Recent experimental data of anisotropic magnetoresistivity measured in
MgB2 films have shown an intriguing behaviour: the angular dependence
of magnetoresistivity changes dramatically with temperature and disorder. In
order to explain such phenomenology, in this work, we extend our previous
analyses on multiband transverse magnetoresistivity in magnesium diboride,
by calculating its analytic expression, assuming a constant anisotropic
Fermi surface mass tensor. The calculation is done for arbitrary
orientation of the magnetic field with respect to the crystalline axes and
for the current density either perpendicular or parallel to the magnetic
field. This approach allows to extract quite univocally the values of the
scattering times in the σ- and π-bands by fitting experimental data with a
simple analytic expression.
We also extend the analysis to the magnetoresistivity of polycrystalline
samples, with an arbitrary angle between the current density and the
magnetic field, taking into account the anisotropy of each randomly oriented
grain.
Thereby, we propose magnetoresistivity as a very powerful characterization
tool to explore the effect of disorder by irradiation or selective doping as
well as of phonon scattering in each one of the two types of bands, in
single crystals and polycrystalline samples, which is a crucial issue in the
study of magnesium diboride. 相似文献

We report measurements of the resistivity, ρ, and the Seebeck coefficient, S
, of a MgB2 sintered sample, and compare S with theoretical calculations based on precise electronic structure calculations. ρ is fitted well by a generalized Bloch-Grüneisen equation with a Debye temperature Θ

of 1050 K. S is given by the sum of a diffusive and a phonon drag term and the behavior in the temperature region T

R
follows the relationship AT+BT3. The phonon drag term indicates a strong electron-phonon interaction. The diffusive term, compared with calculations, suggests
that σ bands give the main contribution to the Seebeck effect.

We present a model of pressure effects of a two-band superconductor based on a Ginzburg-Landau free energy with two order
parameters. The parameters of the theory are pressure as well as temperature dependent. New pressure effects emerge as a result
of the competition between the two bands. The theory then is applied to MgB2. We identify two possible scenaria regarding the fate of the two σ subbands under pressure, depending on whether or not both subbands are above the Fermi energy at ambient pressure. The splitting
of the two subbands is probably caused by the E2g distortion. If only one subband is above the Fermi energy at ambient pressure (scenario I), application of pressure diminishes
the splitting and it is possible that the lower subband participates in the superconductivity. The corresponding crossover
pressure and Gr neisen parameter are estimated. In the second scenario both bands start above the Fermi energy and they move below it, either
by pressure or via the substitution of Mg by Al. In both scenaria, the possibility of electronical topological transition is emphasized. Experimental
signatures of both scenaria are presented and existing experiments are discussed in the light of the different physical pictures.

We discuss the microwave second-harmonic generation in
high-density bulk MgB2, prepared by the reactive liquid Mg
infiltration technology. The intensity of the harmonic signal has
been investigated as a function of temperature and amplitudes of
the DC and microwave magnetic fields. The results are discussed in
the framework of a phenomenological theory, based on the two-fluid
model, which assumes that both the microwave and static magnetic
fields, penetrating in the surface layers of the sample, weakly
perturb the partial concentrations of the normal and
superconducting fluids. We show that, in order to account for the
experimental results, it is essential to suppose that in MgB2
the densities of the normal and condensed fluids linearly depend
on the temperature. 相似文献

We have studied temperature evolution of the local as well as the
average crystal structure of MgB2 using real-space atomic pair
distribution function (PDF) measured by high resolution neutron powder
diffraction in a wide temperature range of T=10–600 K. We find small
positive correlation factors for the B–B and B–Mg pairs, determined by
mean-square displacements (MSD) and the mean-square relative
displacements (MSRD). We analyze the PDF using both Einstein and
force constant models finding a good agreement between the
experimental data and the two models. This indicates that B and Mg
atomic correlations are not sensitive to the details of phonon
dispersion. 相似文献

Using Scanning Tunneling Microscope at low temperature
we explore the superconducting phase diagram in the π-band of
the two-band superconductor MgB2. In this band the peculiar
shape of the local tunneling spectra and their dynamics in the
magnetic field reveal the complex character of the quasiparticle
density of states (DOS). The gap in the DOS is first rapidly
filled with states in raising the magnetic field up to 0.5 T and
then slowly approaches the normal state value: the gap is
observed up to 2 T. Such a change in the DOS dynamics suggests the
existence of two terms in the DOS of the π-band: a first one,
reflecting an intrinsic superconductivity in the band and a second
one, originating from an inter-band coupling to the σ-band.
Our findings allow a deeper understanding of the unique phase
diagram of MgB2. 相似文献

We provide here experimental data on the phonon density-of-states of MgB2 obtained by the inelastic neutron scattering technique. The measurements were performed for the natural boron-based magnesium
diboride with use of a time-of-flight neutron spectrometer. Several phonon bands were observed in the phonon spectrum at energies
of about 33, 55, 82 and 99 meV. We show that the cut-off energy of the density-of-states occurs at around 105 meV which is
much higher than expected so far from heat-capacity data and partially explains the high T
c
value observed for MgB2. The characteristic phonon energies are indicative of an intermediate coupling regime in this compound. We conclude that
a much needed neutron experiment aimed at the study of the isotopic effect in the phonon density-of-states of MgB2 is conceivable.

, in an attempt to address the physics of two-dimensional correlated systems. The title compounds were studied over several
decades in frequency, from the far-infrared to the ultraviolet. Measurements with linearly polarized light have allowed us
to obtain both the in-plane and out-of-plane components of the conductivity tensor. Although the electromagnetic response
of dichalcogenides is strongly anisotropic, both the in-plane and out-of-plane components of the conductivity tensor share
many common features, including the presence of a well-defined metallic component, as well as a “mid-infrared band”. We discuss
the implications of these results in the context of the spectroscopic results of other classes of low-dimensional conductors
such as the high-temperature superconducting cuprates. In particular, the analysis of the redistribution of the spectral weight
as a function of temperature, as well as the behavior of the quasiparticles relaxation rate, points to significant distinctions
between the charge dynamics of dichalcogenides and other classes of low dimensional conductors.

The anisotropy of MgB2 is still under debate: its value, strongly dependent on the kind of sample and on the measuring method, ranges between 1.2
and 13. In this work we present our results on MgB2 c-oriented superconducting thin film. To evaluate the anisotropy, we followed two different approaches. Firstly, magnetoresistivity
was measured as a function of temperature at selected magnetic fields applied both parallel and perpendicular to the c-axis; secondly, we measured magnetoresistivity at selected temperatures and magnetic fields, varying the angle θ between the magnetic field and the c-axis. The anisotropy estimated from the ratio between the upper critical fields parallel and perpendicular to the c-axis and the one obtained in the framework of the scaling approach within the anisotropic Ginzburg-Landau theory are different
but show a similar trend in the temperature dependence. Some differences in the upper critical field and in its anisotropy
of our film with respect to single crystals are emphasized: some of these aspects can be accounted for by an analysis of upper
critical fields within a two-band model in presence of disorder and/or crystallographic strain.

A sum rule for the first frequency moment of the optical absorption of a many-polaron system is derived, taking into account
many-body effects in the system of constituent charge carriers of the many-polaron system. In our expression for the sum rule,
the electron-phonon coupling and the many-body effects in the electron (or hole) system formally decouple, so that the many-body
effects can be treated to the desired level of approximation by the choice of the dynamical structure factor of the electron
(hole) gas. We calculate correction factors to take into account both low and high experimental cutoff frequencies.

The generation of harmonics of the voltage response is considered when an AC current is applied through a superconducting
film above Tc. It is shown that almost at all temperatures the mechanism of the temperature oscillations created by the AC current and
the temperature dependence of the resistance dominates over the isothermal nonlinear electric conductivity. Only in a narrow
critical region close to Tc the latter is essential for the generation of the harmonics. A detailed investigation of harmonics generation provides an
accurate method for measuring the thermal boundary conductance between the film and the insulating substrate. The critical
behaviour of the third harmonic will give a new method for the determination of the lifetime of metastable Cooper pairs above
Tc. The comparison of the calculated fifth harmonics of the voltage with the experiment is proposed as an important test for
the applicability of the employed theoretical models.

Infrared reflectance, and transmission measurements as well as Raman scattering have been used to study the RE1+xBa2-xCu3O6 (RE = Nd, Sm) and YBa2Cu3O6 absorption bands in the 1100-1500 cm-1 infrared range as a function of temperature and beam polarization. In addition to two-phonon absorption between 1100 and
1170 cm-1, we observe excitations around 1400 cm-1, occurring in oxygen rich enclosures within the samples, and assign them to an excitation involving two-phonons plus the
270 cm-1 local mode related to Cu-O broken chains. Thus, the previously reported possible magnetic origin of the 1436 cm-1 sharp absorption band in YBa2Cu3O6 is contested.

Superconductors put into rotation develope a spontaneous internal magnetic field (the “London field”). In this paper Ginzburg
Landau equations for order parameter, field, and current distributions for superconductors in rotation are derived. Two simple
examples are discussed: the massive cylinder and the “Little and Parks geometry”: a thin film of superconducting material
deposited on a cylinder of normal material. A dependence of T
c on rotational frequency is predicted. The magnitude of the effect is estimated and should be observable.

We present results from an extended magneto-optical (MO) analysis of two samples cut from high-density pellets of MgB2. The first sample was studied in order to show that no matter how large the sample is and despite the bulk granularity, the
material enters into a critical state in a crystal-like fashion. The second sample was chosen for the quantitative analysis.
A numerical approach based on an inverted 2D Biot-Savart model was used to calculate the current paths across the homogeneous
polycrystalline bulk, as well as in the vicinity and across some morphological defects. Local current densities in the homogeneous
part were estimated as a function of the applied magnetic field at different temperatures, in three regimes: below full penetration,
at full penetration and above full penetration, respectively. A hypothesis of interpretation of the apparent absence of magnetic
granularity inside the polycrystalline microstructure is presented. It is related to a critical state likely reached by a
network of strongly coupled Josephson junctions.

Measurements of the thermal conductivity (kxx) and the thermal Hall effect (kxy) in high magnetic fields in Y- and Bi-based high-T
c
superconductors are presented. We describe the experimental technique and test measurements on a simple metal (niobium).
In the high-T
c
superconductors kxx and kxy increase below T
c
and show a maximum in their temperature dependence. kxx has contributions from phonons and quasiparticle (QP) excitations, whereas kxy is purely electronic. The strong increase of kxy below T
c
gives direct evidence for a strong enhancement of the QP contribution to the heat current and thus for a strong increase
of the QP mean free path. Using kxy and the magnetic field dependence of kxx we separate the electronic thermal conductivity ( k
xx
el
) of the CuO
2
-planes from the phononic thermal conductivity ( k
xx
ph
). In YBa2Cu3O
7 - δ
k
xx
el
shows a pronounced maximum in the superconducting state. This maximum is much weaker in Bi2Sr2CaCu2O
8 + δ
, due to stronger impurity scattering. The maximum of k
xx
el
is strongly suppressed by a magnetic field, which we attribute to the scattering of QPs on vortices. An additional magnetic
field independent contribution to the maximum of kxx occurs in YBa2Cu3O
7 - δ
, reminiscent of the contribution of the CuO-chains, as determined from the anisotropy in untwined single crystals. Our data analysis reveals that below T
c
as in the normal state a transport (τ) and a Hall (
) relaxation time must be distinguished: The inelastic (i.e. temperature dependent) contribution to τ is strongly enhanced in the superconducting state, whereas
displays the same temperature dependence as above T
c
. We determine also the electronic thermal conductivity in the normal state from kxy and the electrical Hall angle. It shows an unusual linear increase with temperature.

An approach to the Ginzburg-Landau problem of superconducting polygons is developed, based on the exact fulfillment of superconducting
boundary conditions along the boundary of the sample. To this end an analytical gauge transformation for the vector potential
A is found which gives A
n = 0 for the normal component along the boundary line of an arbitrary regular polygon. The use of the new gauge reduces the
Ginzburg-Landau problem of superconducting polygons in external magnetic fields to an eigenvalue problem in a basis set of
functions obeying Neumann boundary conditions. The advantages of this approach, especially for low magnetic fields, are illustrated
and novel vortex patterns are obtained which can be probed experimentally.

We report results obtained with two different experimental set-ups in state-of-the-art YBCO thin films as similar as possible,
prepared by pulsed laser deposition on LaAlO3 substrates: a surface impedance measurement on 4000 ? thick films using a parallel plate resonator (10 GHz), and a far infrared
transmission (100-400 GHz) measurement which requires thinner (1000 ?) samples. The former measurement yields the temperature
variation of the penetration depth λ(T) and the real part of the conductivity, provided the absolute value of λ(T) is known. The latter yields the imaginary part of the conductivity, hence the absolute value of the penetration depth, as
well as its temperature dependence at the measuring frequency. Combining these two experiments, we establish a quasi-linear
temperature variation of λ(T), with a 2 ? K-1 low temperature slope, and a fairly large zero temperature value λ(T = 0)=(1800±200) ? . The scattering rate of the quasi-particles calculated from a two-fluids model shows that the films compare
to good quality single crystals, where twice a larger slope has been found. This surprising behavior is described in detail,
including an in-depth structural analysis of the samples in order to evaluate their similarities. We find that the 10 GHz
data obtained in the thickest films can be fitted to the dirty d-wave mode in the unitarity limit, with an extrapolated slope of 3 ? K-1, but yield a scattering rate that is difficult to reconcile with the high T
c (92 K) of the films.

We propose a Ginzburg-Landau phenomenological model for the dependence of the critical temperature on microscopic strain in
tetragonal high-T
c
cuprates. Such a model is in agreement with the experimental results for LSCO under epitaxial strain, as well as with the
hydrostatic pressure dependence of T
c
in most cuprates. In particular, a nonmonotonic dependence of T
c
on hydrostatic pressure, as well as on in-plane or apical microstrain, is derived. From a microscopic point of view, such
results can be understood as due to the proximity to an electronic topological transition (ETT). In the case of LSCO, we argue
that such an ETT can be driven by a strain-induced modification of the band structure, at constant hole content, at variance
with a doping-induced ETT, as is usually assumed.
