29 Nov 2011 | Abstract: | Inelastic light scattering studies on single crystal of electron-doped
Ca(Fe0.95Co0.05)2As2 superconductor, covering the tetragonal to orthorhombic
structural transition as well as magnetic transition at TSM ~ 140 K and
superconducting transition temperature Tc ~ 23 K, reveal evidence for
superconductivity-induced phonon renormalization; in particular the phonon mode
near 260 cm-1 shows hardening below Tc, signaling its coupling with the
superconducting gap. All the three Raman active phonon modes show anomalous
temperature dependence between room temperature and Tc i.e phonon frequency
decreases with lowering temperature. Further, frequency of one of the modes
shows a sudden change in temperature dependence at TSM. Using first-principles
density functional theory-based calculations, we show that the low temperature
phase (Tc < T < TSM) exhibits short-ranged stripe anti-ferromagnetic ordering,
and estimate the spin-phonon couplings that are responsible for these phonon
anomalies. | Source: | arXiv, 1111.6706 | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites |
