چکیده

The thermal conductivity kappa of the layered s-wave superconductor NbSe2 was measured down to T(c)/100 throughout the vortex state. With increasing field, we identify two regimes: one with localized states at fields very near H(c1) and one with highly delocalized quasiparticle excitations at higher fields. The two associated length scales are naturally explained as multiband superconductivity, with distinct small and large superconducting gaps on different sheets of the Fermi surface. This behavior is compared to that of the multiband superconductor MgB2 and the conventional superconductor V3Si.

Multiband superconductivity in NbSe2 from heat transport

The thermal conductivity of the layered s-wave superconductor NbSe2 was measured down to Tc/100 throughout the vortex state. With increasing field, we identify two regimes: one with localized states at fields very near Hc1 and one with highly delocalized quasiparticle excitations at higher fields. The two associated length scales are most naturally explained as multi-band superconductivity, wit...

Experimental evidence for a two-band superconducting state of NbSe2 single crystals

We report on measurements and a detailed analysis of the reversible magnetization of superconducting NbSe2 single crystals. By comparing the experimental data with Ginzburg Landau theory we show that superconductivity in NbSe2 cannot be explained by an anisotropic single-band but by a multiband scenario. Applying a simple two-band model reveals the basic mixed-state parameters, which are quite ...

Gap Symmetry and Thermal Conductivity in Nodal Superconductors

Here we consider the universal heat conduction and the angular dependent thermal conductivity in the vortex state for a few nodal superconductors. We present the thermal conductivity as a function of impurity concentration and the angular dependent thermal conductivity in a few nodal superconductors. This provides further insight in the gap symmetry of superconductivity in Sr2RuO4 and UPd2Al3.

خواص ساختاری، الکترونی و دینامیک شار ابررسانای Gd (Ba2-x) Cu3O7+δ

  The Gd(Ba2-xPrx)Cu3O single phase polycrystalline samples with 0.00 ≤ x ≤ 1.00 were investigated for structural, electronic and flux dynamic properties. An unusual hump on the resistivity vs. temperature curve of the samples has been observed for particular values of Pr doping. We have found that the Ba atom substitution at the rare earth site could lead to superconductivity in some parts of ...

Signature of coexistence of superconductivity and ferromagnetism in two-dimensional NbSe2 triggered by surface molecular adsorption

Ferromagnetism is usually deemed incompatible with superconductivity. Consequently, the coexistence of superconductivity and ferromagnetism is usually observed only in elegantly designed multi-ingredient structures in which the two competing electronic states originate from separate structural components. Here we report the use of surface molecular adsorption to induce ferromagnetism in two-dim...
