We present the results of superconductivity, normal state magnetic susceptibility and heat capacity measurements on the tetragonal CaLa 1-x Pr x BaCu 3 O 7 compound. Ac susceptibility measurements show that the transition temperature T c of the unsubstituted sample decreases with an increase in the Pr concentration. Normal state dc magnetic susceptibility measurements performed in an applied field of 0.5 T show a Curie–Weiss behaviour in terms of the paramagnetic moment of Pr. The effective paramagnetic moment of Pr appears to be intermediate between those of the free Pr 3+ and Pr 4+ ions. For the nonsuperconducting samples i.e., x = 0.70 and 1.0, we observe an antiferromagnetic ordering temperature T N of nearly 4 K and 8 K respectively. The X-ray diffraction results show that the CaPrBaCu 3 O 7 compound is free from other phases, having a minor (less than 8%, in terms of peak intensity) impurity phase. The lower T N (8 K) of PrBaCaCu 3 O 7 as compared to the known antiferromagnetic ordering temperature of 17 K for PrBa 2 Cu 3 O 7 indicates a less deleterious effect of Pr in the present case.

We present an analysis of the finite temperature Chern–Simons superconductivity model within the mean field framework. Using analytical and numerical means we compute the changes in the magnetic susceptibility, conductivity, the dielectric constant, and the specific heat as the temperature is increased. Over a narrow range of temperatures the properties of the system show a smooth transition to the normal state. Accompanying this is the near vanishing of the off-diagonal conductivity, signifying the effective restoration of parity and time reversal symmetries.

The electrical and magnetic properties of ( Y 1-x-y Zr x Ca y) Ba 2 Cu 3 O 7-δ ceramics are investigated by using resistivity, ac and dc susceptibility measurements. X-ray powder diffraction has been used to find the lattice parameters of the samples. The samples are orthorhombic, except the sample with x=0.15 and y=0.2 which is tetragonal. All the samples are superconducting. There is no significant change in Tc for the Zr-doped ( Y 1-x Zr x) Ba 2 Cu 3 O 7-δ samples, while for the ( Y 0.85-y Zr 0.15 Ca y) Ba 2 Cu 3 O 7-δ compounds the Tc decrease with the dopant content and they show temperature dependent dc magnetic susceptibility, in the normal state.
