We present a magnetization study of low density YBCO ceramics carried out in magnetic fields 0.5 Oe < H < 50 kOe. It was demonstrated that superconducting links between grains may be completely suppressed either by a magnetic field of the order of 100 Oe (at low temperatures) or by an increase of temperature above 70 K. This property of present samples allowed to evaluate the ratio between an average grain size and the magnetic field penetration depth lambda. Furthermore, at temperatures T > 85 K, using low-field magnetization measurements, we could evaluate the temperature dependence of lambda, which turned out to be very close to predictions of the conventional Ginzburg-Landau theory. Although present samples consisted of randomly oriented grains, specifics of magnetization measurements allowed for evaluation of lambda_ab(T). Good agreement between our estimation of the grain size with the real sample structure provides evidence for the validity of this analysis of magnetization data. Measurements of equilibrium magnetization in high magnetic fields were used for evaluation of Hc2(T). At temperatures close to T_c, the Hc2(T) dependence turned out to be linear in agreement with the Ginzburg-Landau theory. The value of temperature, at which Hc2 vanishes, coincides with the superconducting critical temperature evaluated from low-field measurements.

We report magnetic field dependent magnetization and microwave impedance measurements on a MgB2 superconductor prepared by high pressure synthesis. We find that the upper critical field is linearly dependent on temperature near Tc and the dc irrevers ibility field exponent is ~1.4. The microwave data display an excess surface resistance below Tc which is neither observed in low Tc nor in high temperature superconductors (HTSC). The real part of the complex conductivity, sigma1, shows a huge maximum below Tc and the imaginary part, sigma2, is linear for temperatures less than 20 K, which can not be simply accounted for by the weak coupling BCS model with an s-wave superconducting order parameter. We speculate that this may be due to the two gaps reported by other studies. Unlike measurements on the high temperature superconducting cuprates, we find no evidence of weak-links in the superconducting state. By inverting the magnetic field dependent impedance data, we find a vortex depinning frequency that decreases with increasing magnetic field and evidence for an anisotropic upper critical magnetic field.

High temperature superconducting coated conductor (CC) could be practically applied in electric equipment due to its favorable mechanical properties and the critical current performance of YBCO superconducting layer. It is well known that CC could be easily delaminated because of its poor stress tolerance in thickness direction, i.e. along the c-axis of YBCO. Commonly, a stack including YBCO layer and silver stabilizer could be obtained after the delamination. It would be interesting to investigate the superconducting properties of the delaminated stack, since it could also be considered as a new type of CC with the silver stabilizer as the buffer layer, which is quite different from the oxide buffer layers in the traditional CC and might lead to new applications. In this study, a CC sample was delaminated by liquid nitrogen immersing. A Hall probe scanning system was employed to measure the critical current (IC) distribution of the original sample and the obtained stack. It was found that IC could be partially preserved after the delamination. Dense and crack-free morphologies of the delaminated surfaces were observed by scanning electron microscopy, and the potential application of the obtained stack in superconducting joint technology was discussed.
We present a calorimetric study on single crystals of Ca(Fe1-xCox)2As2 (x = 0, 0.032, 0.051, 0.056, 0.063, and 0.146). The combined first order spin-density wave/structural transition occurs in the parent CaFe2As2 compound at 168 K and gradually shif ts to lower temperature for low doping levels (x = 0.032 and x = 0.051). It is completely suppressed upon higher doping x = 0.056. Simultaneously, superconductivity appears at lower temperature with a transition temperature around Tc = 14.1 K for Ca(Fe0.937Co0.063)2As2. The phase diagram of Ca(Fe0.937Co0.063)2As2 has been derived and the upper critical field is found to be H(c) c2 = 11.5
Evidence of coexistence of Co3+ with Co2+ in ceramic Co3TeO6 through XANES, DC magnetization and first principal studies is provided. XANES along with linear combination fit provide relative concentrations of Co2+ and Co3+.Temperature dependent DC ma gnetization exhibits the same antiferromagnetic behavior as observed in single crystal. The presence of both Co2+ and Co3+ suggests that if the later is in high spin state, the effective magnetic moment is similar to that observed in single crystal studies. In contrast, if Co3+ is in low spin state effective magnetic moment is similar to that observed in Co3O4. It is further shown that both Co2+ and Co3+ in high spin states constitute a favorable ground state through first principle calculations where Rietveld refined Synchrotron X-ray diffraction data are inputs.
We report the superconducting properties of single crystals of the intermetallic perovskite-related compound BaBi$_{3}$. The superconducting transition temperature ($T_{c}=5.82$~K) was obtained from heat capacity measurements. Using the measured valu es for the critical fields $H_{c1}, H_{c2}$, and the specific heat $C$, we estimate the thermodynamic critical field $H_{c}$(0), coherence length $xi$(0), Debye temperature $Theta _{D}$ and coupling constant $lambda _{ep}$. $Delta C/gamma T_{c}$ and $lambda _{ep}$ suggest that BaBi$_{3}$ is a moderately coupled superconductor and $gamma $ suggests an enhanced density of states at the Fermi level. Electronic band structure calculations show a complex Fermi surface and a moderately high DOS at the Fermi level. Further analysis of the electronic specific heat shows that the superconducting properties are dominated by s-wave gap.
