Zeeman effects on d-wave superconductor and tunneling spectrum in normal-metal/d-wave superconductor tunnel junction

We study the Zeeman effect on the d-wave superconductor and tunneling spectrum in normal-metal(N)/d-wave superconductor(S) junction by applying a Zeeman magnetic field to the S. It is shown that: (1) the Zeeman magnetic field can lead to the S gap decreasing, and with the increase in Zeeman energy, the superconducting state is changed to the normal state, exhibiting a first-order phase transition; (2) the Zeeman magnetic field may make the zero-bias conductance peak split into two peaks, and the energy difference between the two splitting peaks in the conductance spectrum is equal to 2h ₀ (h ₀ is the Zeeman energy); (3) both the barrier strength of interface scattering and the temperature can lower the magnitudes of splitting peaks, of which the barrier strength can lead to the splitting peaks becoming sharp and the temperature can smear out the peaks, however, neither of them can influence the Zeeman effect.

Performance of YBaCuO thick film rf SQUIDs at 77 K

RF SQUID behaviour has been observed at 77 K in YBaCuO thick films prepared by screen printing technique. A hole shunted with a microbridge type of geometry is patterned manually for observing rf SQUID behaviour. Flux noise spectrum is also studied and it is found to depend on the quality of the film. The spectral density of the flux noise in the white noise region is 1.7×10⁻³ Φ₀/√Hz at 77 K.     

Effect of the surface roughness on Bean-Livingston surface barrier

Bean-Livingston barrier for a single Abrikosov vortex interacting with the rough surface is calculated as a function of the random characteristics of the surface roughness. It has been shown that even a respectively smooth surface roughness results in an essential decrease of the Bean-Livingston surface barrier.     

以高温超导体为基础的颗粒复合磁电阻器件

外加磁场对超导电性有强烈抑制作用，等效于一个显的正磁电阻．将高温超导体与具有不同磁电阻特性的其它材料复合，构成纳米颗粒复合体，可改变其磁场响应，调节成分配比还可使总磁电阻在特定的温度和外磁场下改变符号，即可调谐磁电阻．根据这一原理，我们制备了以La1.85Sr0.15CuO4和YBa2Cu3O7-δ为基础的颗粒复合磁电阻器件，并在其中观测到了以可调谐磁电阻为代表的丰富的磁电现象．这些器件在磁探测、磁记录和磁场标定等方面具有重要应用价值．

Magnetic field and currents in HTSC films

Magnetic field measurements above type-II superconductor films in a remanent magnetization state have been used to determine two dimensional surface current distributions. Using the Biot-Savart law for the surface current density, integral equations (of 2-D convolution type) for two components of current have been obtained. These equations have been solved by employing Tikhonov's method of generalized discrepancy, and the surface current pattern in superconductors as well as the magnetic field distribution on the film surface have been obtained. Current peculiarities related to various kinds of inhomogeneities, specific character of the film form, and a laser pulse effect have been observed. In particular, it was discovered that a laser pulse can signficantly redistribute the film currents without changing the total number of current vortices in the film.

Four contact electrical measurements on the anisotropic high-Tc superconductors: voltage reversals

We describe three mechanisms for the anomalous voltage reversals which are occasionally observed during four contact current-voltage measurements on the high temperature superconductors. Voltage reversals have been frequently observed for whiskers of the bismuth strontium calcium copper oxide (BSSCO) compounds, and we describe measurements made on high quality whiskers of the 2:2:1:2 and 2:2:2:3 phases. A simple model based on extreme anisotropy plus offset contacts can explain the gross features of four contact measurements in the ohmic flux-flow regime, but not the wealth of reversal phenomena found for the IVVI configuration in the lower temperature irreversibility region.
