Resonant Inelastic X-Ray Scattering Study of Electron-Exciton Coupling in High-T-c Cuprates

Fabrizio Carbone, Thorsten Schmitt, Ivan Madan, Christophe Berthod, Francesco Barantani, Yi Tseng, Dirk Van der Marel

Explaining the mechanism of superconductivity in the high-T-c cuprates requires an understanding of what causes electrons to form Cooper pairs. Pairing can be mediated by phonons, the screened Coulomb force, spin or charge fluctuations, excitons, or by a c ...

Crossover of high-energy spin fluctuations from collective triplons to localized magnetic excitations in Sr14-xCaxCu24O41 ladders

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Thorsten Schmitt, Yi Tseng

We studied the magnetic excitations in the quasi-one-dimensional (q-1D) ladder subsystem of Sr14-xCaxCu24O41 (SCCO) using Cu L-3-edge resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS). By comparing momentum-resolved RIXS spectra with high (x = 12.2) and without ( ...

Non-monotonic pressure dependence of high-field nematicity and magnetism in CeRhIn5

Philip Johannes Walter Moll, Kent Robert Shirer

CeRhIn5 provides a textbook example of quantum criticality in a heavy fermion system: Pressure suppresses local-moment antiferromagnetic (AFM) order and induces superconductivity in a dome around the associated quantum critical point (QCP) near p(c) approx ...

Two- and Three-Dimensional Superconducting Phases in the Weyl Semimetal TaP at Ambient Pressure

Maarten Ruud van Delft

The motivation to search for signatures of superconductivity in Weyl semi-metals and other topological phases lies in their potential for hosting exotic phenomena such as nonzero-momentum pairing or the Majorana fermion, a viable candidate for the ultimate ...
