We report the results from resistivity and magnetic measurements on polycrystalline Ce oxypnictide (CeFeAsO1-xFx) samples where x spans from 0.13 to 0.25. We find that the orbital limiting field is as high as 150 T and it systematically decreases with increasing doping. The Maki parameter is greater than one across the phase diagram and the large Maki parameter suggests that orbital and Pauli limiting effects contribute to the upper critical field. The broadening of the superconducting transition in the resistivity data was interpreted using the thermally activated flux flow (TAFF) model where we find that the TAFF activation energy, U0(B), is proportional to B^{-(gamma)} from 1 T to high fields, and (gamma) does not significantly change with doping. However, U0 and the superconducting critical current, Jc, are peaked in the mid-doping region (x = 0.15 to x = 0.20), and not in the low (x < 0.15) or high doping (x > 0.20) regions. Furthermore, U0 is correlated with Jc and follows the two fluid model for granular samples.

The electrical resistivity (Rxx) and Hall resistivity (Rxy) of LaFeAsO1-xFx have been measured over a wide fluorine doping range 0 =< x =< 0.14 using 60 T pulsed magnets. While the superconducting phase diagram (Tc, x) displays the classic dome-shaped structure, we find that the resistive upper critical field (Hc2) increases monotonically with decreasing fluorine concentration, with the largest Hc2 >= 75 T for x = 0.05. This is reminiscent of the composition dependence in high-Tc cuprates and might correlate with opening of a pseudo-gap in the underdoped region. Further, the temperature dependence of Hc2(T) for superconducting samples can be understood in terms of multi-band superconductivity. Rxy data for non-superconducting samples show non-linear field dependence, which is also consistent with a multi-carrier scenario.
The origin of the resistive transition broadening for MgB2 thin films was investigated. Thermally activated flux flow is found to be responsible for the resistivity contribution in the vicinity of Tc. The origin of the observed extraordinary strong magnetic field dependence of the activation energy of the flux motion is discussed.
A series of polycrystalline SmFeAs1-xOx bulks was prepared to systematically investigate the influence of sample density on flux pinning properties. Different sample densities were achieved by controlling the pelletizing pressure. The superconducting volume fraction, the critical current densities Jcm and the flux pinning force densities Fp were estimated from the magnetization measurements. Experimental results manifest that: (1) the superconducting volume fraction decreases with the decreasing of sample density. (2) The Jcm values have the similar trend except for the sample with very high density may due to different connectivity and pinning mechanism. Moreover, The Jcm(B) curve develops a peak effect at approximately the same field at which the high-density sample shows a kink. (3) The Fp(B) curve of the high-density sample shows a low-field peak and a high-field peak at several temperatures, which can be explained by improved intergranular current, while only one peak can be observed in Fp(B) of the low-density samples. Based on the scaling behaviour of flux pinning force densities, the main intragranular pinning is normal point pinning.
We study the temperature dependence of the resistivity as a function of magnetic field in superconducting transition (Tconset - TcR=0) region for different Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+{delta} superconducting samples being synthesized using sol-gel method. The superconducting transition temperature (TcR=0) of the studied samples is increased from 32 K to 82K by simply increasing the final sintering temperature with an improved grains morphology. On the other hand, broadening of transition is increased substantially with decrease in sintering temperature; this is because Tconset is not affected much with grains morphology. Further broadening of the superconducting transition is seen under magnetic field, which is being explained on the basis of thermally activated flux flow (TAFF) below superconducting transition temperature (Tc). TAFF activation energy (U0) is calculated using the resistive broadening of samples in the presence of magnetic field. Temperature dependence of TAFF activation energy revealed linear temperature dependence for all the samples. Further, magnetic field dependence is found to obey power law for all the samples and the negative exponent is increased with increase in sintering temperature or the improved grains morphology for different Bi-2212 samples. We believe that the sintering temperature and the ensuing role of grain morphology is yet a key issue to be addressed in case of cuprate superconductors.
Critical current density (Jc), thermal activation energy (U0), and upper critical field (Hc2) of La1-xSmxO0.5F0.5BiS2 (x = 0.2, 0.8) superconductors are investigated from magnetic field dependent r{ho}(T) studies. The estimated upper critical field (Hc2) has low values of 1.04 T for x = 0.2 and 1.41 T for x = 0.8. These values are lower than Sm free LaO0.5F0.5BiS2 superconductor (1.9 T). The critical current density (Jc) is estimated to be 1.35*105 A/cm2 and 5.07 *105 A/cm2 (2 K) for x = 0.2 and 0.8 respectively, using the Beans model. The thermal activation energy (U0/kB) is 61 K for x = 0.2 and 140 K for x =0.8 as calculated from Arrhenius plots at low magnetic field (1 T) and indicates a strong flux pinning potential which might be co-existing with applied magnetic field.
