We study the crystal growth of YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7- with additives, using ac susceptibility, X-ray diffraction and STM. One specific additive, BaF 2 , dramatically improves both the crystal growth and the superconducting properties. A cluster growth model is proposed to describe the function of the additive. F reduces the Al contamination of Cu-O chains, and the orthorhombicity increases. On a nanometer scale, the roughness of the chains decreases markedly. Superconductivity is further enhanced using non-contaminating crucibles. Large single crystals with T C = 93.7 K and T C = 0.1K were grown in Y 2 O 3 or BaZrO 3 crucibles using the BaF 2 additive.  相似文献

We have studied the driven vortex lattice in untwinned, clean YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7– single crystals, showing the first order (melting) transition T m . At high enough driving currents (j 10 3 A/cm 2 , j j c ) and temperatures T < T m , a clear distinction is found between two different behaviours of the moving vortex lattice. The onset of dissipation is characterized by a noisy flux creep with a temperature independent activation energy U(j). At higher temperatures, the creep regime crosses over into a flux flow regime with linear resistivity. Apart from the dip in resistivity at T m , associated with the peak effect and usually assigned to a softening of the shear modulus, the resistivity of the flowing flux lattice continuously extends into the vortex-liquid.  相似文献

Dip-coating and partial melting technique have been used to fabricate high quality superconducting YBa2Cu3O7– and YBa2Cu3O7–-Ag thick films with T c(0)=92 K on polycrystalline REBa2NbO6 (RE=Pr, Nd, Sm, and Eu) substrates. The superconducting films showed excellent adhesion to the REBa2NbO6 substrate. The effect of Ag addition in YBa2Cu3O7– on the current density, microstructure, and crystal orientation of the superconducting films developed on the above substrates have been discussed in detail. Dip-coating technique was found to be one of the easiest method for obtaining good quality superconducting YBa2Cu3O7– thick films with thickness as low as 3 m even on polycrystalline substrates.  相似文献

Flux pinning can lead to the enhancement of J c in superconductor. In order to study the effect of magnetic particles on superconductivity, the composites of (YBa2Cu3O7?δ )0.98(Fe3O4)0.02 and (YBa2Cu3O7?δ )0.98(α-Fe2O3)0.02 are synthesized with former sintered at different temperatures. The field-cooling measurements show that the T c of the samples has not changed. The superconducting properties are enhanced when the samples are sintered at high temperature (750 °C), but suppressed for the samples without sintering or sintered at low temperature (350 °C). Scanning electron microscopy images show that the doped Fe3O4 are diffused into intergrain sites. With the increase of sintering temperatures, the grain size of the sample grows up and the flux pinning, which leads to the enhancement of J c is formed by the addition of Fe3O4 nanoparticles. The extended X-ray absorption fine structure and X-ray absorption near edge structure experiments prove that after sintered at high temperatures the addition of Fe3O4 can induce disorder of local structures of YBa2Cu3O7?δ . Also, the transition from the tetragonal phase to the orthorhombic phase is observed by the X-ray diffraction spectra. By the above analysis of experimental data, the enhancement of diamagnetic signal, which represents the superconducting properties can be attributed to the disorder enhancement of local structures and structural phase transition of the cuprates induced by the addition of Fe3O4.  相似文献

We measured the ab-plane resistivity of c-axis YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7- /PrBa 2 Cu 2.8 Ga 0.2 O 7 superlattices grown by pulsed laser deposition, from T C to 325 K. The normal-state resistivity and the fluctuation regime above T C were studied for different thickness of YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7- and PrBa 2 Cu 2.8 Ga 0.2 O 7- in the superlattice period. As the concentration of PrBa 2 Cu 2.8 Ga 0.2 O 7- is raised, the T C decreases and the resistivity increases. Evidence is given for an underdoping effect in the YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7- layers and our measurements are compared to similar measurements on oxygen-deficient YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7- thin films, grown on the same equipment. They are also compared to measurements on YBa 2 Cu 3-x Co x O 7- single crystals made by other groups. We present here the different measurements and investigate the mechanisms that could be held responsible for this depletion in charge carriers.  相似文献

YBa2Cu3O7–/(Y1–xPrx)Ba2Cu3O7– multilayers have been used to probe coupling through (Y1–x:Prx)Ba2Cu3O7– alloys. We observe that the coupling between ultrathin YBa2Cu3O7– layers, 12 or 24 Å thick, survives through several hundred Å of (Y1–xPrx)Ba2Cu3O7– with x=0.4 and 0.55. Tc versus the thickness of the spacer-alloy, and activation energies for flux motion, with fields parallel and perpendicular to the c-axis, have been used to probe this long range coupling. All these experiments point to an unusually large coupling length for these two alloy compositions. In the x=0.55 case this result is particularly surprising since the alloy material display a semiconducting behaviour for this composition. Tc measurements, activation energies, and a study of the vortex dynamics in these coupled multilayers is presented along with new results obtained on a series of multilayers built with a more insulating alloy, x=0.7.  相似文献

In this study, polycrystalline YBa2Cu3O7– (123) was deformed under controlled conditions with a confining pressure of 1.0GPa, temperatures of 25, 500 and 800° C, and a strain rate of 10–4 sec–1 in order to ascertain the micromechanisms of deformation that give rise to the macroscopic plastic behaviour. The deformed material was analysed using optical microscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and a SQUID magnetometer to study the effects of deformation on the microstructure of YBa2Cu3O7– and how changes in the microstructure affected the superconducting properties. The results of these preliminary experiments suggest that the 123 material will be very difficult to deform plastically as slip occurs only on the (001) plane. The lack of multiple slip systems implies that this material will show some brittle behaviour up to a very high homologous temperature. Even when plastic behaviour can be sustained for high strains it may require high annealing temperatures to remove lattice imperfections which impede the superconducting currents. Densification by high pressure deformation may make reoxygenation difficult due to the reduced diffusion rates between the grains. These factors combined suggest that traditional fabrication techniques are not applicable to the 123 material. More work needs to be carried out to determine how annealing affects the microstructures of deformed materials and how these changes in microstructure affect the superconducting properties of these materials.  相似文献

Mechanisms of interaction between the reactive species of a (CF4+O2) plasma and YBa2Cu3O7– ceramics have been proposed through detailed angle-resolved X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic analyses. At the surface of the outer grains, the plasma treatment removes (OH) and (CO3)2– species contained in the degradation layer and gives rise to a fluoride-rich layer, whereas in the bulk of the material the occurrence of metal-fluorine bonds in the superconducting phase has been assumed. An increase of the oxidation state of copper has been also detected, confirming the oxidizing effect of the plasma treatment. A comparison with the oxidation mechanisms obtained by fluorine gas treatment is proposed.  相似文献

The radiofrequency plasma technique involving mixtures of CF4+O2 gases has been applied to the surface treatment of high Tc superconducting oxides (YBa2Cu3O7–). Investigation of the various experimental parameters of the process has shown that the improvement of the critical current density, J c, mainly depends on the inlet precursor composition CF4+%O2, on the total pressure and on the reaction time. The presence of fluorine in the bulk of the ceramics has been observed from electron microprobe analysis, together with an increase of the Cu3+ content. The plasma-enhanced fluorination (PEF) treatment improves the superconducting properties of the materials: both values of the resistivity in the normal state and of the superconducting transition width are reduced and the critical transition temperature is improved by about 1 K.  相似文献

The out-diffusion of oxygen during heat treatment of fully oxygenated c-axis oriented epitaxial films of YBa2Cu3O7- leads to large electric fields in the films. During heat treatment under oxygen pressure a transient electric resistance peak has been observed also.  相似文献

Thick films of superconducting oxides, YBa2Cu3O7-, were successfully made by conventional screen-printing technology on Al2O3, MgO, and ZrO2 substrates. Interdiffusion between the superconductive film and substrate was investigated using analytical electron microscopy. The results indicate that MgO and ZrO2 are superior to Al2O3 for substrate materials.  相似文献

High-temperature superconductor YBa2Cu3O7?δ (YBCO) nanopowders were synthesized by the citrate-gel route, which is a modification of the sol-gel method. The fine powders were calcinated at 860 and 900 °C. They were of small size, in the range of 30–35 nm. X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns verified production of the orthorhombic superconducting phase in all samples. Measuring the magnetic properties of these nanoparticles at room temperature, via a vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), indicated ferromagnetism behavior in the YBa2Cu3O7?δ nanoparticles. As the size of the nanoparticles decreased, the magnetic saturation of all samples increased. The development of the ferromagnetism effect was attributed to the presence of surface oxygen vacancies that lead to electron redistribution on the different ions at the surface. Thus, in an innovative work, the produced samples were annealed at 700 °C for 5 h under 0.8–0.9 bar of air atmosphere. The results showed that a small increase in the nanoparticle size provided a dramatic increase of magnetic saturation in all samples. Thus, we can say that the annealing process at vacuum improves the ferromagnetic properties of YBCO nanoparticles.  相似文献

Many low temperature properties of high Tc superconductors deviate significantly from the detailed predictions of BCS theory. Here we discuss whether these effects could be caused by either: (a) an unconventional pairing state, or (b) local randomness in the gap function due to the intrinsic disorder. We review recent experiments pertinent to these questions: Josephson effects in (001) oriented planar junctions between YBa2Cu3O7- and classic superconductors and the temperature dependence of the a-b plane electro-magnetic penetration depth at low temperatures. We also calculate the density of states of s-wave superconductors with local quenched disorder in the gap function so as to determine whether s-wave pairing could be consistent with the low energy quasiparticle excitations seen in many experiments.  相似文献

A method for growing millimeter-sized crystals of YBa2Cu3O7– is described. Processing conditions were developed to improve the superconducting transition temperature and sharpness, as observed by measurements of the dc magnetic susceptibility. Some of our crystals have been used in observations of the Raman Effect, specific heat, nuclear magnetic resonance, and nuclear quadrupole resonance, with results indicating that the samples are excellent.  相似文献

The relation between the microstructure and properties of YBa2Cu3O7--Agx composite superconductors prepared via sol-gel processing has been studied. Optical microscopy, SEM and TEM analyses indicated that Ag-doped samples were dense, with small and regular grains and narrow spaces between grains. Ag particles were distributed homogeneously in samples and these could increase their J 0 values. The mechanisms of the effect of Ag doping on the superconducting properties and microstructure of samples were hindrance of the movements of grain boundaries and metallization of grain boundaries. However, too much Ag doping would weaken the coupling among superconducting grains and induce J 0 to decrease. The experimental results confirmed these ideas.  相似文献

In this work, we study the magnetoelectrical properties of La2/3Ca1/3MnO3/YBa2Cu3O7?δ /La2/3Ca1/3MnO3 heterostructures grown by means of high oxygen-pressure dc sputtering onto (001)-oriented SrTiO3 substrates. The test heterostructures are composed of ferromagnetic layers of constant thicknesses (~280 unit cells, ~110 nm) and superconducting interlayers with thicknesses ranging between 5 (~6 nm) and 15 unit cells (~17 nm). Transport measurements show a strong suppression of the superconducting properties when the thickness of the YBa2Cu3O7?δ interlayer is reduced to a value below 10 unit cells. Magnetic measurements show superconducting transition in junctions with YBa2Cu3O7?δ interlayers with thicknesses larger than ~15 unit cells. The observed difference in the values of the superconductivity onset when determined by electrical and magnetic measurements might be related with the presence of a spontaneous vortex phase in the temperature range around the superconducting transition.  相似文献

We measure the diamagnetic response of YBa 2 Cu 3 O y A x (A=Cl, F, H) ceramics. We obtain low-field effective penetration depths of a few 10 m, first flux-penetration field H1 distinguishable from the volume penetration field HC1 and two characteristic temperatures Ts and Tc, Tcs, defined by the onset of the real and imaginary parts of the susceptibility, respectively. H 1 (T) goes to zero as a power law H 1 (T, x)=H 1 (0, x) (T–T/Tc) 2.7 near TC. From the values of and H 1 we infer the correlation length at T=4.2 K. A large range of values for (4.2) suggests that chemical disorder plays an essential role in the phenomenology of cuprates. We find (4.2)H 1 (4.2) –1/3 . This, and the power law (4.2)H 1 (4.2) –2/3 result from the scaling properties of a phase transition governed by disorder.  相似文献

YBa2Cu3O7−δ was prepared in the glassy state by rapid solidification from the melt. The quenched material was paramagnetic down to liquid-He temperature. Diamagnetic behavior developed after crystallization of the glass at high temperatures (> 800°C). A well-defined superconducting transition occurred at 90 K for material heat treated and crystallized above 900 °C.  相似文献
