DFG-RSF: Einfluss von Topologie auf die Eigenschaften von Materialien mit geordnete elektronische Zuständen
Experimentelle Physik der kondensierten Materie
Zusammenfassung der Projektergebnisse
The problem of novel material engineering is highly topical due to its potential impact on environment, natural resources saving, progress in telecommunications, and life quality, in total. In spite of almost 30 years history of cuprate HTS, the phase diagram and properties of the layered HTS materials are still actual. At the moment of application there were highly debated effects of the spin and orbital fluctuations, spin and charge ordering, many body effects (in the vicinity of the Lifshitz topological transition), and topology of the surface states (flat bands). Clearly, the role of potentially favorable factors for HTS had to be clarified for the purposeful searching and engineering novel HTS materials. The current project aimed at theoretical development and experimental implementation of the superconductors engineering based on layered materials (both pnictide, and dichalcogenide-based), studying their properties in the vicinity of QCP, clarifying the role of the interplay of magnetic ions ordering, charge ordering and SC pairing. The main idea of the project consisted in studying and use of the flat band materials, both topologically trivial, and non-trivial. The former results in the enhanced contribution of the manybody condensation energy to the SC gap due to the proximity to the Lifshitz transition, the latter – due to the non-trivial topology (Weyl semimetals). The flat band conditions in the topologically non-trivial materials were expected to be tuned using the band engineering methods (hydrostatic pressure, chemical and electric doping). All the goals of this project were achieved thanks to the collaboration of Moscow and Dresden groups.
