are identical by using Fourier transformations.

The system is repulsive Hubbard model with an two-site periodic superlattice potential. Owing to superlattice structure, the ground-state states become the Mott-type insulating state at quarter filling and band-type insulating state at half filling, respectively. We clarify the dynamical properties of time evolution when the system is non-adiabatically changed to another lattice structure. The strongly-correlated interaction an unusual pairing of fermions induced the pair hopping process. We further address the robustness of pair hopping process and possibility of superconductivity by using sudden change of the external potential.

Times Cited Count：2 Percentile：10.82(Physics, Applied)We perform first-principles calculations with a LDA+U scheme for non-doped iron based superconductor LaFeAsO, which exhibits the antiferromagnetic ordering with an unexpected low magnetic moment compared to the one predicted by the standard first-principles calculation. Consequently, we find two stable electronic structures, one of which has the high magnetic moment 
2.0 
equivalent with the previous standard calculation results, and another of which reproduces the low magnetic moment 0.3 as obtained experimentally. The former is more stable in 
=0, whereas the latter becomes preferable in an intermediate range. Moreover, the latter well explains anomalous features such as in-plane high anisotropy in magnetic excitation and transport as observed experimentally.
