Effect of the magnetic prehistory on the temperature dependence of the heat capacity of the superconducting Pb, La, Sn. has been studied. As soon as the external magnetic field riches the valueHext=HCthe superconductivity is completely destroyed. The trapped flux was produced in the ring specimen after the magnetic field was turned off atT<TC. We observed a difference of the value of the heat capacity between zero field cooled (ZFC) and field cooled (FC) states in zero magnetic field for the ring specimen. It is found that the FC heat capacity is smaller than the heat capacity both in the normal and in superconducting states.

ABSTRACTUpon the application of an external magnetic field, the magnetic spins in a material partially align with the field, thereby reducing the magnetic entropy of the spin system. When performed adiabatically, the specimen's temperature will rise. This temperature rise, δT, related to the entropy change by the heat capacity, is known as the magnetocaloric effect. Upon cycling the magnetic field, this effect can be used for transferring heat from one thermal reservoir to another, forming the basis for a magnetic refrigerator. Recently, NIST scientists predicted composite magnetic materials containing nanometer-size magnetic species could possess enhanced magnetocaloric effects [1-2], especially at high temperatures or low magnetic fields. Magnetic nanocomposites may be prepared in many different ways, and recent magnetocaloric effect data measured on Fe-doped gadolinium gallium garnets are presented to show both the effect of processing and a methodology for optimizing δT.

AbstractWe study the simultaneous effect of the external magnetic field and finite chemical potential on deconfinement of heavy quarks, probed by the Polyakov loop and its fluctuations. We calculate the Polyakov loop, its real and imaginary susceptibilities, their ratio, as well as the heavy quark and anti-quark entropies. We find that these quantities are sensitive probes of deconfinement. Especially, the real Polyakov loop susceptibility and heavy quark and anti-quark entropies diverge at the critical point.
