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 composition dependence of superconductivity and crystal structure in La ( Ba 1−x Ca x)2 Cu 3 O 7−y system was determined by the resistivity measurements and X-ray diffraction analysis. The superconducting transition temperature is raised with the increase of Ca content till x=0.6, at which the zero resistance temperature of the sample is 81.5 K. In the meanwhile, the crystal structure of the sample changed from tetragonal (x=0) to orthorhombic structure (x=0.2, 0.4, 0.6). With further increase of Ca content, the superconductivity decrease for the sample of x=0.8 with mixed phases including the orthorhombic oxygen-deficient perovskite-like (ODP) structure and no superconducting transition is found at 4.2 K for the sample of x=1 without the ODP structure. A possible explanation of these experimental results is given.

The Difference

ABSTRACTWe report ultra-low-field (5 mOe - 1 Oe) magnetic measurements on a ceramic sample of YBaCuO. A positive remanent moment is observed which accurately equals the difference of the field-cooled and zero-field-cooled moments throughout the temperature range. At higher fields this relationship breaks down. A reversible region is observed near the superconducting transition temperature which is independent of field. These results are discussed in the context of recent models.

ABSTRACTMelt spinning was used to rapidly quench V2CrA11-xBx and Ti3Nb6Mo3Si4 alloys. Melt spinning had very little effect on the crystal structure of the V2CrA11-xBx alloys. However, a new (NbTiMo)3 Si A–15 phase was found by rapid quenching of the Ti3Nb6Mo3Si4 alloys; the lattice parameter was 5.08 Å. Melt spinning increased the Vickers microhardness values of the V2CrA11-xBx alloys from 500 to 750, and of the Ti3Nb6Mo3Si4 alloys from 1000 to as high as 1675. Melt spinning increased the superconducting transition temperature of the Ti3Nb6Mo3Si4 alloys from 1.9 to 3.4K.
