High-Quality Large-Sized Single Crystals of Pb-Doped Bi2Sr2CuO6＋δ High-To Superconductors Grown with Traveling Solvent Floating Zone Method

High quality Pb-doped Bi2Sr2Cu06＋δ （Pb-Bi2201） single crystals are grown by the traveling solvent floating zone technique, with dimensions as large as - 50 min× - 5.0 min ×- 2 mm. The Pb-Bi2201 single crystals with different doping levels are obtained by the annealing process which covers a wide doping range of the overdoped region. We describe in detail the growth and annealing procedures and the characterization and physical property measurements of the Pb-Bi2201 crystals. The availability of these crystals provides a good opportunity to experimentally investigate high-To cuprate superconductors, particularly in the overdoped region.     

Common Features in Electronic Structure of the Oxypnictide Superconductors from Photoemission Spectroscopy

High resolution photoemission measurements are carried out on non-superconducting LaFeAsO parent com- pound and various superconducting RFeAs（O1-ZFx） （R=La, Ce and Pr） compounds. It is found that the parent LaFeAsO compound shows a metallic character. By extensive measurements, several common features are identified in the electronic structure of these Fe-based compounds： （1） 0.2 eV feature in the valence band, （2） a universal 13-16 meV feature, （3） near EF spectral weight suppression with decreasing temperature. These uni- versal features can provide important information about band structure, superconducting gap and pseudogap in these Fe-based materials.

Pseudogap and Superconducting Gap in SmFeAs（O1-xFx） Superconductor from Photoemission Spectroscopy

High resolution photoemission measurements are carried out on non-superconducting SmOFeAs paxent compound and superconducting SmFeAs（O1-xFx） （x = 0.12, and 0.15） compounds. The momentum-integrated spectra exhibit a clear Fermi cutoff that shows little leading-edge shift in the superconducting state. A robust feature at 13 meV is identified in all these samples. Spectral weight suppression near IF, F with decreasing temperature is observed in both undoped and doped samples that points to a possible existence of a pseudogap in these Fe-based compounds.     

Growth,characterization, and Raman spectra of the 1T phases of TiTe2, TiSe2, and TiS2

High-quality large 1$T$ phase of Ti$X_2$ ($X ={\rm Te}$, Se, and S) single crystals have been grown by chemical vapor transport using iodine as a transport agent. The samples are characterized by compositional and structural analyses, and their properties are investigated by Raman spectroscopy. Several phonon modes have been observed, including the widely reported $A_{1g}$ and $E_g$ modes, the rarely reported $E_u$ mode ($\sim$183 cm$^{-1}$ for TiTe$_2$, and $\sim$185 cm$^{-1}$ for TiS$_2$), and even the unexpected $K$ mode ($\sim$85 cm$^{-1}$) of TiTe$_2$. Most phonons harden with the decrease of temperature, except that the $K$ mode of TiTe$_2$ and the $E_u$ and "$A_{2u}$/Sh" modes of TiS$_2$ soften with the decrease of temperature. In addition, we also found phonon changes in TiSe$_2$ that may be related to charge density wave phase transition. Our results on Ti$X_2$ phonons will help to understand their charge density wave and superconductivity.
