Comparison Of Small-Field Behaviour In Mgb2, Low And High Temperature Superconductors, Alexey V. Pan, S X. Dou Jun 2013

Comparison Of Small-Field Behaviour In Mgb2, Low And High Temperature Superconductors, Alexey V. Pan, S X. Dou

Shi Xue Dou

Different types of superconductors have been investigated at small magnetic fields (Ba) over wide temperature (T) ranges at different Ba orientations. It has been shown that the temperature dependence of the characteristic field (B*), separating the Ba-independent critical current density (Jc) plateau (single vortex pinning regime) and the region with Jc(Ba) (collective pinning), can be attributed either to the temperature dependence of the magnetic penetration depth for Nb-film and MgB2bulk superconductors, or to thermally activated processes for Bi-based superconductors and YBa2Cu3O7−δ superconducting films. In both cases the vortex pinning influence appears to have a secondary role, affecting the effective vortex …

We report for the first time the Al and C codoping effect on the structures and superconductivity in MgB2. It was found that both the lattice parameters and the Tc decreased monotonically with increasing doping level of both Al and C. The Tc dropped to 27.5 and 7 K for x=0.2 and for x =0.4, respectively. The reduction of Tc for the codoping was found to be quicker than for individual Al doping and slower than for individual C doping at the same doping levels. First-principles calculations indicated that the observed decrease in Tc …


Nanoconfinement Of Lithium Borohydride In Cu-Mofs Towards Low Temperature Dehydrogenation, W.W Sun, Shaofeng Li, Jianfeng Mao, Zaiping Guo, Hua-Kun Liu, S. X. Dou, Xuebin Yu Jun 2013

Nanoconfinement Of Lithium Borohydride In Cu-Mofs Towards Low Temperature Dehydrogenation, W.W Sun, Shaofeng Li, Jianfeng Mao, Zaiping Guo, Hua-Kun Liu, S. X. Dou, Xuebin Yu

Successful synthesis and investigation of a new material that uses copper-metal–organic frameworks (Cu-MOFs) as the template for loading LiBH4 are reported. The nanoconfinement of LiBH4 in the pores of Cu-MOFs results in an interaction between LiBH4 and Cu2+ ions, enabling the LiBH4@Cu- MOFs system to achieve a much lower dehydrogenation temperature than pristine LiBH4.


Robust High-Temperature Magnetic Pinning Induced By Proximity In Yba2cu3o7-8/La0.67sr0.33mno3 Hybrids, C.Z Chen, Z Y. Liu, Y M. Lu, L Zeng, C B. Cai, Rong Zeng, S. X. Dou Jun 2013

An elaborately designed bilayer consisting of superconducting YBa2Cu3O7-6 (YBCO) and ferromagnetic La0.67Sr0.33MnO3-6 (LSMO) was prepared on a single crystal LaAlO3 substrate by pulsed laser deposition (PLD), with a view to understanding the mechanism behind the influence of superconductor/ferromagnet proximity on the critical current density, Jc. The present bilayer system shows significant modifications in Jc, as evidenced by the suppressed decay of its temperature dependence, as well as the crossing behavior of the magnetic field dependence of Jc at high temperatures. This indicates that enhanced flux pinning emerges at high temperatures, and it is believed to arise from the special magnetic …


Room Temperature Giant And Linear Magnetoresistance In Topological Insulator Bi2te3 Nanosheets, Xiaolin Wang, Yi Du, S X. Dou, Chao Zang Jun 2013

Room Temperature Giant And Linear Magnetoresistance In Topological Insulator Bi2te3 Nanosheets, Xiaolin Wang, Yi Du, S X. Dou, Chao Zang

Shi Xue Dou

"Topological insulators, a new class of condensed matter having bulk insulating states and gapless metallic surface states, have demonstrated fascinating quantum effects. However, the potential practical applications of the topological insulators are still under exploration worldwide. We demonstrate that nanosheets of a Bi2Te3 topological insulator several quintuple layers thick display giant and linear magnetoresistance. The giant and linear magnetoresistance achieved is as high as over 600% at room temperature, with a trend towards further increase at higher temperatures, as well as being weakly temperature-dependent and linear with the field, without any sign of saturation at measured fields up to 13 …

Very fine nano-SiC particles (nm) were doped into a MgB2 superconductor. The influence of self-field supercurrent on the high-field performance of the nano-SiC-doped MgB2/Fe wires is discussed based on comparison of the critical current densities of the in situ processed nano-SiCdoped MgB2 wires and those of the nano-SiC-doped MgB2/Fe wires processed by the combination of in situ/ex situ methods.

The vortex pinning mechanisms of Ba0.72K0.28Fe2As2 single crystal have been studied systematically as a function of temperature and magnetic field. The temperature dependence of the critical current density, Jc(T), was analysed within the collective pinning model at different magnetic fields. It was found that both the dl pinning mechanism, i.e., pinning associated with charge-carrier mean free path fluctuation, and the dTc pinning mechanism, which is associated with spatial fluctuations of the transition temperature, coexist in the Ba0.72K0.28Fe2As2 single crystal in fields smaller than 4 T. Their contributions are strongly temperature and magnetic field dependent. At lower temperature and B


Temperature Effect On Microstructure And Electromagnetic Performance Of Polycarbosilane And Sugar-Doped Mgb2 Wires, Andrey V. Shcherbakov, Josip Horvat, Olga V. Shcherbakova, Nikolina Novosel, Emil Babic, S. X. Dou Jun 2013

The effect of processing temperature on structural and superconducting properties of 10 wt.% sugar- and 10 wt.% PCS-doped MgB2 wires is systematically investigated. It is demonstrated that these dopants significantly enhance the electromagnetic performance of Fe-clad MgB2 superconductor and increase its potential for practical application. The enhancement of in-field critical current density (Jc(Ba)) and upper critical field (Bc2) is due to formation of a large amount of lattice defects caused by impurities and C substitution into the MgB2 crystal lattice. High temperature sintering of sugar-doped sample results in as high Bc2 value as 37 T (at 5 K), which correlates …


Impact Of Sintering Temperature On The Physical Properties Of The Superconducting Ferromagnet: Rusr2eu1.5ce0.5cu2o10, Rashmi Nigam, Alexey V. Pan, S X. Dou Jun 2013

Impact Of Sintering Temperature On The Physical Properties Of The Superconducting Ferromagnet: Rusr2eu1.5ce0.5cu2o10, Rashmi Nigam, Alexey V. Pan, S X. Dou

We report the influence of the sintering temperature on the electromagnetic behavior for the RuSr2Eu1.5Ce0.5Cu2O10 material, in which superconductivity and ferromagnetism coexist. The inadequate heat treatment results in the coexistence of the secondary Ru-1212 phase along with the dominant Ru-1222 phase. The presence of two phases leads to the magnetic superposition of the signals from both phases, which results in the observation of a small peak around 120–130 K. In the pure Ru-1222 no such magnetic anomaly is observed. In addition, the impure samples exhibit a double step superconductivity transition. In the normal state, these impure samples exhibit a semiconductinglike …
