    Notes: Abstract This report surveys the considerable progress made over the last five years—such as the marketing of superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUIDs), cellular wireless filter systems, and high current leads—and assesses needs and opportunities in the areas of fundamental science, materials development, thin film and device applications, and wire and bulk applications. It examines the challenges facing high-temperature superconductivity: from the need to understand the mechanism of high-temperature superconductivity and the unusual “normal” state to the need for new instrumentation for material characterization. Advances in thin film and bulk materials are reviewed, and obstacles impeding the commercialization of HTS materials are examined.

    The crystal field in rare earth based high-temperature superconductors (1997)

    Notes: Abstract Neutron spectroscopy is a powerful tool to determine unambiguously the crystal-field (CF) potential in rare-earth (R) based high-T c superconducting materials. This technique provides detailed information on the electronic ground state of the R ions which is important to understand the thermodynamic magnetic properties as well as the observed coexistence between superconductivity and long-range magnetic ordering of the R ion sublattice at low temperatures. Moreover, the decay of the antiferromagnetic state of the parent compound as well as the evolution of the superconducting state upon doping can be directly and quantitatively monitored. It is found that the observed CF spectra separate into different local components whose spectral weights distinctly depend on the doping level, i.e., there is clear experimental evidence for cluster formation. The onset of superconductivity can be shown to result from percolation which means that the superconductivity is an inhomogeneous materials property. Since the linewidths of CF transitions directly probe the static electronic susceptibility, we discuss temperature-dependent experiments of the relaxation rate of CF excitations in both optimally doped and underdoped regimes. It is shown that there is clear evidence for the opening of an electronic gap in the normal state of underdoped superconductors. Furthermore, the relaxation behavior appears to be extremely dependent upon the energy at which the static susceptibility is being probed. The main observed features can be reproduced by considering a strongly anisotropic gap function.

    DC Electrical Resistivity Study of Granularity in YBa2CU3O7/Ag Composites (1998)

    Notes: Abstract Temperature-dependent electrical resistivity in a set of YBa2Cu3O7−x /Ag composites, all prepared under an identical sintering schedule, is analyzed to extract granularity information. The weak-link resistivity ρ wl across the grain boundaries and the percolation factor α arising due to current frustration caused by misalignment of anisotropic grains and sample defects such as voids and cracks are estimated from the residual resistivity ρ0 and the temperature coefficient of resistivity dρ/dT. Variation of these parameters with Ag vol.% quantifying the extent of granularity indicates that granularity in the composites decreases and their electrical characteristics tend to be identical to that of Ag-free YBa2Cu3O7−x single crystals and epitaxial thin films as Ag vol.% approaches a value where onset of current percolation occurs through Ag channels. The increased α and decreased ρ wl observed at higher Ag vol.% explains the larger grains in the composites with narrow size distribution.

    Effect of Ca Substitution on the Superconductivity of La2.5Y0.5CaBa3(Cu0.88Fe0.12)7O z (1998)

    Notes: Abstract The structural and superconducting properties of single-phase La2.5−y Y0.5Ca1+y Ba3 (Cu0.88Fe0.12)7O z (LYCaBCuFe) (y= 0.0−1.0) compounds with triple perovskite structure are investigated using X-ray diffraction, resistivity, a.c. susceptibility, and oxygen content measurements. Increasing Ca substitution for La resulted in a decrease in unit cell axes and volume. T c R=0 shows a marginal increase from 31 K to 37 K for y = 0.0−0.21 and thereafter it decreases with increasing y leading to zero T c R=0 at y ≥ 0.84. This shows that the suppression of T c from 80 K to 31 K by Fe doping at x = 0.12 La2.5Y0.5CaBa3(Cu1−x Fe x )7O z cannot be compensated by appropriate hole doping with Ca in LaYCaBCuFe.

    Photoinduced enhancement of superconductivity (1994)

    Notes: Abstract The photoinduced enhancement of superconductivity in RBa2Cu3O x (R=rare earth or yttrium) and Pr y R1−y Ba2Cu3O x was explored through temperature-dependent resistivity, Hall coefficient and mobility, and x-ray diffraction measurements. The increases inT c are enhanced near the metal-insulator transition, although photoinduced changes always exist in oxygendeficient samples. Several explanations, including intergrain Josephson coupling, photoassisted oxygen ordering, and the trapping of photogenerated electrons in oxygen vacancies, are discussed.

    Notes: Abstract A general acid-base equilibrium theory was proposed to explain the formation and stability of the Bi-2223 phase based on the Lewis acid-base theory, and principle of metallurgical physical chemistry. The acid-base nature of oxide was defined according to the electrostatic force between cation and oxygen anion. A series of experimental facts were systematically explained based on the theory: substitution of Bi for Ca in. the Pb-free 2223 phase, and the effect of substitution of the high-valent cation for Bi3+; oxygen-pressure atmosphere, and the heat-schocking technique on the formation and stability of the 2223 phase.

    Notes: Abstract An overview is given on anharmonic lattice vibrations originating from structural instabilities. The transverse vibrations of the chain oxygens in YBa2Cu3O7 are found to be only moderately anharmonic. Measurements of the phonon linewidths in the Cu-O bond stretching vibrations strongly support recent calculations of the electron-phonon coupling. Results are presented on superconductivity-induced frequency shifts at short wavelengths.

    Notes: Abstract Using only two principles: (i) high-temperature superconductivity requires hypercharged oxygen, and (ii) the superconducting condensates are located in those parts of the crystal structures where they are unaffected by magnetic pair breaking, we are able to explain why certain rare-earth ions R are compatible with superconductivity and others are not, in the compounds RBa2Cu3O7, RBa2Cu4O8, RBa2Cu2NbO8, R2 − z Ce z CuO4, and R2 − z Ce z Sr2Cu2NbO10. Various defects are proposed as having central roles in the superconductivity or the suppression of superconductivity in these compounds. Many experiments for testing this physical picture are suggested.

    Quantum Transition to Supersolid Phase (1999)

    ISSN: 1572-9605

    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Electrical Engineering, Measurement and Control Technology , Physics
    Notes: Abstract We study a possible coexistence of superconducting state and charge density waves which, in a broad sense, might be called a supersolid phase. We investigate the infinite dimensional (d=∞) attractive Hubbard model by applying a sublattice dependent Gutzwiller wave function $$g_{\text{A}}^{D_{\text{A}} } g_{\text{B}}^{D_{\text{B}} } |{\text{BCS}}$$ |BCS〉 as a variational wave function describing the ground state. One may naively expect that the BCS superconducting state evolves continuously to the Bose–Einstein condensed state of bipolarons as the attractive interaction increases, as far as the system is dilute. However, we show that our variational wave function has lower energy than the simple BCS wave function for all electron densities and the interaction strengths. Our variational parameters increase (g A,B→∞) as we increase the interaction strength (U→∞). The energy gap turns out to be a mixture of s and extended-s waves. In the vicinity of half-filling, we find a quantum transition from a simple superconducting phase to a supersolid phase with increase of the electron density and/or the interaction strength.

Programs include development of superconducting magnets for motors in ship propulsion systems and to generate magnetic moments in mine sweeping systems. A program to develop superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUIDs) for detection of mines and buried ordnance has successfully been demonstrated. In electronic applications, superconducting filters, resonators, and antennae are being developed for radar, communication, and space systems. Concurrent with these superconductivity programs are efforts to improve the efficiency, reliability, and affordability of refrigeration systems.

    Notes: Abstract EPR, XRD, and magnetic studies are presented for Pr0.5Re0.5Ba2Cu3O7−δ compounds (Re= La, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Dy, Ho, Y, Er, Tm, Yb, and Lu) in the orthorhombic and tetragonal (large oxygen deficiency) phase. For the samples with Re=Dy, Ho, Y, Er, Tm, Yb, and Lu in the orthorhombic phase, the transition to the superconducting state has been observed in the temperatures rangeT c between 18 and 40 K. For the samples with Nd and Yb in the tetragonal phase, EPR spectra coming from trivalent rare earth ions have been recorded. In the nonoxygenated sample Pr0.5La0.5Ba2Cu3O7−δ the EPR spectrum arising from the non-Kramers trivalent praseodymium ion has been observed. A broad EPR line appearing in all our samples was attributed to superexchange interaction between copper ions over oxygen (O 2 − ) bridges. Interestingly, for the Pr0.5Re0.5Ba0.5Cu3O7−δ (Re = Er and Lu) compounds in the tetragonal phase at liquid-nitrogen temperature, a nonresonant microwave absorption in low magnetic fields has been detected.

    Notes: Abstract Samples having the nominal composition Bi0.7Pb0.3SrCaCu1.8O y , were prepared by a solid-state reaction and characterized by energy-dispersive x-ray microanalysis, resistivity measurements, and magnetically modulated microwave absorption (MAMMA). Longer annealing times resulted in more homogeneous samples having a single superconducting transition to zero resistance at 108 and 105 K at 0.1 and 1 mA, respectively. The MAMMA measurements clearly show differences in sample homogeneity with different annealing times.

It provided for the first time a framework of understanding, into which past and subsequent observations could be fitted. It also motivated much of the research on superconductivity that followed. The background and content of the theory are described here briefly, and an attempt is made to assess the theory's impact.

    Notes: Abstract The anomalous oxygen isotope shift observed in the high-temperature superconductors La2−xSrxCuO4 and La2−xBaxCuO4 is discussed within the model of superconductivity in which the apex oxygen vibrations play the major role in the pairing mechanism. We show that the dependence of both the critical temperature and its isotope shifts on the doping level is consistently described within this model. The anomaly occurring in the isotope shift between x = 0.11 andx=0.15 is traced back to the oxygen mass exponent associated with the apex oxygen frequency.

    Submillimeter and microwave residual losses in epitaxial films of Y-Ba-Cu-O and Tl-Ca-Ba-Cu-O (1992)

    Notes: Abstract We have used a novel bolometric technique and a resonant technique to obtain accurate submillimeter and microwave residual loss data for epitaxial thin films of YBa2Cu3O7, Tl2Ca2Ba2Cu3O10, and Tl2CaBa2Cu2O8. For all films we obtain good agreement between the submillimeter and microwave data, with the residual losses in both the Y-Ba-Cu-O and Tl-Ca-Ba-Cu-O films scaling approximately as frequency squared below ∼1 THz. We are able to fit the losses in the Y-Ba-Cu-O films to a weakly coupled grain model for thea-b plane conductivity, in good agreement with results from a Kramers-Kronig analysis of the loss data. We observe strong phonon structure in the Tl-Ca-Ba-Cu-O films for frequencies between 2 and 21 THz, and are unable to fit these losses to the simple weakly coupled grain model. This is in strong contrast to the case for other high-T c superconductors such as YBa2Cu3O7, where phonon structure observed in ceramic samples is absent in epitaxial oriented films and crystals because of the electronic screening due to the high conductivity of thea-b planes.

    Notes: Abstract We report on the successful fabrication of bulk samples satisfying the nominal composition YBa2Cu3−x Te x O7−δ and containing highly single-crystal-like texture. While this type of crystal growing process is not new, our process requires only the existence of spatial temperature gradient in some parts of the common tube furnace. The samples with tellurium were found to be much more stable and better superconductors than the Y-123 specimen. Large layer textures with cross-section ∼50×500μm2 were observed to grow inside the usual bulk sample. The critical currents were measured by the d.c. magnetization method and found to be easily greater than 6000 A cm−2 for the samples with Te.

    Notes: Abstract The effect of superconducting order parameter fluctuations on the nuclear-spin relaxation rate, 1/T 1, is studied for clean two-dimensional systems by calculating the three Maki-Thomson-type diagrams which represent the lowest-order fluctuation contributions to the transverse susceptibility. For Gaussian fluctuations and for temperatures near the mean field transition temperature,T c0, we employ a weak-coupling theory in which the pair-fluctuation propagator can also include pair-breaking effects. We also go beyond the Gaussian theory and take into account the interactions between Cooper-pair fluctuations corresponding to the fourth-order Ginzburg-Landau fluctuation terms. We compare our results with previous results in the dirty limit and in 3D. We obtain a pronounced peak in 1/T1 atT c and briefly discuss possible reasons why this peak is not observed.

    Resonant tunneling in normal metal-superconductor junctions: Low-voltage conductance features and excess current (1995)

    Notes: Abstract We have studied the conductance of normal metal-superconductor junctions with a potential barrier on the interface containing localized electron states. The probabilities of the Andreev reflection and the quasiparticle transmission are calculated using a one-dimensional model with a single localized state. The conductance of the junctions with many localized states described by a uniform distribution of the bound state energies around the Fermi level is calculated in the low-temperature region. It is shown that the Andreev reflection processes assisted by the resonant tunneling result in new features of the conductance, such as a zerobias maximum, a low-energy gaplike structure, and a two-gap behavior of the conductance at applied voltages near the value corresponding to the energy gap of the superconductor. The current-voltage characteristics for high applied voltages reveal both an excess current and current deficit, depending on the parameters of the localized states and the transparency of the tunnel barrier.

    Notes: Abstract Recent infrared reflectance spectroscopy on high quality crystals of a number of HTSC systems shows thatall have finite conductivity in the frequency region of the superconducting gap. Results on untwinned YBCO from a number of laboratories show that this absorption is not due to experimental problems or sample-to-sample variations. Other materials also show absorption features in the gap region in the form of peaks. We discuss these results in terms of recent ideas of the effect of impurities in d-wave superconductors.

    Notes: Abstract A consequence of strong antiferromagnetic correlations in models of high-Tc cuprates is the appearance in photoemission (PES) calculations of considerable more weight above the Fermi momentum PF than expected for non-interacting electrons. This effect, qualitatively discussed by Kampf and Schrieffer under the name of “shadow bands”, is here quantitatively analyzed in the two dimensional Hubbard and t-J models using Monte Carlo and exact diagonalization techniques in the realistic strong coupling regime.

    Notes: Abstract A model of weakly interacting hole quasiparticles is proposed to describe the normal state of the high temperature superconductors. The effect of strong correlations is contained in the dispersion of the holes. Many-body effects induce anomalous quasiparticleflat bands similar to those observed in recent angle-resolved photoemission experiments. A model of weakly interacting hole quasiparticles is proposed to describe the physics of carriers in the cuprates. The model predicts superconductivity in the dx2-y2 channel, with a typical Tc ∼ 100K. The concept of “optimal doping” appears naturally in this model, as well as a large ratio 2Δ/κT c ∼ 5.

    Notes: Abstract At present, the symmetry of the order parameter in the high temperature superconductor YBCO is quite controversial. Recent experiments using SQUIDs and Josephson junctions appear to support competing theories, with some experiments supporting a dx2−y2 pairing symmetry for the order parameter and others a s-wave pairing symmetry. We note that a number of factors such as trapped flux, magnetic field gradients and SQUID asymmetries could lead such measurements astray. We use a Scanning SQUID Microscope and a time-reversal invariance test to resolve these experimental problems. We find the order parameter in YBCO has a time-reversal invariant dx2−y2 symmetric component. We estimate the amplitude of anyimaginary s-wave symmetric component to be less than 4% and anyreal s-wave component to be less than 82%.

    Is the pseudogap in the high Tc cuprates evidence for dynamic van Hove Jahn-Teller effects? (1995)

    Notes: Abstract Angle-resolved photoemission has demonstrated that in optimally doped YBa2Cu3O7 (YBCO) and Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8, the van Hove singularity (vHs) is pinned close to the Fermi level. Such a pinning was predicted by the vHs scenario, due to strong electron-phonon coupling. This coupling arises for a novel Jahn-Teller (JT) effect, in which a structural distortion splits the degeneracy of the two vHs's. In the lanthanum cuprates, there appears to be a sequence ofdynamic JT phases, possibly terminating in a low-temperature static JT phase. The highest-temperature JT phase corresponds to the onset of octahedral tilts in the La cuprates (pyramidal tilts in YBCO), and can be identified with the experimentally observed pseudogap phase. Here I will summarize recent experimental evidence for such a dynamic JT effect in the cuprates.

    Notes: Abstract The electronic momentum distribution n(k) of the two dimensional Hubbard model is studied for different values of the coupling U/t, electronic density 〈n 〉, and temperature, using quantum Monte Carlo techniques. A detailed analysis of the data on 8 × 8 clusters shows that features consistent with hole pockets at momenta k=(±π/2,±π/2,) appear as the system is doped away from half-filling. Our results are consistent with recent experimental data for the cuprates discussed by Aebi et al. (Phys. Rev. Lett.72, 2757 (1994)). In the range of couplings studied, the depth of the pockets is maximum at 〈n 〉 approximately 0.9, and it increases with decreasing temperature. The apparent absence of hole pockets in previous numerical studies of this model is explained.

    Notes: Abstract We consider the Eliashberg equations with an electron-phonon matrix elementg(k, k, q) possessing a low-energy cutoffξ 1. In the superconducting state, we assume that this cutoff is bound from below by the superconducting gap 2Δ. We solve for Δ andξ 1 self-consistently, as a function of temperature, and find that the ratio 2Δ(0)/Tc is very large; for parameters that we consider realistic for the cuprates, this ratio is approximately 10. This calculation applies to materials where the mean free path is long (clean limit). We also find that a hysteretic behavior is in principle possible.

    Notes: Abstract The structure of the stripes in Bi2Sr2CaCu22O8+y superconductor has been refined by polarized CuK-edge extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS). The distribution of Cu-O (planar) distances range from 1.87 Å to 1.96 Å. The results show that the in-plane CuO2 lattice distortions in the 1D modulation are large enough to form a potential barrier of widthW between the stripes of undistorted CuO2 lattice of widthL=15±0.5 Å. The calculations show that the maximum of the density of states formed by the second subband is tuned to the Fermi level.

Refinements of the structure are carried out in which the oxygen atoms at the (Hg, Mo) layer is shifted from high-symmetry position (0.5, 0.5, 0) to (x, x, 0). Magnetization and electrical resistivity measurements show that the as-prepared samples exhibit evidence for superconductivity and their superconducting properties were improved after O2 annealing with T onset c as high as 92 K.

    Notes: Abstract Thin films of (Tl,Pb)Sr2Ca0.8Y0.2Cu2O7, and (Tl,Pb)Sr2CuO5 can be grown in a single step process which involves sputter deposition from a mixed oxide target and simultaneous thermal evaporation of Tl2O. The use of a radiant heater has allowed extension of this in situ deposition process to full LaAlO3 and NdGaO3 wafers. Variations in the composition of the deposited film is 〈 4% across a 50 mm wafer while the thickness uniformity is ≍ 8%. The highest transition temperature for a (Tl,Pb)Sr2Ca0.8Y0.2 Cu2O7 film thus far is 83 K. The RMS surface roughness of (Tl,Pb)Sr2CuO5 films is uniform across the wafer and approximately 1% of the film thickness for films 20 to 100 nm thick.

While little change is found in the crystalline structure, the formed superconducting phase have the onset Tc typically above 140 K and zero-resistance Tc up to 136K. More interestingly, the processing temperature for the doped Hg-1223 can be reduced significantly to near 700 °C which is promising for thin films growth on many technologically compatible substrates.

It has been shown that the pinning strength can be significantly improved by columnar defects. The sign reversal in Hall resistivity is found to be nearly independent of pinning while the scaling behavior between Hall resistivity (ρxy) and longitudinal resistivity (ρxx) is influenced by pinning. The exponent β in the scaling law β xy ∼ β xy β decrease from 1.8 ± 0.1 to 1.5 ± 0.1 as pinning is enhanced. This results suggest that the sign reversal and the scaling are unrelated, and pinning is not the mechanism of the sign reversal.

    Dynamics of the Cu-O chain in YBa2Cu3O7−δ: Emission Mössbauer studies (1990)

    Notes: Abstract The dynamics of the Cu-O chain in YBa2Cu3O7−δ was investigated by emission Mössbauer spectroscopy, using57Co dopant to microprobe the Cu(1) site. The transformation of the 5-coordinate trigonal-bipyramidal cobalt configuration (species B) to a square-pyramidal one (species C) is induced by the zig-zag motion of the chain. The thermodynamical parameters associated with this conversion were determined, ΔH 0=38±5 kJ/mol (0.4 eV) and ΔS 0=127±20 J/K. About 40% of species C does not convert into B at all. We suggest that the inconvertible C has a static square-pyramidal configuration at twin-boundaries where the chain motion is damped. In the57Fe-doped compound, the iron atoms form linear clusters, and the Cu-O chain motion and also the B-to-C conversion is retarded in the temperature range 200–350 K. A new minor Co species similar to B (namely, B') is reported, which is presumably situated on the grain boundaries. Its nonmetallic environment is reflected in the relatively large value of isomer shift. The properties of the electric field gradient tensor at major Co(Fe) sites are also discussed.

    Singularities of phonon spectra of superconductors observed with point contacts: A theory for dirty S-N contacts (1991)

    Notes: Abstract Nonlinearities in the conductance of point contacts between a superconductor and a normal metal are considered for applied voltages larger than the energy gap Δ. The voltage dependence of the conductance and the second derivative of the current-voltage characteristic, resulting from the local electron-phonon interaction in the contact region, are obtained for the case where electrons move diffusively through the contact, their mean free path being much shorter than the contact dimensiond. The conductance nonlinear structure corresponding to peaks of the Eliashberg function is calculated for simple model examples. These results are valid when the inequalityλd 2Δ/ħD〈1 holds, whereλ is the electron-phonon coupling constant andD is the electron diffusion coefficient. The second derivative,d 2 I/dV 2, is obtained for voltages near the values corresponding to Van Hove singularities of the phonon density of states.

    Notes: Abstract A study of the environmental contamination of amorphous YBa2Cu3O7-δ fibers has been undertaken in order to determine the best method to handle these materials during the fabrication of superconducting wire. The fibers often need to be handled in organic solvents as part of the cleaning and manipulating process. In organics that are free of water, the fibers retain their mechanical strength with little carbon contamination or other ill effects. Water, however, causes premature crystallization and destroys the mechanical strength of the fibers.

    On the possibility of superconducting phase coherence through time barriers (1993)

    ISSN: 1572-9605
    Keywords: Superconductivity ; phase coherence ; time barriers
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Electrical Engineering, Measurement and Control Technology , Physics
    Notes: Abstract The possibility of the occurrence of weak coupling between the superconducting order parameters in a single superconductor before and after an ultrashot quenching of superconductivity, is analyzed. The time barrier corresponding to such a quenching of the order parameter has to be shorter than, or comparable with, the characteristic “coherence time”τ≈ħ/Δ. Such an effect is somewhat analogous to a Josephson effect in which phase difference is now considered in the time domain rather than in space. A qualitative derivation of the constitutive relation for such a weak time correlation is obtained which gives, by the duality condition, a dependence of the supercharge on the time phase difference. The role of high-T c superconductors in the detection of this coherent transient response appears to be quite relevant.

    Notes: Abstract A phenomenological theory for spin-glass superconductor, based on a generalized Ginzburg-Landau free-energy functional d0epending on superconducting and spin-glass order parameters, is presented. It is found that the coupling between the superconducting and spin-glass order assists in freezing spins by enhancing the spin-glass order parameter but acts as a pair breaking effect for superconducting order by decreasing the superconducting order parameter. The schematic behavior of several thermodynamic quantities has been discussed. It is found that all these quantities show either cusps or discontinuities at the superconducting and/or spinglass transition temperatures.

    Sign reversal of the Hall effect in YBa2(Cu1−x )3O7−δ single crystals (1995)

    Notes: Abstract We have measured the in-plane Hall effect and in-plane resistivity of cobalt-doped YBa2Cu3O7−δ (YBCO) single-crystal samples. The concentration of cobalt ranged from 1 to 3%. As the applied field was varied, a sign reversal of the Hall resistivity was seen for 1 and 2% Co-doped samples, but not for the 3% sample. Our results are expressed in terms of conductivities, as recently recommended by the work of Dorseyet al. and Kopninet al. In the mixed state just below the superconducting transition temperatureT c, the Hall conductivityσ xy is the sum of two terms,C 1/H andC 2H, whereC 1 andC 2 are field-independent but temperature-dependent. As previously observed by Ginsberg and Manson for undoped YBCO, the coefficientC 1 is approximately proportional toτ 2 andC 2 is approximately linear inτ, whereτ = 1−(T/T c ). The values ofC 1 andC 2 are presented for each cobalt concentration.

    Notes: Abstract The t-J model is studied including a long-range 1/r repulsive interaction. It is observed that charge-density-wave states become stable as the strength of the 1/r term, Vcoul, is increased. Due to this effect, the domain of stability of the superconducting phase that appears near phase separation at Vcoul=0 is not enlarged by a 1/r interaction as naively expected. Nevertheless, superconductivity exists in a finite region of parameter space, even if phase separation is suppressed.

The gold concentration was determined by EDX (energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy) as a function of the nominal (i.e., flux) composition. Up to about 4.8% of all the copper atoms can be replaced by gold. The effect of the gold doping on the superconducting transition temperature (T c ) and the transition width (ΔT c ) were determined.

    Notes: Abstract By the magnetically modulated microwave absorption method (MAMMA) we observed the modifications induced by different calcination temperatures (between 830°C and 870°C) on the 2223 phase formed in a system sintered at (855±5)°C with the starting composition Bi1.7Pb0.3Sr2Ca2Cu3O y . The presence of the 2223 phase in almost distinct states (consequently, multiple 2223 phases) in the same sample was observed. As the calcination temperature was increased up to 850°C, the highest temperature state of the 2223 phase intensified. Higher calcination temperatures resulted in the enhancement of other lower-temperature states. The homogeneity of the 2223 phase was greatly improved by annealing the samples at, 800°C for 5 min in a flowing nitrogen atmosphere. We labeled as “metastable” the lower-temperature states having excess oxygen, which, by easily losing the supplementary oxygen under the above annealing procedure, were shifted to higher temperatures.

    Notes: Abstract We briefly review a theory for the cuprates that has been recently proposed based on the movement and interaction of holes in antiferromagnetic (AF) backgrounds. A robust peak in the hole density of states (DOS) is crucial to produce a large critical temperature once a source of hole attraction is identified. The predictions of this scenario are compared with experiments. The stability of the calculations after modifying some of the original assumptions is addressed. We find that if the dispersion is changed from an antiferromagnetic band at half-filling to a tight-binding cosk x+cosk y narrow band at 〈n〉=0.87, the main conclusions of the approach remain basically the same i.e., superconductivity appears in the $$d_{x^2 - y^2 } $$ -channel andT c is enhanced by a large DOS. The main features distinguishing these ideas from more standard theories based on antiferromagnetic correlations are here discussed.
