REBa2Cu3O7-d (RE123, RE: rare earth) is one of the high-temperature superconductors with a transition temperature (Tc) exceeding 90 K. Because of its high Tc and large critical current density (Jc) under magnetic fields, RE123 superconductors have been expected to play a key role in superconductivity application. To accelerate application researches on RE123-based devices, further improvements of Jc characteristics have been desired. In this study, we investigated the effects of high-entropy alloying at the RE site on the superconducting properties, through the measurements of local (intra-grain) Jc (Jclocal) by a remanent magnetization method. We found that Jclocal shows a trend to be improved when four or five RE elements are solved at the RE site, which results in high configurational entropy of mixing (delta_Smix). Because high-entropy alloying can improve Jclocal of RE123 superconductors by modification of the RE site composition and delta_Smix, and the technique would be applicable together with other techniques, such as introduction of nanoscale disorders, our entropy-engineering strategy introduced here would be useful for development of RE123 superconducting materials available under high magnetic fields.
To investigate the interlayer interaction in the recently synthesized high-entropy-alloy-type (HEA-type) REO0.5F0.5BiS2 superconductors (RE: rare earth), we have systematically synthesized samples with close lattice parameters and different mixing en
A relatively high critical temperature, Tc, approaching 40 K, places the recently-discovered superconductor magnesium diboride (MgB2) intermediate between the families of low- and copper-oxide-based high-temperature superconductors (HTS). Supercurren
Critical current density (Jc) is one of the major limiting factors for high field applications of iron-based superconductors. Here, we report that Mn-ions are successfully incorporated into nontoxic superconducting (Li,Fe)OHFeSe films. Remarkably, th
The high resistivity of many bulk and film samples of MgB2 is most readily explained by the suggestion that only a fraction of the cross-sectional area of the samples is effectively carrying current. Hence the supercurrent (Jc) in such samples will b
We have studied nodal tunneling into YBa2Cu3O7-x (YBCO) films under magnetic fields. The films orientation was such that the CuO2 planes were perpendicular to the surface with the a and b axis at 450 form the normal. The magnetic field was applied pa
