We investigated the effect of enhancement of superconducting transition temperature Tc by nonmagnetic atom disorder in the series of filled skutterudite-related compounds (La3M4Sn13, Ca3Rh4Sn13, Y5Rh6Sn18, Lu5Rh6Sn18; M= Co, Ru, Rh), where the atomic disorder is generated by various defects or doping. We have shown that the disorder on the coherence length scale ξ in these nonmagnetic quasiskutterudite superconductors additionally generates a non-homogeneous, high-temperature superconducting phase with Tc⋆>Tc (dilute disorder scenario), while the strong fluctuations of stoichiometry due to increasing doping can rapidly increase the superconducting transition temperature of the sample even to the value of Tc⋆∼2Tc (dense disorder leading to strong inhomogeneity). This phenomenon seems to be characteristic of high-temperature superconductors and superconducting heavy fermions, and recently have received renewed attention. We experimentally documented the stronger lattice stiffening of the inhomogeneous superconducting phase Tc⋆ in respect to the bulk Tc one and proposed a model that explains the Tc⋆>Tc behavior in the series of nonmagnetic skutterudite-related compounds.

The Stability

Recently, new types of high temperature superconductors have been found which are characterized by the existence of circular molecular orbits in each unit site of 2D s/p electron system. In view of the characteristic, a new model of superconductivity is studied based on the stability of the correlated state of electrons in the 2D interconnection of circular orbits. This model gives an estimation of the upper bound of superfluidity transition temperature: T c ~ 130-400 K for fcc C 60, and T c ~ 110-340 K for hole-doped MgB 2.

By investigating the bulk superconducting state via dc magnetization measurements, we have discovered a common resurgence of the superconducting transition temperatures (Tcs) of the monolayer Bi2Sr2CuO6+δ(Bi2201) and bilayer Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ(Bi2212) to beyond the maximum Tcs (Tc-maxs) predicted by the universal relation between Tcand doping (p) or pressure (P) at higher pressures. The Tcof underdoped Bi2201 initially increases from 9.6 K at ambient to a peak at 23 K at 26 GPa and then drops as expected from the universal Tc-P relation. However, at pressures above 40 GPa, Tcrises rapidly without any sign of saturation up to 30 K at 51 GPa. Similarly, the Tcfor the slightly overdoped Bi2212 increases after passing a broad valley between 20 and 36 GPa and reaches 90 K without any sign of saturation at 56 GPa. We have, therefore, attributed this Tcresurgence to a possible pressure-induced electronic transition in the cuprate compounds due to a charge transfer between the Cu 3dx2−y2and the O 2pbands projected from a hybrid bonding state, leading to an increase of the density of states at the Fermi level, in agreement with our density functional theory calculations. Similar Tc-P behavior has also been reported in the trilayer Br2Sr2Ca2Cu3O10+δ(Bi2223). These observations suggest that higher Tcs than those previously reported for the layered cuprate high-temperature superconductors can be achieved by breaking away from the universal Tc-P relation through the application of higher pressures.

Recently discovered new type of high temperature superconductors have circular molecular orbits in each unit site of 2D s/p electron system. We discuss a new model of superconductivity caused by the correlated state of electrons in the 2D interconnection of circular orbits. This model gives an estimation of the superfluidity transition temperature: T c ≈ 70-200  K for fcc C 60, and T c ≈50-150  K for MgB2 .

We report here on the structural and superconducting properties of RE 1 - 2x Pr x Ca x Sr 0.8 Ba 1.2 Cu 3 O 7 - δ (RE = Er and Gd, 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.2) high temperature superconductors. The transition temperature (Tc) of these compounds decreases when the Pr and Ca concentrations are increased. At constant Pr and Ca concentrations, the Tc of Er 1 - 2x Pr x Ca x Sr 0.8 Ba 1.2 Cu 3 O 7 - δ superconductor system is higher than that observed for the Gd 1 - 2x Pr x Ca x Sr 0.8 Ba 1.2 Cu 3 O 7 - δ system. For the Gd 0.8 Pr 0.1 Ca 0.1 Sr 0.8 Ba 1.2 Cu 3 O 7 - δ sample, after heating in argon followed by oxygen annealing, the orthorhombicity increases accompanied by 10 K increase in Tc. These results show that though our data indicate an ion-size effect, the Tc suppression rate dTc/dx depends very much on the heat treatment adopted to prepare the samples.

We review and analyze the data on the thermal conductivity of both ceramic and single crystal samples of high temperature superconductors. A universal pattern can be extracted and interpreted in the following way: phonons are the main heat carriers in these materials, and in the high temperature range the thermal conductivity κ is almost constant due to phonon scattering against disorder; below the superconducting transition temperature κ increases as phonon scattering against carriers condensing into the superconducting state decreases and at still lower temperatures there is a region in which a T2 law is obeyed that most probably is due to resonant phonon scattering against low energy excitations, i.e. tunneling systems similar to those found in disordered materials. The origin of the relevant disorder is discussed.

High Transition

Searching for new high temperature superconductors has long been a key research issue. Fe-based superconductors attract researchers’ attention due to their high transition temperature, strong irreversibility field, and excellent crystallographic symmetry. By using doping methods and dopant levels, different types of new Fe-based superconductors are synthesized. The transition temperature is a key indicator to measure whether new superconductors are high temperature superconductors. However, the condition for measuring transition temperature are strict, and the measurement process is dangerous. There is a strong relationship between the lattice parameters and the transition temperature of Fe-based superconductors. To avoid the difficulties in measuring transition temperature, in this paper, we adopt a machine learning method to build a model based on the lattice parameters to predict the transition temperature of Fe-based superconductors. The model results are in accordance with available transition temperatures, showing 91.181% accuracy. Therefore, we can use the proposed model to predict unknown transition temperatures of Fe-based superconductors.
