In this review article we consider theoretically and give experimental support to the models of the Fermi-Bose mixtures and the BCS-BEC (Bardeen Cooper Schrieffer–Bose Einstein) crossover compared with the strong-coupling approach, which can serve as the cornerstones on the way from high-temperature to room-temperature superconductivity in pressurized metallic hydrides. We discuss some key theoretical ideas and mechanisms proposed for unconventional superconductors (cuprates, pnictides, chalcogenides, bismuthates, diborides, heavy-fermions, organics, bilayer graphene, twisted graphene, oxide hetero-structures), superfluids and balanced or imbalanced ultracold Fermi gases in magnetic traps. We build a bridge between unconventional superconductors and recently discovered pressurized hydrides superconductors H3S and LaH10 with the critical temperature close to room temperature. We discuss systems with a line of nodal Dirac points close to the Fermi surface and superconducting shape resonances, and hyperbolic superconducting networks which are very important for the development of novel topological superconductors, for the energetics, for the applications in nano-electronics and quantum computations.

Superconducting properties of various chemically-doped high-T c materials are investigated. By using the results obtained with Cu- and Bi-deficient Y-Ba-Cu-O and Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-O systems as basis, variations of the transition temperature T c , critical current density J c , room temperature resistivity ρ, and oxygen content are compared for different dopant contents. In several cases, J c and ρ are found to be correlated as both quantities show an exponential dependence on the dopant concentration. Most dopants result in a monotonic decrease of T c and J c , except for Ag, F, and Cl. Substitution of Ag and Pb for Cu and Bi in Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-O indicates a condition for compatibility between the impurity atom and the local structure in the host matrix. Results suggest that the predominant mechanism for high-T c superconductivity is most likely associated with short-range-order structure in the material.

The atmospheric degradation of high T c superconductors YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7−δ can be prevented using fluorine gas processings around room temperature. A thin layer of amorphous fluorides (and/or oxyfluorides) is formed at the surface of the particles, which passivates the material against hydrolysis and gas-exchange processes. A fluorination mechanism has been proposed, which can account for both fluorine analysis and weight uptake. The superconductivity onset does not seem to be affected by fluorination. Furthermore, an improvement of the shielding effect-Meissner effect cycle to 91% reversibility is achieved when F 2-treated oxides are heated at 350°C under vacuum.

Form the ESR measurements of Cu 2+ in Y 2 BaCuCuO 5, the growth rates of Y 2 BaCuCO 5 generated in the melts of Y 1+2n Ba 2+n Cu 3+n O x (n=0–0.4) have been quantitatively obtained as functions of heat-treatment temperature (1000–1400°C) and heat-treatment period (10–120 minutes). All the melted samples have been prepared by heating them in an atmospheric condition, and room-temperature quenching.

A number of pellets with nominal concentration ratio of Y:Ba:Cu =2:1:1 have been sintered in air at temperatures between 800°C and 1400°C for 1 min ~24 h. The heat-treated samples were quenched to room temperature and the crystal growth rates of Y 2 BaCuO y≃5 were measured using ESR of Cu 2+. Systematic data on the growth rates were taken as a function of heat-treatment temperature and period.

The ESR of Cu 2+ and Gd 3+ ion in Y 2 Ba 1 Cu 1 O 5 and Gd 2 Ba 1 Cu 1 O 5 has been studied at temperatures from 4 K to room temperature. Particular emphasis has been paid to the ESR linewidths (∆H PP ) and g-values of the ions. The ∆H PP and g-values for Y 2 Ba 1 Cu 1 O 5 were found to have anomalous increments near 15 K, close to the Néel temperature of Y 2 Ba 1 Cu 1 O 5. Similarly, ∆H PP for Gd 2 Ba 1 Cu 1 O 5 had peaks near 12 K. Our analysis reveals that the ESR signal from Gd 2 Ba 1 Cu 1 O 5 is dominated by the Gd 3+ ESR. However, the magnetic ordering may be caused by both Gd-Gd and Gd-Cu interactions.

Determination of the microstructure and microchemistry of small features often provides the insight needed for the understanding of processes in real materials. In many cases, it is not adequate to use microscopy alone. Microdiffraction and microspectroscopic information such as EELS, X-ray microprobe analysis and Auger spectroscopy can all contribute vital parts of the picture. For a number of reasons, dedicated STEM offers considerable promise as a quantitative instrument. In this paper, we review progress towards effective quantitative use of STEM with illustrations drawn from studies of high Tc superconductors, compound semiconductors and metallization of H-terminated silicon.Intrinsically, STEM is a quantitative instrument. Images are acquired directly by detectors in serial mode which is particularly convenient for digital image acquisition, control and display. The VG HB501A at Cornell has been installed in a particularly stable electromagnetic, vibration and acoustic environment. Care has been paid to achieving UHV conditions (i.e., 10-10 Torr). Finally, it has been interfaced with a VAX 3200 work station by Kirkland. This permits, for example, the acquisition of bright field (or energy loss) images and dark field images simultaneously as quantitative arrays in perfect registration.
