Heat capacity measurements on the recently discovered geometrically frustrated beta-pyrochlore superconductor RbOs2O6 (Tc=6.4 K) yield a Sommerfeld coefficient of 44 mJ/(molf.u. K^2). This is about 4 times larger than the one found in band…
Superconducting and normal-state properties of the beta-pyrochlore oxide KOs2O6 are studied by means of thermodynamic and transport measurements. It is shown that the superconductivity is of conventional s-wave type and lies in the…
We develop a general procedure for the analysis of bulk thermodynamic data of a superconductor for samples containing a metallic non-superconducting second phase. The method is based on the condensation energy and it allows the extraction…
Electronic, magnetic, and dynamical properties of the new superconducting $\beta$-pyrochlore KOs$_2$O$_6$ and related RbOs$_2$O$_6$ and CsOs$_2$O$_6$ compounds are calculated and compared with experiment and contrasted with structurally…
We study the influence of the rattling phonons on superconductivity in $\beta$-pyrochlore KOs$_{2}$O$_{6}$ compound based on the strong-coupling Eliashberg approach. In particular, analyzing the specific heat data we find that the rattling…
Despite the intensive efforts for determining the mechanism that causes high-temperature superconductivity in copper oxide materials, no consensus on the pairing mechanism has been reached. Recent advances in high resolution angle-resolved…
Using the Eliashberg theory of superconductivity we have examined several properties of a model in which electrons are coupled only to rattling phonon modes represented by a sharp peak in the electron-phonon coupling function. Our choice of…
We investigate the Fano-type line shape of the Ba mode of Y_{1-x}Ca_xBa_2Cu_3O_{6+y} films observed in Raman spectra with A_1g symmetry. The line shape is described with an extended Fano formula that allows us to obtain the bare phonon…
To elucidate the nature of the superconducting ground state of the geometrically frustrated pyrochlore KOs2O6 (Tc=9.6K), the thermal conductivity was measured down to low temperatures (~Tc/100). We found that the quasiparticle mean free…
We report the basic thermodynamic properties of the new geometrically frustrated beta-pyrochlore bulk superconductor RbOs2O6 with a critical temperature Tc = 6.4 K. Specific heat measurements are performed in magnetic fields up to 12 T. The…
Super-high resolution laser-based angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy measurements have been carried out on a heavily overdoped (Bi,Pb)2Sr2CuO6 (Tc> 5 K) superconductor. Taking advantage of the high-precision data on the subtle change…
Superconducting transition temperature $T_C$ of some of the cubic $\beta$-phase Mo$_{1-x}$Re$_x$ alloys with x > 0.10 is an order of magnitude higher than that in the elements Mo and Re. We investigate this rather enigmatic issue of the…
Strong electron correlations are responsible both for the insulator ground state of undoped La$_2$CuO$_4$ and strong antiferromagnetic coupling $J$ between neighbouring spins. We consider magnetic mechanism of superconducting pairing in the…
Microwave penetration depth $\lambda$ and surface resistance at 27 GHz are measured in high quality crystals of KOs$_2$O$_6$. Firm evidence for fully-gapped superconductivity is provided from $\lambda(T)$. Below the second transition at…
I study the lattice dynamics and electron-phonon coupling in non-centrosymmetric quasi-one-dimensional K$_2$Cr$_3$As$_3$ using density functional theory based first principles calculations. The phonon dispersions show stable phonons without…
We have studied the lattice dynamics, electron-phonon coupling, and superconducting properties of $\alpha$-MoB$_2$, as a function of applied pressure, within the framework of density functional perturbation theory using a mixed-basis…
Resistivity and specific heat have been measured on a single crystalline sample of the beta-pyrochlore oxide superconductor, KOs2O6. It is found that a second peak in specific heat, which may evidence an unknown phase transition, appears…
Two beta-pyrochlore oxide superconductors, CsOs2O6 and RbOs2O6, are studied thermodynamically by measuring specific heat on polycrystalline samples. It is found that a Sommerfeld coefficient ? is nearly equal, 20 mJ/K2 mol Os, in the two…
We investigate with a microscopic model anharmonic K-cation oscillation observed by neutron experiments in beta-pyrochlore superconductor KOs2O6, which also shows a mysterious first-order structural transition at Tp=7.5 K. We have…
We present the results of a crystal structure determination using neutron powder diffraction as well as the superconducting properties of the rare-earth sesquicarbide La2C3 (Tc ~ 13.4 K) by means of specific heat and upper critical field…
