ABSTRACTMicrowave absorption measurements from 20 to 80 K in magnetic fields up to 12 kG are reported. Below a certain characteristic temperature T* = 80 ± 2 K < Tc the absorption in magnetic-field-cooled samples is smaller and broader in comparison to the zero-field-cooled samples. The incident microwave radiation induces a dc voltage across the sample which is also magnetic field dependent and peaks at zero magnetic field.

ABSTRACTWe report measurements of an apparent magnetic-field-dependent absorption (imaginary part of the a.c. magnetic susceptibility) in superconducting Y1Ba2Cu3O7 ceramics and crystals. The absorption, which is observed over a wide range of frequencies but only when the material is below the superconducting transition temperature, is characterized by a narrow (∼ 30 Gauss FWHM at 6 MHz) peak and a wide (> 10 kG) feature, both of which are maximum at zero magnetic field. The absorption strength varies approximately as one over the square root of the frequency. The unusual magnetic-field-dependent peaks in the magnetic susceptibility are inherent in single grains and therefore do not originate from intergrain Josephson currents or multigrain (i.e., percolative) loops. The susceptibility peaks must be due to bulk behavior, interactons at grain surfaces, intragrain current loops, or intra-grain Josephson Junctions.

AbstractWe report on observation of strong non-local photoconducitivity induced by terahertz laser pulses in non-zero magnetic field in heterostructures based on Hg1−xCdxTe films being in the topological phase. While the zero-field non-local photoconductivity is negligible, it is strongly enhanced in magnetic fields ~ 0.05 T resulting in appearance of an edge photocurrent that exceeds the respective dark signal by orders of magnitude. This photocurrent is chiral, and the chirality changes every time the magnetic field or the electric bias is reversed. Appearance of the non-local terahertz photoconductivity is attributed to features of the interface between the topological film and the trivial buffer.

Magnetization of paramagnetic ions with spin S=1 in solid state at zero magnetic field is shown can be created by pulse manipulation of electron spins rather than by external magnetic fields. For this purpose, crossed microwave pulses with different initial phases or pulses of finite duration are proposed. Resonance cases when the frequency of microwave pulses coincides with the frequency of level splitting in the zero field are described. The effect of magnetization pulse creation has some similarities with the alignment-orientation transformation observed in optical experiments.

YbAl 3 is an intermediate valent compound with a Kondo temperature T K in excess of 500 K and a rather low conduction electron density of ~0.5/atom. Recent measurements are suggestive of a second energy scale T coh of order 50 K that dominates the low temperature ( T ≪ T coh ) thermodynamic properties. Previous de Haas-van Alphen (dHvA) measurements on YbAl 3 in magnetic fields to 17 T reveal a fairly simple Fermi surface with 6 branches having effective masses m* ranging from 8 to 24 m0 (see Refs. [2-3]). We report magnetization and dHvA results on YbAl 3 in pulsed magnetic fields up to 60 T. For T ≪ T coh we indeed find that the magnetization 'crosses' over from the zero field energy scale T coh to the high temperature energy scale T K at a magnetic field B * ≈ 40 T (≈ K B T coh /μB). For B > B *, we find dHvA oscillations when magnetic field is applied along the <100>, <110> and <111> directions. For magnetic field applied along <111>, the Fermi surface changes very little for B > B*, and the effective masses are all reduced by a factor of 2-3 relative to their low field values. This is due to the large change in the characteristic temperature, which goes from T coh below B * to T K above B *. We believe this is the first work to directly observe the two energy scales and to observe the crossover in the dominant energy scale as a function of magnetic field.

Bulk polycrystalline samples of nano- Mo doped MgB 2 were synthesized by Fe tube encapsulation at ambient pressure under argon annealing (850°C). Mo substitution takes place successfully at the Mg site in Mg 1-x Mo x B 2 only till x=0.2. For higher (x>0.2) Mo content the same did not enter the MgB 2 lattice but rather forms an isomorphic lattice in the host with decreased c but an increased a-parameter. The ρ(T) measurements showed superconducting transition temperature (T c ) of around 36 K for all the samples till x=0.3 and slightly decreased values of 35 and 34 K for x=0.4 and 0.5 samples, respectively. Resistivity under magnetic field [R(T)H] experiments showed distinct single peaks in dρ/dT for all applied fields up to 8 Tesla. The estimated upper critical field H c2 is 8 Tesla for pristine and x=0.2 samples at 15.6 and 19 K, respectively. Thus H c2 increases up to x=0.20 samples and decreases afterwards. Magnetic susceptibility measurements exhibited sharp transition to superconducting state with a sizeable diamagnetic signal at 38 K (T c ) in zero field-cooled measurements. Commendable current density (J c ) of up to 105 A/cm2 in 1–2 T (Tesla) fields at temperatures (T) of up to 10 K is seen from magnetization measurements invoking the Bean's critical state model for pristine samples. For higher fields above 2.5 Tesla the J c (H) characteristics of x=0.1 and 0.2 samples were found to be slightly superior to that for pristine samples with enhanced H irr (irreversibility field).

We investigate the Landau level structures and the electron and hole effective g factors in InAs / GaSb quantum wells under electric and quantizing magnetic fields perpendicular to interfaces. In these structures, the lowest electron level in InAs can be below the highest heavy-hole level in GaSb at zero magnetic field B. Thus the electron and hole levels anticross with the increasing magnetic field and the strong dependence of the Landau level structures as well as g factors on B is obtained. We have found that the voltage across the structure and the lattice-mismatched strain also produce the essential changes in the Landau level structures as well as the electron and hole g factors.

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.
