1 Peak effect and its evolution with defect structure in YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7 − δ thin films at microwave frequencies
نویسنده
چکیده
The vortex dynamics in YBa2Cu3O7−δ thin films have been studied at microwave frequencies. A pronounced peak in the surface resistance, Rs, is observed in these films at frequencies of 4.88 and 9.55 GHz for magnetic fields varying from 0.2 T to 0.8 T. The peak is associated with an order-disorder transformation of the flux line lattice as the temperature or field is increased. The occurrence of the peak in Rs is crucially dependent on the depinning frequency, ωp and on the nature and concentration of growth defects present in these films. Introduction of artificial defects by swift heavy ion irradiation with 200 MeV Ag ion at a fluence of 4 × 10 ions /cm enhances ωp and suppresses the peak at 4.88 GHz but the peak at 9.55 GHz remains unaffected. A second peak at lower temperature has also been observed at 9.55 GHz. This is related to twin boundaries from angular dependence studies of Rs. Based on the temperature variation of Rs, vortex phase diagrams have been constructed at 9.55 GHz.

Critical Current Density of YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7 − δ Low - Angle Grain Boundaries in Self - Field
A study has been perfomed on the superconducting critical current density Jc flowing across low angle grain boundaries in epitaxial thin films of YBa2Cu3O7−δ (YBCO). The materials studied were dual grain boundary rings deposited on SrTiO3 and containing 2 , 3, 5 and 7 tilt boundaries. The current density in self-field was determined by magnetometric methods at temperatures from 5 K to Tc. We co...

متن کاملAdvantageous grain boundaries in iron pnictide superconductors
High critical temperature superconductors have zero power consumption and could be used to produce ideal electric power lines. The principal obstacle in fabricating superconducting wires and tapes is grain boundaries-the misalignment of crystalline orientations at grain boundaries, which is unavoidable for polycrystals, largely deteriorates critical current density. Here we report that high cri...
متن کاملComment on "Photoemission study of YBa(2)Cu(3)O(y) thin films under light illumination".
Heterojunctions of Nb-doped SrTiO3 substrate and YBa(2)Cu(3)O(y) thin films show photoconductivity and photovoltaic effects due to photocarrier injection. Photocarrier injection is expected to be a new carrier doping method in strongly correlated systems instead of chemical substitution. We have studied the nature of photocarrier injection in YBa(2)Cu(3)O(y)/SrTiO(3):Nb using x-ray photoemissio...
متن کاملOne Dimensional Oxygen Ordering in Yba 2 Cu 3 O 7−δ
A model consisting of oxygen-occupied and-vacant chains is considered, with repulsive first and second nearest-neighbor interactions V 1 and V 2 , respectively. The statistical mechanics and the diffraction spectrum of the model is solved exactly and analytically with the only assumption V 1 >> V 2. At temperatures T ∼ V 1 only a broad maximum at (1/2,0,0) is present, while for | δ − 1/2 |> 1/1...
