The electronic structure of grain-boundary of YBa2Cu3O7 doped with 3d transition-metal atoms
چکیده انگلیسی

We systemically study the electronic structures of Σ5 grain-boundary of YBa2Cu3O7 with and without dopants of 3d transition-metal atoms based on the density functional theory. The partial density of states (PDOS) shows that the electronic structure of grain boundary is very different from that of crystal and the interesting orbital-reconstruction of interface is found. Generally super-current will significantly decrease when transmitting across grain boundary. The main reasons for suppressed super-current are that (1) the carriers are not uniformly distributed near grain-boundary regions and (2) the number of CuO4-squares in CuO2 layer, which are essentially important to transport properties, sharply decreases near grain-boundary region. The preferentially substituting sites of 3d transition-metal atoms in YBa2Cu3O7 are predicted and some of them such as Co, Ni and Zn are consistent with the reported experimental analysis.


► The electronic structure of GB is very different from that of crystal.
► The CuO4-squares in CuO2 layer are important for supercurrent but destroyed in GB.
► The density of conducting electrons is not homogeneously distributed in GB.
► The preferentially substituting sites of 3d TM atoms in YBCO are predicted.
► The GB is very helpful to explore the microscopic superconductivity of HTSC.
