Research progress on identification of the high Tc superconductivity and superconducting phase in La₃Ni₂O₇ under pressure
Meng Wang
We introduce experimental investigations on the high Tc superconductivity at 80 K in the bilayer nickelate La3Ni2O7 under a 14 GPa pressure. The superconductivity emerges coincidently with a structural transition from Amam to I4/mmm. Both zero resistance and diamagnetic response, which are essential for superconductivity, were observed. A multislice electron ptychography technique was employed to visualize the oxygen. The results confirm the superconducting phase is the bilayer phase of La3Ni2O7 with low oxygen vacancies.
