ABSTRACTLarge single crystals of Tl2Ba2CaCu2O8 superconductors were grown by a two step self-flux process. Crystals are plate-like. The in-plane crystal sizes are as large as 5mmX5mm and the thickness range from 0.01mm to 0.8mm. The critical currents were extracted from I-V curves measured at different temperatures. jc was about 2.4×104 A/cm2 at liquid nitrogen temperature.

The variation of critical current density for flux flow with thickness has been measured for crystals of NbSe2 between 10−6 and 0.03 cm thick. The dominant behavior is that [Formula: see text] (thickness)−1 and this is interpreted as evidence for surface pinning predominating over bulk pinning of the flux lines.

Pinning Mechanism

Abstract Fe1+yTe0.6Se0.4 has considerable application potential due to its large critical current density (J c) and high upper critical magnetic field (H c2). However, the uncertainty of the anisotropy of J c and the unclear flux-pinning mechanism have limited the application of this material. In this study, the J c in three directions were obtained from magnetic hysteresis loop measurements. A large anisotropy of J c ab /J c c ~ 10 was observed, and the origin of the anisotropy was discussed in details. Flux pinning force densities (F p) were obtained from J c, and a non-scaling behavior was found in the normalized pinning force f p[F p/F p-max] versus the normalized field h[H/H c2]. The peaks of pinning force shift from a high h to a low h with increasing temperature. Based on the vortex dynamics analysis, the peak shift was found to originate from the magnetization relaxation. The J c and F p at critical states free from the magnetic relaxation were regained. According to the Dew-Hughes model, the dominant pinning type in Fe1+yTe0.6Se0.4 clean single crystals was confirmed to be normal point pinning.

Theoretical Understanding

The discovery of high temperature superconductivity (HTSC) in oxide compounds has confronted materials scientists with many challenging problems. These include the preparation of ceramic samples with critical current density of about 106 A/cm2 at 77 K and sufficient mechanical strength for large-scale electrotechnical and magnetic applications and the preparation of epitaxial thin films of high structural perfection for electronic devices.The main interest in the growth of single crystals is for the study of physical phenomena, which will help achieve a theoretical understanding of HTSC. Theorists still do not agree on the fundamental mechanisms of HTSC, and there is a need for good data on relatively defect-free materials in order to test the many models. In addition, the study of the role of defects like twins, grain boundaries, and dislocations in single crystals is important for understanding such parameters as the critical current density. The study of HTSC with single crystals is also expected to be helpful for finding optimum materials for the various applications and hopefully achieving higher values of the superconducting transition temperature Tc than the current maximum of about 125 K. It seems unlikely at present that single crystals will be used in commercial devices, but this possibility cannot be ruled out as crystal size and quality improve.

Grain Size And Orientation

The effect of nanosized Bi2O3 (150 nm) on the formation of the Tl2Ba2CaCu2O8 (Tl-2212) phase, transition temperature and transport critical current density has been studied. Samples with nominal starting composition Tl2Ba2CaCu2O8(Bi2O3)x (x = 0 to 0.5 wt. %) were prepared using the solid state reaction method. Most samples except x = 0.5 showed a mixed phase consisting of the Tl2Ba2CaCu2O8 and Tl2Ba2Ca2Cu3O10 (Tl-2223). The x = 0.5 sample showed a single Tl-2212 phase. However, the transition temperature, Tc of the x = 0.5 was very much suppressed (Tonset = 106 K, Tc zero 88 K). All samples showed random grain size and orientation, with partial melting and high porosity. The x = 0.1 mixed phase sample showed the highest transport critical current density of 285 mA/cm2 at liquid nitrogen temperature (78 K).
