We report on microwave measurements on DyBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{7-rmdelta}$ monodomains grown by the top-seeded melt-textured technique. We measured the field increase of the surface resistance $R_{rm s}(H)$ in the a-b plane at 48.3 GHz. Measurements were performed at fixed temperatures in the range 70 K - $T_{rm c}$ with a static magnetic field $mu_0H<0.8$ T parallel to the c-axis. Low field steep increase of the dissipation, typical signature of the presence of weak links, is absent, thus indicating the single-domain behaviour of the sample under study. The magnetic field dependence of $R_{rm s}(H)$ is ascribed to the dissipation caused by vortex motion. The analysis of $X_{rm s}(H)$ points to a free-flow regime, thus allowing to obtain the vortex viscosity as a function of temperature. We compare the results with those obtained on RE-BCO systems. In particular, we consider strongly pinned films of YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{7-rmdelta}$ with nanometric BaZrO$_3$ inclusions.

The resistive properties of layered HTSC BiSrCaCuO in the mixed state are compared with those of thin films of conventional superconductors with weak disorders (amorphous Nb_{1-x}0_{x} films) and with strong disorders (Nb_{1-x}O_{x} films with small grain structure). The excess conductivity is considered as a function of superconducting electron density and phase coherence length. It is shown that the transition to the Abrikosov state differs from the ideal case both in BiSrCaCuO and Nb_{1-x}O_{x} films, i.e. the appearance of long-range phase coherence is continuous transition in both cases. The quantitative difference between thin films with weak and strong disorders is greater than the one between layered HTSC and conventional superconductors, showing that the dimensionality of the system, rather than the critical temperature, is the key factor ruling fluctuation effects
We aim to demonstrate an efficient method to calculate the AC losses in multi-pancake coils. This method extends Yuan front-track model into several pancake application and investigates the detail parameters in comparison with established H-formula implemented in COMSOL and minimization of energy method. We use the front-track idea to analyze stacked pancakes assuming the current fronts are straight lines and using the critical state model. The current distribution is solved by two means: minimization of the perpendicular magnetic field in the subcritical region, as Clem and Yuan proposed; minimization of total magnetic energy. We also investigate the impacts of applied current and different gaps between multi pancakes on loss calculation. Our model provides a fast calculation method of AC loss in stacked (Re)BCO pancakes and is useful to HTS applications in high field magnets, energy storage devices and electric machines.
We report magnetic susceptibility performed on overdoped Bi2Sr2CuO6+d powders as a function of oxygen doping d and temperature T. The decrease of the spin susceptibility with increasing T is confirmed. At sufficient high temperature, the spin susceptibility Chi_s presents an unusual linear temperature dependence Chi_s ~ Chi_s0 -Chi_1 T. Moreover, a linear correlation between Chi_1 and Chi_s0 for increasing hole concentration is displayed. A temperature Tchi, independent of hole doping characterizes this scaling. Comparison with other cuprates of the literature(LSCO, Tl-2201 and Bi-2212), over the same overdoped range, shows similarities with above results. These non conventional metal features will be discussed in terms of a singular narrow-band structure.
By comparison of recent direct measurements of the temperature dependence of the upper critical field $H_{c2}$ in an Y-123 high temperature superconductor with the scaling analysis of magnetization data, collected in fields H << H_c2, we demonstrate that that the temperature dependence of the Ginzburg-Landau parameter kappa is negligible. Another conclusion is that the normalized temperature dependence of H_c2 is independent of the orientation of the magnetic field in respect to crystallographic axes of the sample. We also discuss that isotropy of the temperature dependence of H_c2 straightforwardly follows from the Ginzburg-Landau theory if kappa does not depend on temperature.
Vortices in superconductors driven at microwave frequencies exhibit a response related to the interplay between the vortex viscosity, pinning strength, and flux creep effects. At the same time, the trapping of vortices in superconducting microwave resonant circuits contributes excess loss and can result in substantial reductions in the quality factor. Thus, understanding the microwave vortex response in superconducting thin films is important for the design of such circuits, including superconducting qubits and photon detectors, which are typically operated in small, but non-zero, magnetic fields. By cooling in fields of the order of 100 $mu$T and below, we have characterized the magnetic field and frequency dependence of the microwave response of a small density of vortices in resonators fabricated from thin films of Re and Al, which are common materials used in superconducting microwave circuits. Above a certain threshold cooling field, which is different for the Re and Al films, vortices become trapped in the resonators. Vortices in the Al resonators contribute greater loss and are influenced more strongly by flux creep effects than in the Re resonators. This different behavior can be described in the framework of a general vortex dynamics model.
