Physical properties of the noncentrosymmetric superconductor Nb0.18Re0.82
We report the synthesis and measurements of magnetic, transport, and thermal properties of polycrystalline Nb0.18Re0.82, which has a superconducting transition at Tc ∼ 8.8 K. The noncentrosymmetric α-Mn structure of the compound is confirmed by x-ray diffraction. Using the measured values for the lower critical field Hc1, upper critical field Hc2, and the specific heat C, we estimate the thermo...

for an Invited Paper for the MAR10 Meeting of The American Physical Society Tuning the Quantum Stability and Superconductivity of Ultrathin Metal Alloys1 HANNO WEITERING, The University of Tennessee Superconductivity is inevitably suppressed in reduced dimensionality. In this talk, I will show how quantum confinement of itinerant electrons in a soft metal, Pb, can be exploited to stabilize atom...
متن کامل0 Fluctuation Effects in High Sheet Resistance Superconducting Films ∗
As the normal state sheet resistance, Rn, of a thin film superconductor increases, its superconducting properties degrade. For Rn ≃ h/4e superconductivity disappears and a transition to a nonsuperconducting state occurs. We present electron tunneling and transport measurements on ultrathin, homogeneously disordered superconducting films in the vicinity of this transition. The data provide stron...
متن کاملInterface high-temperature superconductivity
Cuprate high-temperature superconductors consist of two quasi-two-dimensional (2D) substructures: CuO2 superconducting layers and charge reservoir layers. The superconductivity is realized by charge transfer from the charge reservoir layers into the superconducting layers without chemical dopants and defects being introduced into the latter, similar to modulationdoping in the semiconductor supe...
متن کاملHigh-resolution scanning tunneling spectroscopy of magnetic impurity induced bound states in the superconducting gap of Pb thin films.
Tunneling spectra for individual atoms and dimers of Mn and Cr adsorbed on superconducting Pb thin films were measured by a low temperature scanning tunneling microscope. Multiple-resonance structures within the superconducting gap on the adsorbates were resolved and interpreted as the magnetic impurity-induced bound states associated with different scattering channels. The experiment demonstra...
