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 R 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 c < T < 0.1Θ 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.

The magnetic states of multi-junction superconducting quantum interference device containing 2N identical conventional Josephson junctions are studied by means of a perturbation analysis of the non-linear first-order ordinary differential equations governing the dynamics of the Josephson junctions in these devices. In the zero-voltage state, persistent currents are calculated in terms of the externally applied magnetic flux Φex . The resulting d.c. susceptibility curves show that paramagnetic and diamagnetic states are present, depending on the value of Φex . The stability of these states is qualitatively studied by means of the effective potential notion for the system.  相似文献

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

The physics of the π phase shift in ferromagnetic Josephson junctions may enable a range of applications for spin-electronic devices and quantum computing. We investigate transitions from “0” to “π” states in Nb/Fe/Nb Josephson junctions by varying the Fe barrier thickness from 0.5 nm to 5.5 nm. From magnetic measurements we estimate for Fe a magnetic dead layer of about 1.1 nm. By fitting the characteristic voltage oscillations with existing theoretical models we extrapolate an exchange energy of 256 meV, a Fermi velocity of 1.98 ×105 m/s and an electron mean free path of 6.2 nm, in agreement with other reported values. From the temperature dependence of the ICRN product we show that its decay rate exhibits a nonmonotonic oscillatory behavior with the Fe barrier thickness.  相似文献

We report on the microwave surface resistance of two polycrystalline Mg11 B2 samples; one consists of pristine material, the other has been irradiated at very high neutron fluence. It has already been reported that in the strongly irradiated sample the two gaps merge into a single value. The mw surface resistance has been measured in the linear regime as a function of the temperature and the DC magnetic field, at increasing and decreasing fields. The results obtained in the strongly irradiated sample are quite well justified in the framework of a generalized Coffey and Clem model, in which we take into account the field distribution inside the sample due to the critical state. The results obtained in the pristine sample show several anomalies, especially at low temperatures, which cannot be justified in the framework of standard models for the fluxon dynamics. Only at temperatures near Tc and for magnetic fields greater than 0.5Hc2(T) the experimental data can quantitatively be accounted for by the Coffey and Clem model, provided that the upper-critical-field anisotropy is taken into due account.  相似文献

Far-infrared reflectivity studies on the polycrystalline intermetallic compound MgB2 with a superconducting transition temperature T c = 39 K were performed at temperatures 20 K to 300 K. We observe a significant raise of the superconducting-to-normal state reflectivity ratio below 70 cm -1 , with a maximum at about 25-30 cm -1 , which gives a lower estimate of the superconducting gap of 2Δ(0) ≈ 3-4 meV.

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 report synthesis, structure/micro-structure, resistivity under magnetic field [ρ(T)H], Raman spectra, thermoelectric power S(T), thermal conductivity κ(T), and magnetization of ambient pressure argon annealed polycrystalline bulk samples of MgB2, processed under identical conditions. The compound crystallizes in hexagonal structure with space group P6/mmm. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) reveals electron micrographs showing various types of defect features along with the presence of 3–4 nm thick amorphous layers forming the grain boundaries of otherwise crystalline MgB2. Raman spectra of the compound at room temperature exhibited characteristic phonon peak at 600 cm-1. Superconductivity is observed at 37.2 K by magnetic susceptibility χ(T), resistivity ρ(T), thermoelectric power S(T), and thermal conductivity κ(T) measurements. The power law fitting of ρ(T) give rise to Debye temperature (ΘD) at 1400 K which is found consistent with the theoretical fitting of S(T), exhibiting Θ D of 1410 K and carrier density of 3.81 × 1028/m3. Thermal conductivity κ(T) shows a jump at 38 K, i.e., at Tc, which was missing in some earlier reports. Critical current density (Jc) of up to 105 A/cm2 in 1–2 T (Tesla) fields at temperatures (T) of up to 10 K is seen from magnetization measurements. The irreversibility field, defined as the field related to merging of M(H) loops is found to be 78, 68 and 42 kOe at 4, 10 and 20 K respectively. The superconducting performance parameters viz. irreversibility field (Hirr) and critical current density Jc(H) of the studied MgB2 are improved profoundly with addition of nano-SiC and nano-diamond. The physical property parameters measured for polycrystalline MgB2 are compared with earlier reports and a consolidated insight of various physical properties is presented.  相似文献

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.

The dynamical properties of symmetric quantum interferometers with equal junctions of negligible capacitance have been studied by means of perturbation analysis in the limit of small values of the parameter β. In this limit, two characteristic time constants arise. These quantities may be linked to two different dynamical processes in the system: the first is related to the time evolution of the average superconducting phase difference across the two junctions; the second defines the time scale for flux motion. The response of the system to constant and time-dependent externally applied magnetic fields is considered and a general perturbed solution for the average superconducting phase difference and the fluxon number variable is derived to first order in β.  相似文献

Band structure and Fermi surfaces of the A3B compounds V3Co, V3Rh, V3Ir and V3Os are calculated in FP-LAPW calculations. From V3Co to the V3Os compound one observes a decrease of the overlap for d-states from both V and B atoms; the center of gravity of the d-band for V moves upwards, while for the B-atom it moves toward lower energies. Hence, despite the band widening, a weakening of interactions takes place throughout this series, which leads to a lattice expansion as experimentally observed. The bonding mechanism in these compounds is found to be dominated by the lower energy d-states. Comparatively, the DOS at EF does not change appreciably between these compounds, except for V3Os, where a sharp peak is observed at EF. This feature leads to the highest electronic heat-capacity coefficient γ (2.31 ) in this compound, which otherwise possesses the smallest Bulk modulus (209.05 GPa). In V3Os, for whom no report has been found, a stronger admixture between p-states from both metals near EF is observed, and the Os d-states form a common d-band with the V d-states between 0.4–0.6 Ry. A stronger s–s hybridization is observed for V3Co, which is in the source of the fact that this compound has an anomalously large quadrupole interaction and exhibits a positive Knight shift.  相似文献

We propose a new approach of smearing origins of a zero-bias conductance peak (ZBCP) in high-Tc superconductor tunnel junctions through the analysis based on the circuit theory for a d-wave pairing symmetry. The circuit theory has been recently developed from conventional superconductors to unconventional superconductors. The ZBCP frequently appears in line shapes for this theory, in which the total resistance was constructed by taking account of the effects between a d-wave superconductor and a diffusive normal metal (DN) at a junction interface, including the midgap Andreev resonant states (MARS), the coherent Andreev reflection (CAR) and the proximity effect. Therefore, we have analyzed experimental spectra with the ZBCP of Ag-SiO-Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ (Bi-2212) planar tunnel junctions for the {110}-oriented direction by using a simplified formula of the circuit theory for d-wave superconductors. The fitting results reveal that the spectral features of the ZBCP are well explained by the circuit theory not only excluding the Dynes's broadening factor but also considering only the MARS and the DN resistance. Thus, the ZBCP behaviors are understood to be consistent with those of recent studies on the circuit theory extended to the systems containing d-wave superconductor tunnel junctions.  相似文献

We consider a model for a single molecule with a large frozen spin sandwiched in between two BCS superconductors at equilibrium, and show that this system has a π junction behavior at low temperature. The π shift can be reversed by varying the other parameters of the system, e.g., temperature or the position of the quantum dot level, implying a controllable π junction with novel application as a Josephson current switch. We show that the mechanism leading to the π shift can be explained simply in terms of the contributions of the Andreev bound states and of the continuum of states above the superconducting gap. The free energy for certain configuration of parameters shows a bistable nature, which is a necessary pre-condition for achievement of a qubit.  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

We theoretically calculate the Josephson current for two superconductor/ferromagnetic semiconductor (SC/FS) bilayers separated by a semiconductor (SM) layer. It is found that the critical Josephson current IC in the junction is strongly determined by not only the relative orientations of the effective exchange field of the two bilayers and scattering potential strengths at the interfaces but also the kinds of holes (the heavy or light) in the two FS layers. Furthermore, a robust approach to measuring the spin polarization P for the heavy and light holes is presented.  相似文献

Measurements of the electrical resistivity as a function of temperature, ρ(T), for different values of applied magnetic field, Ba (0 ≤ Ba ≤ 50 mT), were performed in polycrystalline samples of Bi1.65Pb0.35Sr2Ca2 Cu3O10+δ subjected to different uniaxial compacting pressure (UCP). We have found appreciable differences in the grain orientation between samples by using X-ray diffractometry. From the X-ray diffraction patterns performed, in powder and pellet samples, we have estimated the Lotgering factor along the (00l) direction, F(00l). The results indicate that F(00l) increases ~23% with increasing UCP suggesting that grains of these samples are preferentially aligned along the c-axis, which is parallel to the compacting direction. The resistive transition of the samples have been interpreted in terms of the thermally activated flux-creep model. In addition, the effective intergranular pinning energy, U0, have been determined for different applied magnetic field. The magnetic field dependence of U0, for Ba > 8 mT, was found to follow a H- α dependence with α = 0.5 for all samples. The analysis of the experimental data strongly suggested that increasing UCP results in appreciable changes in both the grain alignment and the grain connectivity of the samples. We have successfully interpreted the data by considering the existence of three different superconducting levels within the samples: the superconducting grains, the weak-links, and the superconducting clusters.  相似文献

Low frequency transport measurements are performed on GdSr2RuCu2O8 pellets. The observed current-voltage curves are qualitatively explained in the framework of a simple phenomenological model accounting for coexistence in the sample of ferromagnetism and superconductivity. A Curie temperature T cM = 133 K and a superconducting critical temperature T cS = 18 K, with an onset temperature T cO = 33 K, are extracted from the analysis of the current-voltage curves.

We study chaos synchronization in two resistive-capacitive-inductive-shunted (RCL-shunted) Josephson junctions (RCLSJJs) by using a common chaos driving. The numerical simulations confirm that the synchronization of two RCLSJJs can be achieved with a suitable driving intensity when the maximum condition Lyapunov exponent (MCLE) is negative.  相似文献

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. Received 31 May 2001 and Received in final form 5 December 2001  相似文献

We show that there is a link between the Kuramoto paradigm and another system of synchronized oscillators, namely an electrical power distribution grid of generators and consumers. The purpose of this work is to show both the formal analogy and some practical consequences. The mapping can be made quantitative, and under some necessary approximations a class of Kuramoto-like models, those with bimodal distribution of the frequencies, is most appropriate for the power-grid. In fact in the power-grid there are two kinds of oscillators: the “sources" delivering power to the “consumers".  相似文献
