THERMOELECTRIC POWER OF A LOCAL PAIR MODEL AND ITS APPLICABILITY TO YBa2Cu3O7

A formula of thermoelectric power (TEP) for the local pair model has been derived. It has been found that from T_c to about 125K the TEP data of YBa₂Cu₃O₇ (Y-123) can be described by this formula. We have also found that the formula of the diffusion thermoelec-tricity in the free electron approximation can be used to express the TEP data of Y-123 in the region of 220 to about 300 K. It seems that a general transition occurs in the intermediate temperature region, that is from the regime in which the local pair subsystem is dominating to the regime in which the itinerant carrier subsystem is dominating.

Infrared optical response of YBa2Cu3O7 and PrBa2Cu3O7 An ellipsometric study

Ellipsometry was used to study (110) and (001) oriented films of YBa₂Cu₃O₇ and PrBa₂Cu₃O₇ in the mid-and near-infrared spectral regions. Below a photon energy of 0.1 eV, the in-plane component of the dielectric tensor of YBa₂Cu₃O₇ is dominated by a Drude term with a squared plasma energy of (3.0 ± 0.3) eV². This “oscillator strength”, and the Lorentzian broadening energy of (0.104 ± 0.005) eV at room temperature, are confirmed by the changes induced in Pr-substituted material, and by low-temperature measurements in the near-infrared. The deviation from the Drude behavior observed above 0.1 eV is accounted for by a broad absorption band with an oscillator strength of (3.6 ± 0.1) eV² in YBa₂Cu₃O₇ which shifts to higher energies and takes over almost all of the oscillator strength of the Drude term when Y is substituted by Pr. The response to electric fields perpendicular to the planes is much weaker, with an upper bound of 0.63 eV² for the squared plasma energy. The in-plane loss function computed from the measured dielectric function follows the Drude-like lineshape, modified by the bound-state absorption band, down to the lowest energy reached in our measurements (0.058 eV).

Coherence transition in granular YBa2Cu3O7-δ, YBa2Cu2.95Zn0.05O7-δ, and YBa1.75Sr0.25Cu3O7-δ superconductors

We have studied experimentally the electrical magneto-conductivity near the superconducting transition of YBa₂Cu₃O_7-δ, YBa₂ (Cu_2.95Zn_0.05)O_7-δ and Y(Ba_1.75Sr_0.25)Cu₃O_7-δ polycrystalline samples. The measurements were performed in magnetic fields ranging from 0 to 400 Oe applied parallel to the current orientation. The results show that the resistive transition of these systems proceeds in two stages. The pairing transition occurs at the bulk critical temperature T_c, where superconductivity is stabilized within small and homogeneous regions of the sample generically called grains. The regime of approach to the zero resistance state reveals the occurrence of a coherence transition at a lower temperature T_c0. This transition is related to the connective nature of the granular samples and is controlled by fluctuations of the order-parameter phase of individual grains. Our experiments show that the Zn-doping, besides depressing the pairing critical temperature, strongly enlarges the temperature range dominated by effects related to the coherence transition. The substitution of Ba by Sr causes only a small reduction of T_c, but also enhances significantly the effects related to the grain coupling phenomenology. In general, our results indicate that these impurity substitutions in YBa₂Cu₃O_7-δ produce or magnify the granularity at a microscopic level, enhancing the effects of phase fluctuations in the conductivity near the transition.     

SUPERCONDUCTING PROPERTIES AND STRUCTURAL PERFECTION OF EPITAXIAL YBa2Cu3O7-x THIN FILMS

High quality epitaxial YBa₂Cu₃O_7-x thin films have been succcessfully prepared by dc magnetron sputtering deposition, on (100) and (110) aligned SrTiO₃, LaAlO₃ and yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) substrates. The films showed zero resistance around 90 K and had a J_c (at 77 K, H=0) over 10⁶A/cm². It was found that superconducting properties and structures of the films were strongly dependent on oxygen pressure and substrate temperature. The epitaxial structure of the films have been studied by X-ray diffraction. Rutherford backscattering and channeling spectroscopy, X-ray double-crystal diffraction and transmission election microscopy. The experimental results demonstrated that the epitaxial YBa₂Cu₃O_7-x films had excellent superconducting properties and quite perfect structure.     

SUPERCONDUCTING PROPERTIES AND STRUCTURAL PERFECTION OF EPITAXIAL YBa2Cu3O7-x THIN FILMS

The photoconductivity spectra of semimagnetic semiconductor Cd_0.7Mn_0.3Se have been measured at 50-300 K and in the wavelength range of 5500? to 8000?. It is found that the energy gap of Cd_0.7Mn_0.3Se changes with the temperature linearly, and the temperature coefficient (dE_g/dT) is about -7×10^-4 eV/K. A photoconductivity peak which is related to Mn²⁺ is also found. This peak is located around 1.85 eV, nearly unshifted with variation of the temperature. The possible transition mechanisms in Cd_1-xMn_xSe have been discussed in the light of group theory and crystal field theory, and the results are in good agreement with experiments.     

DETERMINATION OF THE OXYGEN CONTENT IN YBa2Cu3O7-y FILMS

A method for determination of the oxygen content (y) in YBa₂Cu₃O_7-y films has been established, in which the lattice conetant difference (b-a) of the films was measured and used to fit the function of (b-a) vs y for the experimental data of bulk YBaaCuaO?-y given in the literature. It is suggested that the function of (b-a) vs y can indeed be used in the case of film. In this process the twin structure of the YBa₂Cu₃O_7-y films was used.

Oxygen defects relaxation in high-temperature YBa2Cu3O7 superconductors

The temperature dependences of normal state static magnet susceptibility χ(T) for high-temperature YBa₂Cu₃O₇ superconductors (T _c ≤ T ≤ 400 K) measured for the same sample before and after 22 years of storage are compared. It is shown that during longime storage of a maximally doped sample, its electronic system is more in equilibrium than it was in the initial state, while a similar underdoped sample decomposed completely. Comparing the χ(T) curves for YBa₂Cu₃O₇, we draw conclusions as to the nature of the Curie contribution and the fluctuation-induced contribution to the magnetic susceptibility of the investigated sample, and the experimental procedure for determining T _c.     

Vortex pinning in YBa2Cu3O7?x films

Evidence that pinning on linear or planar defects dominates the vortex dynamics in YBa₂Cu₃O_7−x (YBCO) films is provided by complex impedance measurements at temperature 8 K<T<T _c and magnetic field 0<B<6 T. Below the vortex lattice melting transition B_g(T) but above a threshold field B_p≈8(1-T/T _c ) T, the inductance of vortices increases as B², much less rapidly than predicted for collective pinning of vortices by point defects. Above the vortex melting line, critical scaling persists over the region B_g(T<B<B^*(T) where the vortex correlation length ξ exceeds a characteristic length scale ξ^*≡ξ(B=B^*)≈450?. The value of ξ^* is not sensitive to Al-doping in the Cu sites in the lattice and is close to the size of twin domains in the film. The nature of the observed crossovers is discussed in terms of available theoretical models for a glass-liquid transition at B_g.

GROWTH MODE OF Cu-RICH PARTICLES ON LASER-ABLATED YBa2Cu3O7 THIN FILMS

The microstructure of the laser-ablated YBa₂Cu₃O₇ (YBCO) thin film deposited on heated (100) SrTiO₃ substrate was examined by transmission electron microscope. The par-ticles on the film mainly consist of CuO and few CuYO₂. Most of these non-superconducting particles nucleate on or near the surface of the film and protrude about 100-400 nm in height, A large amount of a-axis YBCO grains also exist in the film, which nucleate at the substrate surface and grow perpendicularly above the c-axis YBCO film. The YBCO thin film deposited under low oxygen pressure has very different microstructure compared with YBCO thin film deposited under high oxygen pressure.     

Pinning potential of stacking fault-related dislocations in YBa2Cu3O7

The pinning potential of the 031 type dislocation has been calculated. This dislocation bounds the excess Cu---O layer defect commonly observed in YBa₂Cu₃O₇. It was found that there is a strong pinning anisotropy between edge dislocations lying along [100] and [010]. For the former, a repulsive potential of about 30 meV is found, while the latter exhibits an attractive interaction of less than this magnitude. This potential is short-range (about 2ξ), indicating that these dislocations would act as distributed point-like pinning sites.
