Title Anomalous proximity effect in underdoped YBa2Cu3O6+x Josephson junctions Type Journal Article
Year 2000 Publication Physical Review Letters Abbreviated Journal Phys Rev Lett
Volume 85 Issue 17 Pages 3708-3711
Keywords Critical currents; Energy gap; High temperature superconductors; Magnetic field effects; Magnetron sputtering; Mathematical models; Phase diagrams; Phase transitions; Physical properties; Scanning electron microscopy; Superconductivity; Yttrium barium copper oxides; Anomalous proximity effect; Fluctuating phase models; Josephson effect; Photodoping; Josephson junction devices
Abstract Experiments were carried out to probe the underdoped insulating material by the Josephson effect. Junctions were fabricated by exploiting the capability of locally photodoping insulating RBa2Cu3O6+x (R = rare earth) material. The existence of an anomalously large proximity effect was confirmed. The critical current of the junctions was consisted with the conventional Josephson relationship.

Title Correlation between critical current and resistivity in YBa2Cu3O7 Type Journal Article
Year 1991 Publication Physica C: Superconductivity and its applications Abbreviated Journal Phys C Supercond Appl
Volume 185-189 Issue PART 4 Pages 2447-2448
Keywords Ceramic Materials; Yttrium Compounds--Electric Conductivity; Critical Currents; Oxide Superconductors; Yttrium Barium Copper Oxides; High Temperature Superconductors
Abstract Critical current versus temperature measurements were carried out in ceramic YBa2Cu3O7 samples. The samples were all prepared using the same sintering procedure, but starting from powders obtained by different wet and dry methods. All samples showed a linear Jc vs. T behaviour, typical of Josephson weak-link coupling, with a slope that depends on the preparation method. Using the Ambegaokar-Baratoff relation for Jc, the difference in slopes can be attributed to a change in the characteristic value of the junction resistance. This value turns out to be clearly correlated with the resistivity in the normal state.

Title Angular variation of pinning near the irreversibility temperature in single crystal Y Ba2Cu3O7-? with splayed columnar defects Type Journal Article
Year 1998 Publication Physica C Abbreviated Journal Physica C
Volume 304 Issue 1-2 Pages 112-118
Keywords Columnar defects; Critical current density; Flux pinning; Pinning force; Anisotropy; Critical current density (superconductivity); Crystal defects; Single crystals; Columnar defects; Flux pinning; Yttrium barium copper oxides
Abstract We have studied vortex pinning through ac susceptibility measurements in single crystals of YBCO with columnar defects (CDs). The CDs have 0, 10 and 20 splay angle and average direction 108 off the c-axis. By studying the angular variation we can compensate for the anisotropy and effects of twins, etc. Using a simple expression we can obtain the angular spread when the field direction is outside the splay angle. An increase of pinning when the field direction is inside

the angle defined by the CDs can be attributed to vortex entanglement due to the splay and the suppression of the sliding of double kinks.

Title Effect of room temperature annealing on the properties of oxygen- deficient YBa2Cu3Ox films Type Journal Article
Year 1993 Publication Physica C: Superconductivity and its applications Abbreviated Journal Phys C Supercond Appl
Volume 206 Issue 1-2 Pages 51-58
Keywords Annealing; Ceramic materials; Hall effect; Superconducting films; Yttrium compounds; Critical current density; Oxide superconductors; Yttrium barium copper oxides; High temperature superconductors
Abstract Annealing at room temperature of quenched oxygen-depleted YBa2Cu3Oxn (6.5?xn<6.8) films, produces a clear increase in the critical temperature Tc and current density Jc, while the normal state resistivity ?{variant}xx and Hall coefficient RH decrease as a function of annealing time, indicating an increase in carrier density. The enhancement of the critical current density Jc is more pronounced at high fields and temperatures due to a shift of the irreversibility line, which scales with the increasing Tc. The observed changes are accompanied by corresponding changes in the crystalline structure, which can be related to oxygen ordering effects.

Title Frequency and amplitude response of the flux-line lattice to mechanical perturbation in ceramic YBa2Cu3O7 Type Journal Article
Year 1992 Publication Physica C: Superconductivity and its applications Abbreviated Journal Phys C Supercond Appl
Volume 201 Issue 3-4 Pages 257-262

Abstract The mechanical response of the flux-line lattice has been measured with a low-frequency forced pendulum in ceramic YBa2Cu3O7. A dissipation peak observed in temperature sweeps is frequency-independent between 1 mHz and 5 Hz. Dissipation depends strongly on applied torque, and for fixed temperatures this dependence is well fitted by a rheological model of extended dry friction. If the model is extended to take account of thermal activation, however, it does not agree with the measured frequency independence, which is hard to explain within simple models of thermal activation.

Title Bose-glass-like phases in oriented-twin YBa2Cu3O7-? crystals Type Journal Article

Keywords Low temperature effects; Magnetic fields; Superconducting materials; Bose-glass phases; Planar random defect array; Yttrium barium copper oxides; physics
Abstract We experimentally study the dynamical response of the superconducting vortex system near the solid-liquid transition by applying forces parallel and perpendicular to a planar random defect array. Our results show that for magnetic fields above a certain critical field Hcr'? 4 T the solid glassy vortex phase in YBa2Cu3O7-? crystals with oriented twin planes does not correspond to the so-called Bose-glass phase.

Title Magneto-optical evidence for a gapped Fermi surface in underdoped YBa 2Cu3O6+x Type Journal Article
Year 2004 Publication Physical Review Letters Abbreviated Journal Phys Rev Lett
Volume 93 Issue 13 Pages
Keywords Antiferromagnetism; Carrier concentration; Cyclotrons; Doping (additives); Faraday effect; Hall effect; High temperature superconductors; Magnetic susceptibility; Magnetooptical effects; Photoemission; Yttrium barium copper oxides; Fermi arcs; Hall frequency; Magnetic excitations; Photoemission spectroscopy; Fermi surface
Abstract An evidence presented that supports partial gapping of the Fermi surface by a measurement of the Hall frequency from high frequency magneto-optical measurements on underdoped YBa2Cu3O6+x (YBCO) was discussed. It was found that the Hall frequency was obtained independently of the unknown k-space dependence of the carrier scattering rates that complicated the dc Hall effect. It was observed that the frequency dependence of the Hall angle was Drude-like and indicated a quasielastic relaxation process for optimal and underdoped samples. The results show that there was an increase of the Hall frequency in the pseudogap state.

Title The magnetic moment relaxation in oxygen-deficient YBa2Cu3Ox Type Journal Article
Year 1992 Publication Physica C: Superconductivity and its applications Abbreviated Journal Phys C Supercond Appl
Volume 197 Issue 1-2 Pages 9-14
Keywords Magnetic Measurements – Relaxation; Oxygen – Concentration; Relaxation Processes – High Temperature Effects; Relaxation Processes – Magnetic Field Effects; Magnetic Moment Relaxation; Oxygen Deficiency; Yttrium Barium Copper Oxides; High Temperature Superconductors
Abstract The magnetic moment relaxation in polycrystalline YBa2Cu3Oxmaterial has been studied using zero-field-cooled measurements. The temperature dependence of the relaxation rate shows a field-dependent maximum. When the oxygen content is reduced, the maximum shifts towards lower temperatures. This shift is directly related to a decrease of the intragrain critical current density in the oxygen-deficient material, inducing a decrease of the field H* for complete flux penetration. The characteristic activation energies for depinning in the oxygen-deficient material are below 20 meV.

Abstract The influence of oxygen concentration on the irreversibility line and critical current of polycrystalline YBa2Cu3Ox was determined using field and zero-field cooled magnetic measurements and magnetic hysteresis data. Although the field dependence of Tirr(H) is unchanged, the irreversibility line shifts to lower temperatures for decreasing oxygen content and the critical current density is strongly reduced.
