Preparation, scaling behavior of activation energy, Hall effect, and flux-flow anisotropy of (Hg0.9Re0.1)Ba2CaCu2O6+δHTS thin films

2004

Abstract We have prepared fully textured (Hg0.9Re0.1)Ba2CaCu2O6+δ (HgRe-1212) thin films by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) and post-annealing. The films exhibit sharp superconducting transitions at Tc=124 K with transition width ΔTc≃2 K. Conditions for reproducible film preparation have been found. The resistive transitions have been investigated in magnetic fields up to 8 T (parallel to the c-axis) and 10 T (perpendicular to the c-axis). We have determined the activation energy of thermally activated flux-motion for both magnetic field orientations. The Hall resistivity (ρxy) of HgRe-1212 superconductor thin films has been measured in the ab-plane at 8 T. In the mixed state a power-law beha…

Quantum fluctuations in ultranarrow superconducting aluminum nanowires

2008

Progressive reduction of the effective diameter of a nanowire is applied to trace evolution of the shape of the superconducting transition $R(T)$ in quasi-one-dimensional aluminum structures. In nanowires with effective diameter $\ensuremath{\leqslant}15\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\mathrm{nm}$ the $R(T)$ dependences are much wider than predicted by the model of thermally activated phase slips. The effect can be explained by quantum fluctuations of the order parameter. Negative magnetoresistance is observed in the thinnest samples. Experimental results are in reasonable agreement with existing theoretical models. The effect should have a universal validity, indicating a breakdown of the zero-…

Superconducting nanowire quantum interference device based on Nb ultrathin films deposited on self-assembled porous Si templates

2014

Magnetoresistance oscillations were observed on networks of superconducting ultrathin Nb nanowires presenting evidences of either thermal or quantum activated phase slips. The magnetic transport data, discussed in the framework of different scenarios, reveal that the system behaves coherently in the temperature range where the contribution of the fluctuations is important.

Microwave Surface Resistance and Upper-Critical-Field Anisotropy of MgB2 Superconductor

2002

The field-induced variations of the microwave surface resistance are investigated in two different samples of powdered MgB2. The experimental results can be justified in the framework of the Coffey and Clem model with fluxons moving in the flux-flow regime, provided that the anisotropy of the upper critical field is taken into due account. Assuming the angular dependence of the upper critical field expected from the anisotropic Ginzburg-Landau theory, we determine the anisotropy factor by fitting the experimental data of the field dependence of the microwave surface resistance. We show that the anisotropy factor is constant in a range of temperatures of about 3 K below Tc and it takes on di…

The quantum phase slip phenomenon in superconducting nanowires with a low-Ohmic environment

2012

In a number of recent experiments it has been demonstrated that in ultra-narrow superconducting channels quantum fluctuations of the order parameter, alternatively called quantum phase slips, are responsible for the finite resistance well below the critical temperature. The acceptable agreement between those experiments and the models describing quantum fluctuations in quasi-one-dimensional superconductors has been established. However the very concept of the phase slip is justified when these fluctuations are the relatively rare events, meaning that the effective resistance of the system should be much smaller than the normal state equivalent. In this paper we study the limit of the strong…

Magnetoresistance in the HF Metal at Zero Temperature

2014

In this chapter we consider the paradoxical behavior of the residual resistivity \(\rho _0\) of HF metals in magnetic fields and under pressure. Our consideration is based on the idea of flattening of the single-particle spectrum \(\varepsilon (\mathbf{p})\) that profoundly effects on the specific heat \(C\), thermal expansion coefficient \(\alpha \) and magnetic susceptibility \(\chi \) in the normal state, the jump of \(C\) at the point of superconducting phase transition etc. We show that FC associated with flat bands contributes to the residual resistivity \(\rho _0\), while the application of the magnetic field or pressure to the system with a flat band removes the flat band and leads …

Anomalous magnetic hysteresis in the microwave surface resistance of MgB2 superconductor

2007

We report experimental results of the field-induced variations of the microwave surface resistance in samples of MgB2, produced by different methods. By sweeping the DC magnetic field at increasing and decreasing values, we have detected a magnetic hysteresis that can be ascribed to the different magnetic induction, due to the critical state of the fluxon lattice. The hysteresis observed in the bulk samples has an unusual shape, which cannot be justified in the framework of the critical-state models.

Field-induced suppression of the pi-band superconductivity and magnetic hysteresis in the microwave surface resistance of MgB_2 at temperatures near …

2009

We report on the magnetic-field-induced variations of the microwave surface resistance, R_s, in a polycrystalline MgB_2 sample, at different values of temperature. We have detected a magnetic hysteresis in R_s, which exhibits an unexpected plateau on decreasing the DC magnetic field below a certain value. In particular, at temperatures near T_c the hysteresis manifests itself only through the presence of the plateau. Although we do not quantitatively justify the anomalous shape of the magnetic hysteresis, we show that the results obtained in the reversible region of the R_s(H) curve can be quite well accounted for by supposing that, in this range of magnetic field, the pi-gap is almost supp…

Magnetic hysteresis in the microwave surface resistance of Nb samples in the critical state

2006

We discuss the hysteretic behavior of the field-induced variations of the microwave surface resistance in superconductors in the critical state. Measurements have been performed in a bulk sample of Nb and a powdered one at different values of the temperature. We discuss a model, based on the Coffey and Clem theory, in which we take into account the flux distribution inside the sample, due to the critical state. The experimental results are justified quantitatively in the framework of our model. We show that by fitting the experimental data it is possible to determine the value of the critical current density and its field dependence.
