AbstractThe critical current density, Jc, of single crystals of Ba2YCu3O7 is comparable to that of melt-textured-growth materials as well as to the intragrain Jc of bulk polycrystalline Ba2YCu3O7. Typical values at 77 K and 9 kOe are near 5x 103 A/cm2, and are presumably limited by weak pinning. We have obtained a significant enhancement of this pinning-limited Jc by three techniques: 1) a short reannealing procedure, 2) fast neutron irradiation, and 3) proton irradiation. Interestingly, the combination of the first technique followed by either irradiation is not as effective as the iradiation alone. That is, the best candidates for irradiation are not necessarily those with the highest initial Jc.

AbstractWe have used magnetization measurements to study the effect of proton irradiation on the critical current density of a YBaCuO single crystal. We have obtained a maximum value of 1.5x105 A/cm2 at 77 K and 1 T at a fluence of 2 x 1016 cm-2, representing a 50-fold increase with respect to the unirradiated sample.

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.
