ABSTRACTBulk samples of YBa2Cu3O7−x have been homogenously irradiated with 3 MeV electrons at temperatures below 20 K. Whereas the superconducting transition temperature, Tc, drops dramatically with increasing dose the width of the transition remains unchanged (Δ Tc ≤ 1.5 K). The normal state resistance at 100 K increases substantially during the electron irradiation. Several irreproducible experiments can be interpreted with a radiation induced, unstable increase of Tc.

The pressure dependence of the superconductivity of the Tl-Ba-Ca-Cu-O sample with T c >110 K was studied. It is observed that the superconducting transition temperature increases at the rate of d T co / d P≈1.83 K/GPa up to 1.8K/GPa and the gentle steps of T c are always followed by a jump of the normal state resistance which is considered exhibiting the change of some fine structure related to the Cu-O planes.

Abstract The kagome metals AV3Sb5 (A = K, Rb, Cs) under ambient pressure exhibit an unusual charge order, from which superconductivity emerges. In this work, by applying hydrostatic pressure using a liquid pressure medium and carrying out electrical resistance measurements for RbV3Sb5, we find the charge order becomes suppressed under a modest pressure p c (1.4 < p c < 1.6 GPa), while the superconducting transition temperature T c is maximized. T c is then gradually weakened with further increase of pressure and reaches a minimum around 14.3 GPa, before exhibiting another maximum around 22.8 GPa, signifying the presence of a second superconducting dome. Distinct behaviors in the normal state resistance are found to be associated with the second superconducting dome, similar to KV3Sb5. Our findings point to qualitatively similar temperature-pressure phase diagrams in KV3Sb5 and RbV3Sb5, and suggest a close link between the second superconducting dome and the high-pressure normal state resistance.

We have studied the pressure effects of superconducting Ba 1−x K x BiO 3 for x=0.25, 0.30, 0.35 and 0.40 up to ~16 kbar . The superconducting transition temperature, Tc, increases linearly with pressure, P. We have found that dTc/dP decreases with increasing Tc, and reaches ~0 around Tc~29 K. For the x=0.35 sample, resistance reappears below Tc for pressure >12 kbar. This resistance depends strongly on the applied current. It becomes greater than the normal state resistance and noisy at high current.

Occurrence Of Superconductivity

Electrical, magnetic and crystallographic measurements have been carried out for the pseudoquaternary Ho ( Ba 2−x Sr x) Cu 3 O 7−δ system in order to check the systematic variation of superconducting transition temperature T c , normal state electrical resistivity and phase boundary. T c decreases monotonically with the increasing Sr substitution and drops sharply to zero for x≥1.6. No resisitivity anomaly was observed.

ABSTRACTZn substitution for Cu in YBa2Cu3O7 rapidly reduces the superconducting transition temperature, Tc. Superconductivity is quenched between x=0.08 (T =30 K) and x=0.10. The normal state paramagnetism grows with Zn substu-tition, presumably due to increased localization on the Cu sublattice. Susceptibility studies of oxygen depleted (nonsuperconducting) Zn-substituted samples support this. Strong non-linear isothermal magnetization suggesting an internal magnetic field is found at T=4.2 K in samples with Zn concentration near to the critical value for suppression of superconductivity. The results are discussed in terms of increased localization of d-electrons on the Cu sites with increasing Zn concentration, which is consistent with recent EPR data.

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.
