Anisotropic superconducting properties of aligned MgB(2) crystallites.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Samples of aligned MgB(2) crystallites have been prepared, allowing for the first time the direct identification of an upper critical field anisotropy H(ab)(c2)/H(c)(c2) = xi(ab)/xi(c) approximately 1.7, with xi(o,ab) approximately 70 A, xi(o,c) approximately 40 A, and a mass anisotropy ratio m(ab)/m(c) approximately 0.3. A ferromagnetic background signal was identified, possibly related to the raw materials purity.

2 00 1 Detailed electronic structure studies on superconducting MgB 2 and related compounds
Our recent electronic structure studies on series of transition metal diborides indicated that the electron phonon coupling constant is much smaller in these materials than in superconducting intermetallics. However experimental studies recently show an exceptionally large superconducting transition temperature of 40 K in MgB 2. In order to understand the unexpected superconducting behavior of ...
متن کاملAnisotropy parameters of superconducting
Data on macroscopic superconducting anisotropy of MgB 2 are reviewed. The data are described within a weak coupling two-gaps anisotropic s-wave model of super-conductivity. The calculated ratio of the upper critical fields γ H = H c2,ab /H c2,c increases with decreasing temperature in agreement with available data, whereas the calculated ratio of London penetration depths γ λ = λ c /λ ab decrea...
متن کاملSuperconducting properties of MgB2 from first principles.
Solid MgB(2) has rather interesting and technologically important properties, such as a very high superconducting transition temperature. Focusing on this compound, we report the first nontrivial application of a novel density-functional-type theory for superconductors, recently proposed by the authors. Without invoking any adjustable parameters, we obtain the transition temperature, the gaps, ...
متن کاملTransport Properties of Mgb 2
1. Introduction The discovery of the superconductivity in MgB 2 [1] at a temperature as high as 39 K has stimulated a enormous interest about the comprehension of its mechanism [2][3]. The study of the electron transport properties may give an insight into the normal state conduction process and into the electronic structure of MgB 2. From this point of view the results are contradictory. In fa...
متن کاملMetallurgical phases and their magnetism at the interface of nanoscale MgB2/Fe layered structures.
We report on the characterization of metallurgical phases and their magnetism at the interfaces of nanoscale MgB(2)/Fe layered structures. MgB(2)/(57)Fe multilayers with varying layer thicknesses were prepared by vacuum deposition and investigated, before and after annealing by electrical resistance measurements, x-ray diffraction and (57)Fe conversion-electron Mössbauer spectroscopy (CEMS) dow...
