ABSTRACTSuperconducting Ba0.6K0.4BiO3, with a Tc of 30K, shows a large 18O isotope effect which indicates that phonons are involved in the pairing mechanism. Infrared reflectivity measurements indicate a value for the superconducting gap consistent with moderate coupling (2Δ/kTc = 3.5 ± 0.5). A mediating energy for pairing of about 40 meV would be required to obtain a Tc of 30K. Strong coupling of electrons by optical phonons (which are present in this material with energies up to 80 meV) could account for the observed transition temperature. Recent tunneling spectroscopy shows the presence of strongly coupled optical phonons in the 40 to 70 meV region, indicating that superconductivity in this material may be phonon mediated.

From analysis of the in-plane resistivity ρ ab ( T ) of La 2− x Sr x CuO 4 , we show that normal state transport in overdoped cuprates can be delineated into two regimes in which the electrical resistivity varies approximately linearly with temperature. In the low-temperature limit, the T -linear resistivity extends over a very wide doping range, in marked contrast to expectations from conventional quantum critical scenarios. The coefficient of this T -linear resistivity scales with the superconducting transition temperature T c , implying that the interaction causing this anomalous scattering is also associated with the superconducting pairing mechanism. At high temperatures, the coefficient of the T -linear resistivity is essentially doping independent beyond a critical doping p crit =0.19 at which the ratio of the two coefficients is maximal. Taking our cue from earlier thermodynamic and photoemission measurements, we conclude that the opening of the normal-state pseudogap at p crit is driven by the loss of coherence of anti-nodal quasi-particles at low temperatures.

The preparation and aromatization by human placental microsomes of androst-4-ene-3-ones labelled with deuterium at C-4, C-6α, C-6β, C-16, and C-19 is described. Deuterium nmr spectra are reported for these compounds and for a sample of a 1,2-dideuterated androst-4-ene-3-one; the latter is formed nonstereospecifically by reduction of the C-1(2) double bond of a Δ1,4-diene-3-one. Aromatization by placental microsomes occurs with retention of deuterium at C-4 and C-6, but with some loss from C-16. The aromatization of 19-d1 and 19,19,19-d3 steroids in the presence of 16,16-d2 steroids has been carried out to determine the deuterium isotope effect for the oxidative removal of C-19. The values obtained (kH/kD for 19-d1 = 2.3, kH/kD for 19,19, 19-d3 = 3.2) are a combination of primary and secondary effects, but suggest that oxidation at C-19 is a rate-limiting reaction of the biosynthetic sequence.The fungus Pellicularia filamentosa NRRL 2727, reported to hydroxylate androst-4-ene-3,17-dione at C-19, gave only the products of hydroxylation at C-11α, C-11β, and C-14.
