Abstract:
A series of CeFe(1-x)Co(x)AsO oxyarsenide compounds with Co doping on iron sites (x = 0-0.2) have been synthesized by a solid state reaction method. The effects of Co doping on the electrical transport properties and superconductivity were analyzed with a special emphasis on the analysis of thermopower. Undoped CeFeAsO shows an electrical resistivity anomaly at about 150 K, which was ascribed to a spin-density-wave (SDW) instability. This anomaly is suppressed and a superconducting transition occurs at T(c) = 3.2 K in CeFe(0.95)Co(0.05)AsO, the maximum superconducting transition temperature (T(c)) of 12.5 K is observed in CeFe(0.90)Co(0.10)AsO, and the thermopower is increased by the Co doping. As has been previously suggested, the emergence of superconductivity seems to be closely linked to the thermopower, and there is a close correlation between T(c) and the thermopower, both showing a similar dome-like doping dependence.

Factors Affecting Activity Coefficient
The activity coefficient value for an ion is close to one when the solution has almost zero ionic strength, i.e., when the solution shows close to ideal behavior. As the ionic strength of the solution increases from 0 to 0.1 mol/L, a decrease in the...
Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human eye.
