AbstractA comparative analysis of the changes in the fluctuation conductivity and characteristics of the superconducting state of YBa2Cu3O7–δ single crystals caused by various types of defects is carried out. These defects appeared due to irradiation with high-energy electrons (radiation doses from 1.4 to 8.8 1018 cm–2), changes in oxygen deficiency (0.08 ≤ δ ≤ 0.23) due to annealing at different temperatures, or doping with praseodymium (Y1–zPrzBa2Cu3O7−δ, 0 ≤ z ≤ 0.5 at optimal oxygen concentration). It is shown that the introduction of such defects leads to a significant expansion of the temperature range of the existence of excess conductivity, and upon doping with praseodymium, it also leads to the appearance of a thermally activated deflection on the temperature dependence of the electrical resistance. The effect of such defects on the superconducting transition temperature, Tc, and the coherence length along the c axis, ξc(0), is studied. In particular, ξc(0) more than quadruples (at z = 0.43), while the 2D-3D crossover point shifts towards higher temperatures. Possible reasons for the suppression of superconductivity in YBa2Cu3O7–δ upon irradiation with fast electrons and the qualitatively different temperature dependences of its resistivity in the basal plane, ρab (T), are discussed.

We report on the synthesis and physical properties of cm-sized CoGeO3 single crystals grown in a high pressure mirror furnace at pressures of 80 bar. Direction dependent magnetic susceptibility measurements on our single crystals reveal highly anisotropic magnetic properties that we attribute to the impact of strong single ion anisotropy appearing in this system with TN∼33.5 K. Furthermore, we observe effective magnetic moments that are exceeding the spin only values of the Co ions, which reveals the presence of sizable orbital moments in CoGeO3.

The crystalline electric field parameters Anmfor HoFe11Ti under different pressures were evaluated by fitting calculations to the magnetization curves measured on the single crystals at several temperatures. It was found that magneto-crystalline anisotropy has been changed by high pressure and the Anmfor HoFe11Ti under high pressures are strikingly different from Anmfor the corresponding HoFe11Ti H with interstitial hydrogen atom.

Abstract. The formation of high-pressure oxyhydroxide phases spanned by the components AlOOH–FeOOH–MgSiO2(OH)2 in experiments suggests their capability to retain hydrogen in Earth's lower mantle. Understanding the vibrational properties of high-pressure phases provides the basis for assessing their thermal properties, which are required to compute phase diagrams and physical properties. Vibrational properties can be highly anisotropic, in particular for materials with crystal structures of low symmetry that contain directed structural groups or components. We used nuclear resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (NRIXS) to probe lattice vibrations that involve motions of 57Fe atoms in δ-(Al0.87Fe0.13)OOH single crystals. From the recorded single-crystal NRIXS spectra, we calculated projections of the partial phonon density of states along different crystallographic directions. To describe the anisotropy of central vibrational properties, we define and derive tensors for the partial phonon density of states, the Lamb–Mössbauer factor, the mean kinetic energy per vibrational mode, and the mean force constant of 57Fe atoms. We further show how the anisotropy of the Lamb–Mössbauer factor can be translated into anisotropic displacement parameters for 57Fe atoms and relate our findings on vibrational anisotropy to the crystal structure of δ-(Al,Fe)OOH. As a potential application of single-crystal NRIXS at high pressures, we discuss the evaluation of anisotropic thermal stresses in the context of elastic geobarometry for mineral inclusions. Our results on single crystals of δ-(Al,Fe)OOH demonstrate the sensitivity of NRIXS to vibrational anisotropy and provide an in-depth description of the vibrational behavior of Fe3+ cations in a crystal structure that may motivate future applications of NRIXS to study anisotropic vibrational properties of minerals.

Single crystals of a GeO2–TiO2 solid solution with the corresponding composition Ge0.57Ti0.43O2 (germanium titanium tetraoxide) were obtained by devitrification of germania-titania glass at high pressure and temperature. The new compound crystallizes in the rutile structure type (space group P42/mnm), where Ge and Ti share the same position M (site symmetry m.mm), with occupancy values of 0.57 (3) and 0.43 (3), respectively, and one O-atom position (m.2m). The M site is in a sixfold O-atom coordination and, as in the original TiO2 rutile structure, an elongation of the O—M—O bonds along the c-axis direction of the coordination polyhedron and deviation of the angles from 90° lead to a decrease in the coordination symmetry from octahedral to tetragonal. The Ge and Ti atoms are fully disordered in the structure, which indicates that the rutile structure is surprisingly pliant given the differing sizes of the two cations.
