Ultrasonic Studies of Textured Superconducting Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+y in Magnetic Fields
نویسندگان
چکیده
Measurements have been made of ultrasonic shear wave attenuation and sound velocity in highly textured polycrystalline samples of Bi~SrzCaCuzOs+,in magnetic fields up to 9 telsa and at temperatures down to 4.2 K. Magnetic field dependent attenuation peaks and velocity enhancements were found that are in good agreement with theoretical predictions based on the assumptions of the thermally assisted flux flow model of the mixed state. A pinning activation energy of -160 K was deduced fiom the ultrasonic data. Pinning energy showed little evidence of dependence upon magnetic field magnitude or orientation. The flux-line lattice was found to be pinned fully at lowest temperatures.

Closing the pseudogap by Zeeman splitting in Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+y at high magnetic fields.
Interlayer tunneling resistivity is used to probe the low-energy density-of-states (DOS) depletion due to the pseudogap in the normal state of Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+y. Measurements up to 60 T reveal that a field that restores DOS to its ungapped state shows strikingly different temperature and doping dependencies from the characteristic fields of the superconducting state. The pseudogap closing field a...
متن کاملThree-dimensional calculations of the magnetic fields in a finite superconducting hollow cylinder in an applied axial magnetic field
In this study, a set of self-consistent coupled-integral equations for the local magnetic flux and current distributions in a finite superconducting hollow cylinder under an axial magnetic field has been directly derived by using the Biot-Savart law within the framework of the critical-state model. The equations were first solved numerically in the three-dimensional space before obtaining the h...

Slurries of powdered Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+x (BSCCO-2212) superconductor in high-boiling alkanes were irradiated with intense ultrasound. Significant enhancements of magnetic irreversibility as well as transport critical current are reported. The effects are dependent on the concentration of the slurry and are optimal for 1.5 wt % slurry loading. Electron microscopy shows that ultrasonic treatment lead...

Abstract: This paper aims at reporting magnetic properties of bulk polycrystalline Bi2Sr2Ca0.8Dy0.2Cu2O8-y samples textured under a magnetic field. The micro structure of these materials is highly anisotropic and exhibits particular features needed to be taken into account in order to interpret their magnetic and electrical properties.
