碱金属富勒烯,A3 C60(A =碱金属)是一种分子超导体,在大晶格参数下会发生磁莫特绝缘态的转变。然而,尽管超导能隙的大小和对称性Δ对于理解配对机制都是至关重要的,但对于接近相关驱动磁绝缘体的超导富勒烯,它们目前是未知的。在这里,我们报告了全面的核磁共振(NMR)研究面心立方(f.c.c.)Cs3 C60多晶型,它可以通过带宽控制的莫特绝缘体-金属/超导体转变通过压力连续调谐。当压缩时,当富勒烯间的间隔较大时,超导性从绝缘状态出现时,我们观察到各向同性(s波)Δ,具有较大的带隙与超导转变温度比,2Δ0/kBTc = 5.3(2)[Δ0 = Δ(0 K)]。2Δ0/kBTc在加压时连续下降,直到接近~3.5的值,这是超导性的弱耦合BCS理论的特征,尽管Tc对富勒烯间分离的圆顶形依赖性。结果表明,电子关联的配对相互作用的金属/超导体-绝缘体边界的重要性。
The alkali fullerides, A3C60 (A = alkali metal) are molecular superconductors that undergo a transition to a magnetic Mott-insulating state at large lattice parameters. However, although the size and the symmetry of the superconducting gap, Δ, are both crucial for the understanding of the pairing mechanism, they are currently unknown for superconducting fullerides close to the correlation-driven magnetic insulator. Here we report a comprehensive nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) study of face-centred-cubic (f.c.c.) Cs3C60 polymorph, which can be tuned continuously through the bandwidth-controlled Mott insulator-metal/superconductor transition by pressure. When superconductivity emerges from the insulating state at large interfullerene separations upon compression, we observe an isotropic (s-wave) Δ with a large gap-to-superconducting transition temperature ratio, 2Δ0/kBTc = 5.3(2) [Δ0 = Δ(0 K)]. 2Δ0/kBTc decreases continuously upon pressurization until it approaches a value of ~3.5, characteristic of weak-coupling BCS theory of superconductivity despite the dome-shaped dependence of Tc on interfullerene separation. The results indicate the importance of the electronic correlations for the pairing interaction as the metal/superconductor-insulator boundary is approached.
