Static and dynamical magnetic characters in doped Cu oxides

The discovery of the spin density wave (SDW) state defined as stripe in the doped Cu oxides becomes a central issue in the elucidation of the high-temperature superconducting mechanism. We present the coexistence of the stripe order and superconductivity, and the change of the stripe structure associated with the insultor–metal transition. Both static and dynamical SDW are robust of the high-temperature superconducting Cu oxides.

Topological Superconductivity in Cu(x)Bi(2)Se(3)

A topological superconductor (TSC) is characterized by the topologically protected gapless surface state that is essentially an Andreev bound state consisting of Majorana fermions. While a TSC has not yet been discovered, the doped topological insulator Cu(x)Bi(2)Se(3), which superconducts below ～3 K, has been predicted to possess a topological superconducting state. We report that the point-contact spectra on the cleaved surface of superconducting Cu(x)Bi(2)Se(3) present a zero-bias conductance peak (ZBCP) which signifies unconventional superconductivity. Theoretical considerations of all possible superconducting states help us conclude that this ZBCP is due to Majorana fermions and gives evidence for a topological superconductivity in Cu(x)Bi(2)Se(3). In addition, we found an unusual pseudogap that develops below ～20 K and coexists with the topological superconducting state.     

Studies of the microstructure of a superconducting Nb<Subscript>3</Subscript>Sn-Band obtained from (Cu/Nb)/Cu12Sn nanocomposite

A multilayer layer from the superconducting compound Nb₃Sn was obtained by the thermal treatment of composite (Cu/Nb)/Cu12Sn conductor consisting of Cu-12% Sn and Cu/Nb interlayers consisting in turn of nanosized copper and niobium layers. The conductor was coated with copper from the outside, which served as a stabilizer. The microstructure of the cross section of the composite band in dependence on the volume ratio of Cu/Nb and bronze interlayers and the microstructure of the Cu/Nb interlayers themselves in dependence on the annealing temperature were investigated. The optimum ratio of composite components was as follows: t _Nb N _Nb ≈ 0.288t _CuSn N _CuSn, where t and N are the thickness and number of the niobium and bronze layers, respectively. Trying to maintain the optimum design of the conductor forced us to increase the bronze volume content relative to the content of Cu/Nb interlayers, which had a negative impact on the composite microstructure. This resulted in disruptions of Cu/Nb interlayers. A technique has been developed for producing the (Cu/Nb)/Cu12Sn composite as a precursor to the band from the Nb₃Sn compound with allowance for the first experiment’s shortcomings.     

Evidence of local structural transition during oxidation process of RBCO epitaxial films using time resolved reflexafs measurements

We report results of a time resolved X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (XAS) experiment on the oxidation process of epitaxial Y₁(Nd_0.05Ba_1.95)Cu₃O_x superconducting thin films. For the first time Cu K-edge XAS technique has been used to explore local structural changes around the Cu ions during the oxidation process of a high critical temperature superconducting film. The results show that during the oxygenation of a tetragonal Y₁(Nd_0.05Ba_1.95)Cu₃O_x additional local transitions appear in the orthorhombic I phase, which are not linked to long range order transformations as shown by in situ X-ray diffraction experiment. New questions concerning the dynamic microscopic process leading to the oxygenation and eventually to superconductivity of the complex R_1+xBa_2-xCu₃O_x (R = Y or rare earth) compounds arose from these results.

Experimental investigation of the role of the triplet pairing in the superconducting spin-valve effect

An important role of the morphology of a superconducting layer in the superconducting spin-valve effect has been established. The triplet pairing induced by the superconductor/ferromagnet proximity effect has been experimentally investigated for samples CoO_x/Py1/Cu/Py2/Cu/Pb (where Py = Ni_0.81Fe_0.19) with a smooth superconducting layer. The optimization of the parameters of this structure has demonstrated a complete switching between the normal and superconducting states with a change in the relative orientation of magnetizations of the ferromagnetic layers from the antiparallel to orthogonal orientation. A pure triplet contribution has been observed for the sample with a permalloy layer thickness at which the superconducting spin-valve effect vanishes. A direct comparison of the experimental data with the theoretical calculation of the temperature of the transition to the superconducting state has been performed for the first time.     

Fast joining of melt textured Y–Ba–Cu–O bulks with high quality

Y–Ba–Cu–O bulk superconductors were fast joined using Ag-doped Y–Ba–Cu–O solder (metallic Ag powder additive). The joining process was relatively shorter (around 24 h) comparing with the traditional joining method. The microstructures and the superconducting properties of the joints were evaluated carefully. Microstructure analysis revealed that the crystal pattern in the joint was almost the same as that of the base material. This indicated that the bonding zone grew along the growth direction of the base material. The trapped-field distribution of the joined bulk was almost uniform and only single peak was found. This demonstrated that strong bonding was achieved in the joining process. The ratio of joined bulk’s levitation force to that of original base material was up to 93.5%.
