The ac magnetic susceptibility of a single crystal sample of the compound Y9Co7 has been measured in applied dc fields ranging from 0-6.7 kOe by utilizing a tunnel diode resonator circuit. In agreement with previous measurements on this material, a superconducting transition has been observed to occur at T(SC)≈2.5 K. A broad maximum has been observed in the zero field susceptibility measurements from 2.5 K < T < 8 K and its behavior with applied dc magnetic fields is consistent with that of the itinerant ferromagnet ZrZn2, which supports previous claims of itinerant ferromagnetism in this compound. The susceptibility has also been measured as a function of applied magnetic field and the results indicate that the actual Curie temperature for this system is higher than that suggested by previous reports based on Arrott plots constructed from dc magnetization.

Article Synopsis
- The text discusses how magnetic impurities on superconducting surfaces create resonances called YSR states, which are linked to the behavior of superconducting pairs.
- These resonances exhibit a periodic pattern around impurities but often have wavelengths too short to be detected with standard techniques like scanning tunneling microscopy (STM).
- The authors improve imaging by using a CO molecule with a superconducting cluster on an STM tip, allowing for the visualization of complex interference patterns from YSR states that were previously undetectable, enhancing our understanding of superconductivity at the atomic level.
Inferior Interfacial Superconductivity in 1 UC FeSe/SrVO/SrTiO with Screened Interfacial Electron-Phonon Coupling.

Single-unit cell (1 UC) FeSe interfaced with TiO or FeO exhibits significantly enhanced superconductivity compared to that of bulk FeSe, with interfacial electron-phonon coupling (EPC) playing a crucial role. However, the reduced dimensionality in 1 UC FeSe, which may drive superconducting fluctuations, complicates our understanding of the enhancement mechanisms. We construct a new superconducting interface, 1 UC FeSe/SrVO/SrTiO.

The emergence of quasiparticles in quantum many-body systems underlies the rich phenomenology in many strongly interacting materials. In the context of doped Mott insulators, magnetic polarons are quasiparticles that usually arise from an interplay between the kinetic energy of doped charge carriers and superexchange spin interactions. However, in kinetically frustrated lattices, itinerant spin polarons-bound states of a dopant and a spin flip-have been theoretically predicted even in the absence of superexchange coupling.

We apply the Migdal-Eliashberg theory of superconductivity to heavy-fermion and mixed valence materials. Specifically, we extend the Anderson lattice model to a case when there exists a strong coupling between itinerant electrons and lattice vibrations. Using the saddle-point approximation, we derive a set of coupled nonlinear equations which describe competition between the crossover to a heavy-fermion or mixed-valence regimes and conventional superconductivity.
