Recent investigations of FeSe-based superconductors have revealed the presence of two superconducting domes and suggest possible distinct pairing mechanisms. Two superconducting domes are commonly found in unconventional superconductors and exhibit unique normal states and electronic structures. In this study, we conducted electromagnetic transport measurements to establish a complete phase diagram, successfully observing the two superconducting domes in FeSeS (0 ≤ ≤ 0.

The confinement of electrons in one-dimensional (1D) space highlights the prominence of the role of electron interactions or correlations, leading to a variety of fascinating physical phenomena. The quasi-1D electron states can exhibit a unique spin texture under spin-orbit interaction (SOI) and thus could generate a robust spin current by forbidden electron backscattering. Direct detection of such 1D spin or SOI information, however, is challenging due to complicated techniques.

The recent report of near-ambient superconductivity and associated color changes in pressurized nitrogen doped lutetium hydride has triggered worldwide interest and raised major questions about the nature and underlying physics of these latest claims. Here we report synthesis and characterization of high-purity nitrogen doped lutetium hydride LuHN. We find that pressure conditions have notable effects on Lu-N and Lu-NH chemical bonding and the color changes likely stem from pressure-induced electron redistribution of nitrogen/vacancies and interaction with the LuH framework.

The 11 system in the iron-based superconducting family has become one of the most extensively studied materials in the research of high-temperature superconductivity, due to their simple structure and rich physical properties. Many exotic properties, such as multiband electronic structure, electronic nematicity, topology and antiferromagnetic order, provide strong support for the theory of high-temperature superconductivity, and have been at the forefront of condensed matter physics in the past decade. One noteworthy aspect is that a high upper critical magnetic field, large critical current density and lower toxicity give the 11 system good application prospects.

After being expected to be a promising analog to cuprates for decades, superconductivity has recently been discovered in infinite-layer nickelates, providing new opportunities to explore mechanisms of high-temperature superconductivity. However, in sharp contrast to the single-band and anisotropic superconductivity in cuprates, nickelates exhibit a multi-band electronic structure and an unexpected isotropic superconductivity as reported recently, which challenges the cuprate-like picture in nickelates. Here, it is shown that strong anisotropic magnetotransport behaviors exist in La-based nickelate films with enhanced crystallinity and superconductivity ( = 18.

The importance of electronic structure evolutions and reconstitutions is widely acknowledged for strongly correlated systems. The precise effect of pressurized Fermi surface topology on metallization and superconductivity is a much-debated topic. In this work, an evolution from insulating to metallic behavior, followed by a superconducting transition, is systematically investigated in SnS under high pressure.

The interface between magnetic material and superconductors has long been predicted to host unconventional superconductivity, such as spin-triplet pairing and topological nontrivial pairing state, particularly when spin-orbital coupling (SOC) is incorporated. To identify these unconventional pairing states, fabricating homogenous heterostructures that contain such various properties are preferred but often challenging. Here, we synthesized a trilayer-type van der Waals heterostructure of MnTe/BiTe/Fe(Te, Se), which combined s-wave superconductivity, thickness-dependent magnetism, and strong SOC.

A microwave technique suitable for investigating the AC magnetic susceptibility of small samples in the GHz frequency range is presented. The method-which is based on the use of a coplanar waveguide resonator, within the resonator perturbation approach-allows one to obtain the absolute value of the complex susceptibility, from which the penetration depth and the superfluid density can be determined. We report on the characterization of several iron-based superconducting systems, belonging to the 11, 122, 1144, and 12442 families.

The past decade has witnessed the burgeoning discovery of a variety of topological states of matter with distinct nontrivial band topologies. Thus far, most materials that have been studied possess two-dimensional or three-dimensional electronic structures, with only a few exceptions that host quasi-one-dimensional (quasi-1D) topological electronic properties. Here we present clear-cut evidence for Dirac Fermions in the quasi-1D telluride TaNiTe.

We report a study of angular-dependent magnetoresistance (AMR) with the magnetic field rotated in the plane perpendicular to the current on a CaLaFeAs single crystal, which is regarded as a 'parent' compound of 112-type iron pnictide superconductors. A pronounced AMR with twofold symmetry is observed, signifying the highly anisotropic Fermi surface. By further analyzing the AMR data, we find that the Fermi surface above the structural/antiferromagnetic (AFM) transition (T /T ) is quasi-two-dimensional (quasi-2D), as revealed by the 2D scaling behavior of the AMR, Δρ/ρ(0) (H, θ)  =  Δρ/ρ(0) (µ Hcosθ), θ being the magnetic field angle with respect to the c axis.

The temperature dependence of upper critical field μH of CaLaFeAs and CaLaFeCoAs single crystals are investigated by measuring the resistivity for the inter-plane (H//c) and in-plane (H//ab) directions in magnetic fields up to 60 T. It is found that μH(T) of both crystals for H//c presents a sublinear temperature dependence with decreasing temperature, whereas the curve of μH(T) for H//ab has a convex curvature and gradually tends to saturate at low temperatures. μH(T) in both crystals deviates from the conventional Werthamer-Helfand-Hohenberg (WHH) theoretical model without considering spin paramagnetic effect for H//c and H//ab directions.
