We use determinant quantum Monte Carlo to study the single particle properties of quasiparticles and phonons in a variant of the two-dimensional Holstein model that includes an additional non-linear electron-phonon (e-ph) interaction. We find that a small positive non-linear interaction reduces the effective coupling between the electrons and the lattice, suppresses charge-density wave (CDW) correlations, and hardens the effective phonon frequency. Conversely, a small negative non-linear interaction can enhance the e-ph coupling resulting in heavier quasiparticles, an increased tendency towards a CDW phase at all fillings, and a softened phonon frequency. An effective linear model with a renormalized interaction strength and phonon frequency can qualitatively capture this physics; however, the quantitative effects of the non-linearity on both the electronic and phononic degrees of freedom cannot be captured by such a model. These results are significant for typical non-linear coupling strengths found in real materials, indicating that non-linearity can have a significant influence on the physics of many e-ph coupled systems.

Two-dimensional (2D) crystals have emerged as a class of materials with tuneable carrier density. Carrier doping to 2D semiconductors can be used to modulate manybody interactions and to explore novel composite particles. Holstein polaron is a small composite particle of an electron carrying a cloud of self-induced lattice deformation (or phonons), which has been proposed to play a key role in high-temperature superconductivity and carrier mobility in devices. Here, we report the discovery of Holstein polarons in a surface-doped layered semiconductor, MoS2, where a puzzling 2D superconducting dome with the critical temperature of 12 K was found recently. Using a high-resolution band mapping of charge carriers, we found strong band renormalizations collectively identified as a hitherto unobserved spectral function of Holstein polarons. The unexpected short-range nature of electron-phonon (e-ph) coupling in MoS2 can be explained by its valley degeneracy that enables strong intervalley coupling mediated by acoustic phonons. The coupling strength is found to gradually increase along the superconducting dome up to the intermediate regime, suggesting bipolaronic pairing in 2D superconductivity.
We have studied structural and superconducting properties of MgB2 thin films doped with carbon during the hybrid physical-chemical vapor deposition process. A carbon-containing metalorganic precursor bis(cyclopentadienyl)magnesium was added to the ca rrier gas to achieve carbon doping. As the amount of carbon in the films increases, the resistivity increases, Tc decreases, and the upper critical field increases dramatically as compared to the clean films. The self-field Jc in the carbon-doped films is lower than that in the clean films, but Jc remains relatively high to much higher magnetic fields, indicating stronger pinning. Structurally, the doped films are textured with nano-grains and highly resistive amorphous areas at the grain boundaries. The carbon doping approach can be used to produce MgB2 materials for high magnetic field applications.

Raman spectra of polycrystalline NdFeAsO1-xFx (x=0.0, 0.1, 0.2) compound have been systematically investigated as functions of temperature and fluorine concentration. Scanning electron microscopic and Raman microscopic characterization demonstrates t hat the polycrystalline samples mainly contain two phases, i.e. superconductor NdFeAsO1-xFx compound and a MnP-type FeAs phase, with dissimilar characteristic Raman bands. It was found that fluorine doping leads to structure disorder in the insulator Nd-O layers and high temperature coefficient of Fe-As vibrational mode.
Intuitively, doping represents one of the most promising avenues for optimization of best prospect superconductors (SC) such as conventional high-pressure SCs with record critical temperatures. However, doping at high pressure (HP) is very challengin g, and there is not a proved route to achieve it in a controlled fashion. Aided by computing simulations, we show that it may be plausible to start by alloying primary materials and subsequently incorporate high ratios of hydrogen at moderates pressures ($approx$1.5 Mbar). Our theoretical results evidence the possibility to tune the electronic structure of LaH$_{10}$, increase the density of states at the Fermi level by doping of various elements and hence change their superconducting properties. We found aluminium to increase the occupation at the Fermi level by more than 30 %. Incorporation of other elements such as Si, Ge, H, Ir, Ca, and others with a varying percentage also play in favour to tune the electronic structure. More importantly, these predictions lie in experimentally attainable doping levels. Also, for the first time, we shed light on how the formation of defects and vacancies influence on the electronic structure of a HP-hydride superconductor. The concepts presented in this work can be extended to other high-pressure, hydrogen-based superconductors such as H$_3$S. Arguably, doping is one of the promising paths to reach room-temperature superconductivity, a Holy grail of condensed matter physics.
We report elastic neutron scattering and transport measurements on the Ni and Cr equivalently doped iron pnictide BaFe$_{2-2x}$Ni$_{x}$Cr$_{x}$As$_{2}$. Compared with the electron-doped BaFe$_{2-x}$Ni$_{x}$As$_{2}$, the long-range antiferromagnetic ( AF) order in BaFe$_{2-2x}$Ni$_{x}$Cr$_{x}$As$_{2}$ is gradually suppressed with vanishing ordered moment and N{e}el temperature near $x= 0.20$ without the appearance of superconductivity. A detailed analysis on the transport properties of BaFe$_{2-x}$Ni$_{x}$As and BaFe$_{2-2x}$Ni$_{x}$Cr$_{x}$As$_{2}$ suggests that the non-Fermi-liquid behavior associated with the linear resistivity as a function of temperature may not correspond to the disappearance of the static AF order. From the temperature dependence of the resistivity in overdoped compounds without static AF order, we find that the transport properties are actually affected by Cr impurity scattering, which may induce a metal-to-insulator crossover in highly doped BaFe$_{1.7-y}$Ni$_{0.3}$Cr$_{y}$As$_{2}$.
