论文摘要

尖晶石氧化物家族中的超导性非常罕见,因为它们的良好肌肉构成性质。大约半个世纪前,liti $ _2 $ o $ _4 $成为首次报道的尖晶石化合物,显示出12k过渡温度的超导性。从那时起,进行了几次不成功的尝试来增强这种材料家族的t $ _c $。但是,在V掺杂的毫克$ _ {1-δ} $ _2 $ _2 $ _4 $薄的表面层中,在较高温度(低于16k)的最新实验[ARXIV:2209.02053]报告了超导性,而其散装对应方则保持mott米特的绝缘状态。与其他工程的MGTI $ _2 $ o $ $ _4 $薄膜相比,该材料的超导t $ _c $要高得多。从我们的第一原理分析中,我们已经确定,由于各种离子之间相当大的电荷传递,在V型MGTI $ _2 $ o _4 $的表面上,MG止动物显着降低了Jahn-Teller(JT)活性和防击磁性superexchange。降解的抗磁磁性和降低JT活性的综合作用削弱了系统的障碍,从而导致高温下超导性的出现。

Superconductivity in the family of spinel oxides is very rare owing to their robust Mott-insulating nature. About half a century ago, LiTi$_2$O$_4$ became the first reported spinel compound to show superconductivity with a 12K transition temperature. Since then, several unsuccessful attempts were made to enhance the T$_c$ of this family of materials. However, a very recent experiment [arXiv:2209.02053] has reported superconductivity at a higher temperature (below 16K), in the V-doped Mg$_{1-δ}$Ti$_2$O$_4$ thin surface layer while its bulk counterpart remains Mott insulating. The superconducting T$_c$ of this material is significantly higher compared to other engineered MgTi$_2$O$_4$ thin films grown on different substrates. From our first-principles analysis, we have identified that Mg-depletion significantly reduces Jahn-Teller (JT) activity and antiferromagnetic superexchange at the surface layer of V-doped MgTi$_2$O$_4$ due to considerable charge transfer between various ions. The combined effect of a degraded antiferromagnetic order and reduced JT activity weakens the Mottness of the system, leading to the emergence of superconductivity at higher temperatures.
