Title Critical temperature and density of states in amorphous Zr70Cu30 Type Journal Article
Year 1983 Publication Solid State Communications Abbreviated Journal Solid State Commun.
Volume 48 Issue 4 Pages 389-391
Keywords ZIRCONIUM COPPER ALLOYS
Abstract By means of thermal heat treatment of amorphous Zr70Cu30 it is shown that the induced decrease in critical temperature is followed by a reduction in the electronic density of states of the same magnitude as that obtained by changing the Cu concentration. This result indicates that the density of states is the fundamental microscopic parameter determining the superconducting behavior.

Title Percolation and glass behavior in ceramic superconductors: oxygen effects Type Journal Article
Year 1989 Publication Modern Physics Letters B Abbreviated Journal Mod. Phys. Lett. B
Volume 3 Issue 2 Pages 173-181
Keywords
Abstract It is shown that small variations of oxygen content in La1.8Sr0.2CuO4−δ can be used to control the reversible and irreversible magnetization temperature dependence of the superconducting state. A grain bond model is appropriate to describe the superconducting response of the ceramics. The study of the temperature dependence of the magnetization and the resistive transition temperature, in a slightly deoxygenated sample, show that the reversible superconducting state is strongly correlated to superconducting percolation. Deoxygenation has been shown to be an excellent technique to study the time evolution of metastable states induced by currents in the bonds and or in the grains. It is shown that superconducting grains are not correlated to ceramic grains.

Title Order-disorder transition and the zero-dimensional vortex pinning regime in Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+delta Type Journal Article
Year 2001 Publication PHYSICAL REVIEW B Abbreviated Journal
Volume 63 Issue 9 Pages 092502
Keywords
Abstract We make a comparative study between the ab plane's dc critical current and the ac transverse magnetic permeability μ(perpendicular to) in the Campbell limit for optimally doped and overdoped Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+delta samples. We focus attention on the low-temperature region [T/T-c(0) < 0.25], where the transition to the zero-dimensional Larkin limit is detected by the critical current as well as by a rapid change of the Labusch parameter with temperature. The order-disorder transition, characterized by the second peak in magnetization, disappears in the presence of this zero-dimensional pinning regime.

Title Onset of the 0-dimensional vortex pinning behavior in the optimally doped and overdoped Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+delta system Type Journal Article
Year 2000 Publication PHYSICA C-SUPERCONDUCTIVITY AND ITS APPLICATIONS Abbreviated Journal
Volume 341 Issue Pages 1285-1286
Keywords
Abstract We report results of transverse AC magnetic permeability in the linear regime and DC magnetization loops for optimally doped and oxygen overdoped samples of Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+delta The data cover the low temperature (T < 25K) and low held (H-a < 1000 Oe) region of the magnetic (H-a-T) phase diagram. In optimally doped as well as in overdoped samples a crossover to a O-dimensional pinning regime (Larkin length, L-C(C), shorter than the inter-plane CuO2 distance) is observed at a characteristic temperature Too for all investigated fields. The order-disorder transition, identified by the second peak in magnetization and a non monotonous field dependence of the AC penetration depth, is quenched below T-0D.

Title Vortex softening: Origin of the second peak effect in Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+delta Type Journal Article
Year 2001 Publication PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS Abbreviated Journal
Volume 87 Issue 5 Pages 057003
Keywords
Abstract Magnetic hysteresis and transverse ac permeability measurements in Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+delta allow a comparative analysis of the critical current with the elastic response of vortex structures, in equilibrium with their pinning potential, in the field and temperature region where the second peak is detected. This study provides strong evidence that the second peak has its origin in changes of the elastic equilibrium properties of the vortex structures.

Title The true pinning force range in Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8 single crystals at low temperatures Type Journal Article
Year 2004 Publication Physica C Abbreviated Journal
Volume 408-410 Issue Pages 531-532
Keywords
Abstract We study the effective profile of the pinning potential well in Bi$2$Sr$2$CaCu$_2$O8+δ single crystals using transverse ac magnetic susceptibility. The results show that the harmonic approximation for the potential well (linear regime) is valid up to vortex displacements $r\simeqξ$, where ξ, is the coherence length. In spite of this, it is necessary to induce displacements of the vortex structure much larger than ξ to depin it from its potential. This is shown to take place even in the single vortex limit.

Title Thermal Conductivity of Polycrystalline Zinc below 1 K Type Journal Article
Year 1967 Publication Review of Scientific Instruments Abbreviated Journal
Volume 38 Issue 1 Pages 87-92
Keywords
Abstract Measurements of the thermal conductivity of samples of polycrystalline zinc of thickness 0.1 mm have been carried out between 0.12 and 0.9°K in the normal as well as in the superconducting state to investigate the usefulness of zinc as a thermal switch. The conductivity in the normal state shows a linear dependence on temperature. In the superconducting state it shows a behavior typical of electronic conductivity down to the lowest temperature measured. By applying a magnetic field between 40 and 5000 Oe, magnetoresistivity was also investigated and a strong dependence of thermal conductivity on field was found. Electrical resistivity measurements were performed in magnetic fields at liquid 4He temperatures. The resistivity was found to be independent of temperature for fields up to 9000 Oe. The effect of solder joints using Cd, Sn, In, Zn, and Wood's metal was also investigated, Cd giving the least resistance. The measurements show that zinc should be a useful thermal switch for temperatures below 0.1 and 0.2°K, though effect of a magnetic field on the normal conductivity must be carefully considered.

Abstract We discuss the changes in transport and superconducting properties of amorphous Zr70Cu30,

induced by thermal relaxation The experimental results are used to investigate the

relation between the microscopic parameters and the observed physical properties It

is shown that the density of eletronic states determines the shift Tc as well as the

variation of the electrical resistivity It is necessary to assume strong hybridization

between s and d bands to understand the eletrodynamic response of the superconductor

Title Thermally induced change in the vortex dimensionality of YBa2Cu3O7 single crystals Type Journal Article
Year 1994 Publication Philosophical Magazine Part B Abbreviated Journal Philos. Mag. B
Volume 70 Issue 3 Pages 773 - 786
Keywords
Abstract Transport measurements in YBa2Cu3O7 single crystals using a modification of the d.c. flux transformer configuration are reported. We show that, for applied magnetic fields in the crystallographic c direction, the vortex correlation length in this direction is reduced to values smaller than the thickness of the sample. The reduction can be induced either by thermal disorder (linear response) or by flux cutting after the vortices reach a critical velocity (nonlinear response). The results show that, in the transition from a vortex-glass state to a vortex-liquid state, the vortices are effectively three dimensional in character. A two-dimensional regime is induced at higher temperatures well inside the reversibility region.

Title Sensitive Hot Wire Level Detector for Cryogenic Liquids Type Journal Article
Year 1969 Publication Review of Scientific Instruments Abbreviated Journal Rev. Sci. Instrum.
Volume 40 Issue 3 Pages 483-486
Keywords
Abstract A very simple and highly sensitive ``hot wire'' type level detector to be used with cryogenic liquids is described. The hot filament is made of tungsten wire of about 4 µ diam. The tests on the sensor were made moving the filament in and out of the quiescent surfaces of liquid helium and nitrogen. The results showed 0.006 mm sensitivity in the determination of liquid helium level and 0.002 mm sensitivity in the case of liquid nitrogen level. The sensor is assembled in such a way that it can be used without special precautions during indefinite periods of time. For the case when the full capabilities of the sensor are not necessary, a simple circuit is presented.
