Outline of Research at the Start

鉄系高温超伝導体は、大きな臨界磁場を持ち、その磁場方位異方性が小さいことから、高磁場発生磁石への応用が期待されている。超伝導磁石応用において、電気抵抗ゼロで輸送可能な最大電流密度(臨界電流密度:Jc)の向上は必須である。Jcは超伝導体そのものの特性に加え、超伝導体内の欠陥構造に大きく依存する。そこで本研究では、鉄系高温超伝導体をターゲットに、種々の単結晶試料に対して人工欠陥の導入および欠陥構造の最適化を試み、Jc向上を目指す。

Outline of Final Research Achievements

The effects of introduction of artificial defects on the critical current density (Jc) of iron-based superconductors (doped BaFe2As2) were investigated using a fast neutron irradiation technique. It was found that the chemical compositions where Jc was maximized before and after irradiation was different, and that Jc in the irradiated samples was proportional to the critical temperature (Tc) to the power of 2.25. This implies that Jc is proportional to the depairing current density (Jd), and thus Jd can be extracted from Jc measurements.
In addition, the microstructure of CaKFe4As4 was observed using scanning transmission electron microscopy, and the intergrowths of CaFe2As2 and KFe2As2 were found. These intergrowths can act as effective flux pinning centers and give rise to the high Jc of CaKFe4As4.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

鉄系超伝導体は高磁場応用材料として注目されており、臨界電流特性向上が求められている。本研究により人工欠陥の導入でJcが最大化する化学組成が変わることが明らかになり、これはJc向上の指針となる重要な成果である。加えて、Jc測定により超伝導パラメータであるJdが抽出可能であることを見出しており、応用だけでなく基礎研究でも重要な成果といえる。また、CaKFe4As4に特有の、天然の欠陥構造を見出したことは、本物質の応用ポテンシャルを裏付ける成果であり、試料の合成条件の最適化によりJc向上につながることが期待される。
