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 irreversibility 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.

We have performed susceptibility, thermopower, dc resistance and microwave measurements on RuSr2EuCu2O8. This compound has recently been shown to display the coexistence of both superconducting and magnetic order. We find clear evidence of changes in
the dc and microwave resistance near the magnetic ordering temperature (132 K). The intergranular effects were separated from the intragranular effects by performing microwave measurements on a sintered ceramic sample as well as on a powder sample dispersed in an epoxy resin. We show that the data can be interpreted in terms of the normal-state resistivity being dominated by the CuO2 layers with exchange coupling to the Ru moments in the RuO2 layers. Furthermore, most of the normal-state semiconductor-like upturn in the microwave resistance is found to arise from intergranular transport. The data in the superconducting state can be consistently interpreted in terms of intergranular weak-links and an intragranular spontaneous vortex phase due to the ferromagnetic component of the magnetization arising from the RuO2 planes.
We have observed the conduction electron spin resonance (CESR) in fine powders of MgB2 both in the superconducting and normal states. The Pauli susceptibility is chi_s=2.0*10^{-5} emu/mole in the temperature range of 450 to 600 K. The spin relaxation
rate has an anomalous temperature dependence. The CESR measured below T_c at several frequencies suggests that MgB_2 is a strongly anisotropic superconductor with the upper critical field, H_c2, ranging between 2 and 16 T. The high-field reversible magnetization data of a randomly oriented powder sample are well described assuming that MgB_2 is an anisotropic superconductor with H_c2^{ab} / H_{c2}^{c} approx 6--9.
We study the effect of nano(n)-SiC addition on the crystal structure, critical temperature (Tc), critical current density (Jc) and flux pinning in MgB2 superconductor. X-ray diffraction patterns show that all the samples have MgB2 as the main phase w
ith very small amount of MgO, further with n-SiC addition the presence of Mg2Si is also noted and confirmed by SEM & EDS. The Tc value for the pure MgB2 is 18.9K under 8 Tesla applied field, while is 20.8K for the 10-wt % n-SiC doped sample under the same field. This points towards the increment in upper-critical field value with n-SiC addition. The irreversibility field (Hirr) for the 5% n-SiC added sample reached 11.3, 10 and 5.8 Tesla, compared to 7.5, 6.5, and 4.2 Tesla for the pure MgB2 at 5, 10 and 20K respectively. The critical current density (Jc) for the 5-wt % n-SiC added sample is increased by a factor of 35 at 10K and 6.5 Tesla field and by a factor 20 at 20K and 4.2 Tesla field. These results are understood on the basis of superconducting condensate (sigma band) disorder and ensuing intrinsic pining due to B site C substitution clubbed with further external pinning due to available n-SiC/Mg2Si pins in the composite system.
The present article reports a method for the average grain size evaluation of superconducting nano-particles through their magnetic properties. The use of SQUID magnetometry to determine the average MgB2 particle size was investigated and the results
compared with those achieved through other techniques. In particular the data obtained from zero field cooled magnetization measurement as function of the temperature were compared with the results obtained by scanning electron microscopy and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller techniques. The particle magnetization was measured by a commercial SQUID magnetometer in magnetic field (1 mT) and temperatures ranging from 5 to 50 K dispersing the powders in a grease medium. The grain size is obtained by fitting the data taking into account the Ginzburg-Landau temperature dependence of the London penetration depth. Variations on typical modeling parameters were explored in order to gain a better picture of the average grain size and the effectiveness of various measurement techniques. We find that it is possible to use the magnetization measurements to determine the average grain size even if the SEM image analysis allows extracting more information about the grain size distribution. Furthermore a Matlab routine has been developed in order to get automatic analysis of SEM images.
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 10
0 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.
