    查看更多>>摘要:Efficient generation of spin polarization is very important for spintronics and quantum computation.In chiral materials without magnetic order nor spin-orbit coupling,we find a new spin selectivity effect-chiral phonon activated spin Seebeck(CPASS)effect.Starting with the nonequilibrium distribution of chiral phonons under a temperature gradient,the CPASS coefficients are computed based on the Boltzmann transport theory.With both the phonon-drag and band transport contributions,the spin accumulations generated by the CPASS effect exhibit quadratic dependence on the temperature gradient.The strength of the CPASS effect and the relative magnitude of both contributions are tunable by the chemical potential modulation.The CPASS effect,which gives a promising explanation on the traditional chiral-induced spin selectivity effect,provides opportunities for the exploration of advanced spintronic devices based on chiral materials even in the absence of any magnetic order and spin-orbit coupling.

    High-pressure synthesis of a ternary yttrium-sulfur hydride superconductor with a high Tc of approximately 235 K

    查看更多>>摘要:Ternary hydrides have attracted considerable worldwide attention owing to their potential high-temperature superconducting phases.In contrast to previously reported alloy-based ternary hydrides,we selected the rare earth metal yttrium and light element sulfur to form new yttrium-sulfur hydride superconductors as the target at high pressure,which also linked the two categories of binary clathrate YH6 and covalent H3S high-temperature superconductors.The rare earth metal ions served as carrier donors for the dissociation of H2 molecules and the formation of clathrate-like cage structures,while the light elements helped stabilize the materials.By applying high-pressure and high-temperature conditions,two possible ternary hydrides,i.e.,Im(3)m-(Y,S)H6+δ and I4/mmm-(Y,S)H4+δ,were discovered.Im(3 )m-(Y,S)H6+δ is a ternary hydride with a record superconducting transition temperature(Tc)of 235 K belonging to the single-metal hydride system,exhibiting an 11%increment in Te compared with binary Im3m-YH6.In the pressure range of 199-249 GPa,the Tc of this phase displayed a decreasing tendency but with an apparent slope change,indicating the possible structural distortions or electronic structure changes at 227 GPa.Concurrently,the ex-trapolated upper critical magnetic field Hc2 was determined to be 85 T using the Werthamer-Helfand-Hohenberg formula at 199 GPa,with a 37%increment compared with Imi(3)m-YH6.The slight volume expansion(~3%)of Im(3)m-(Y,S)H6+δ compared with that of binary Im3m-YH6 signified the possible interstitial sites of sulfur atoms filling into the hydrogen cages.The size expansion of the center atoms might attract more hydrogen atoms to stabilize the hydrogen cages,contributing to the en-hancement of Tc and Hc2 in Im(3)m-(Y,S)H6+δ.The present study demonstrates that introduction of light elements is an effective way for enhancing Tc by forming larger hydrogen cages.
