Temperature dependences of the magnetic moment have been measured in YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-delta} thin films over a wide magnetic field range (5 <= H <= 10^4 Oe). In these films a paramagnetic signal known as the paramagnetic Meissner effect has been observed. The experimental data in the films, which have strong pinning and high critical current densities (J_c ~ 2 times 10^6 A/cm^2 at 77 K), are quantitatively shown to be highly consistent with the theoretical model proposed by Koshelev and Larkin [Phys. Rev. B 52, 13559 (1995)]. This finding indicates that the origin of the paramagnetic effect is ultimately associated with nucleation and inhomogeneous spatial redistribution of magnetic vortices in a sample which is cooled down in a magnetic field. It is also shown that the distribution of vortices is extremely sensitive to the interplay of film properties and the real experimental conditions of the measurements.

Using spin polarized neutron reflectivity experiments, we demonstrate an unusual proximity behaviour when the superconductor (SC) and the ferromagnet (FM) are coupled through an insulator (I) in YBa2Cu3O7-{delta} (SC)/SrTiO3 (I)/La0.67Sr0.33MnO3 (FM)
heterostructures. We have observed an unexpected magnetic modulation at the interface region of the FM below the superconducting transition temperature. The magnetization of the FM layer at the I/FM interface was drastically reduced as compared to the magnetization in the rest of the FM layer. This result indicates that the Cooper pairs tunnel across the insulator and interact with the local magnetization at the interface region (extending ~ 30 {AA}) of the FM causing modification of the magnetization at the interface. This unexpected magnetic behavior cannot be explained on the basis of the existing theoretical models. However, the length scale associated here clearly suggests the long range proximity effect as a result of tunneling of Cooper pairs.
We present an angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy study of YBa2Cu3O7-delta films in situ grown by pulsed laser deposition. We have successfully produced underdoped surfaces with ordered oxygen vacancies within the CuO chains resulting in a clea
r ortho-II band folding of the Fermi surface. This indicates that order within the CuO chains affects the electronic properties of the CuO2 planes. Our results highlight the importance of having not only the correct surface carrier concentration, but also a very well ordered and clean surface in order that photoemission data on this compound be representative of the bulk.
The microscopic doping mechanism behind the superconductor-to-insulator transition of a thin film of YBa2Cu3O7 was recently identified as due to the migration of O atoms from the CuO chains of the film. Here we employ density-functional theory calcul
ations to study the evolution of the electronic structure of a slab of YBa2 Cu3 O7 in presence of oxygen vacancies under the influence of an external electric field. We find that under massive electric fields isolated O atoms are pulled out of the surface consisting of CuO chains. As vacancies accumulate at the surface, a configuration with vacancies located in the chains inside the slab becomes energetically preferred thus providing a driving force for O migration towards the surface. Regardless of the defect configuration studied, the electric field is always fully screened near the surface thus negligibly affecting diffusion barriers across the film.
We report on small angle neutron scattering measurements of the vortex lattice in twin-free YBa2Cu3O7, extending the previously investigated maximum field of 11~T up to 16.7~T with the field applied parallel to the c axis. This is the first microscop
ic study of vortex matter in this region of the superconducting phase. We find the high field VL displays a rhombic structure, with a field-dependent coordination that passes through a square configuration, and which does not lock-in to a field-independent structure. The VL pinning reduces with increasing temperature, but is seen to affect the VL correlation length even above the irreversibility temperature of the lattice structure. At high field and temperature we observe a melting transition, which appears to be first order, with no detectable signal from a vortex liquid above the transition.
We created local pinning modulations in YBCO films by means of confined high energy heavy ion irradiation. The high energy of the ions allows us to introduce nanometric size defects with a well defined anisotropy. The dose was chosen in such a way to
reduce the local critical current of the irradiated area. We used a quantitative magneto-optical analysis to measure the magnetic field vector and the supercurrent for each point of the whole sample surface. The basic geometry of a rectangular region inside strip-shaped samples was considered in order to investigate in detail the effect of the orientation of planar boundaries with respect to the supercurrent flow direction. Here we present the two complementary orientations of the modulated region, i.e., perpendicular and parallel to the main supercurrent flow. The comparison of the magnetic field and supercurrent distributions shows deep differences between the two configurations. In particular, the enhanced vortex diffusion, observed for the perpendicular case, was not found in the parallel configuration. In a such case, unexpected vortex bundle jumps and a Meissner volume compression are clearly observed after the vortices enter the irradiated region.
