报告摘要:
Connections among crystal chemistry, disorder and critical temperature Tc are at the forefront of superconductivity. In Fe-based superconductors Tc correlates with the average anion height above the Fe plane. By synthesizing FeSe₁₋ₓSₓ (0 ≤ x ≤ 1) single crystal alloys with atomic defects we find that their Tc is not correlated with the anion height. Instead, changes in Tc(x) and tetragonal-to-orthorombic (nematic) transition Ts(x) on cooling are correlated with Bragg plane and Fe vibrations disorder in direction orthogonal to Fe planes and thereby induced scattering rates (1/τ)(x). The disorder stems from deformed Fe(Se,S)4 tetrahedra with different Fe-Se and Fe-S bond distances. Moreover, high-temperature metallic resistivity in the region of strong disorder exceeds Mott limit and is an example of the violation of Matthiesen's rule and Mooij law which is known to be a dominant when adding moderate disorder past the Drude/Matthiassen's regime in all materials. Scattering mechanism of Mott limit-exceeding resistivity arises from strong Se/S atom disorder in tetrahedral surrounding of Fe. High sensitivity of FeSe to local symmetry breaking is further manifested in a strain-tuned fluctuation-enhanced electron phonon coupling in FeSe even in the absence of chemical disorder. Observations point to intricate connection between nanostructure details and unconventional scattering mechanism, possibly related to charge-nematic or magnetic spin fluctuations.
