The magnetic properties of the newly discovered iron-oxypnictide SmFeAsO 0.85 high-Tc superconductor with a Tc of around 55 K were investigated. Bulk SmFeAsO 0.85 was prepared by a method for high-pressure synthesis. The lower critical field H c1 was estimated from the magnetization at low fields; H c1 (0) was measured to be 212 Oe. A linear temperature dependence instead of saturation at low temperatures in H c1 (T) revealed unconventional superconductivity with a nodal gap structure in our SmFeAsO 0.85 superconductor. The results showed that the well-known secondary peak in the temperature dependence of the critical current density Jc is absent in the SmFeAsO 0.85 high-Tc superconductor. The irreversibility line B irr was fitted well by the power law dependence (1 - T/Tc)n with n ~ 1.5. This is indicative of the flux creep phenomena in the SmFeAsO 0.85 high-Tc superconductor. In addition, within the range of measurement temperatures in this study, no crossover was observed in the temperature dependence of the irreversibility line B irr which may be due to low anisotropy in our SmFeAsO 0.85 superconductor.

Temperature dependence of ESR linewidth, ΔHPP, of Gd3+ in Y1−xGdxBa2Cu3Oy (x=0.2, 0.5 and 1) has been studied between about Tc (zero-resistance temperature) and about 600°C. For all the samples, ΔHPP progressively broadens as temperature approaches Tc from high temperature side, presumably due to inhomogeneous magnetic field distributions arising from superconductivity. On the contrary, ΔHpp is nearly linear in temperature between about 100 K and 600 K with temperature gradient, ∂(ΔHPP)/∂T~0.6 G/deg. The linear temperature dependence is assumed to be due to the Korringa relation. From the temperature gradient obtained above, JN(EF) was estimated as 0.0025, where J is the coupling coefficient between Gd spin S and conduction carrier’s spin S, and N(EF) is the density of states on the Fermi surface. In addition, by substituting an appropriate value for J, N(EF) was crudely estimated for the Y-Gd-Ba-Cu-O system.

The dielectric and magnetic polarizations of quantum paraelectrics and paramagnetic materials have in many cases been found to initially increase with increasing thermal disorder and hence, exhibit peaks as a function of temperature. A quantitative description of these examples of “order-by-disorder” phenomena has remained elusive in nearly ferromagnetic metals and in dielectrics on the border of displacive ferroelectric transitions. Here, we present an experimental study of the evolution of the dielectric susceptibility peak as a function of pressure in the nearly ferroelectric material, strontium titanate, which reveals that the peak position collapses toward absolute zero as the ferroelectric quantum critical point is approached. We show that this behavior can be described in detail without the use of adjustable parameters in terms of the Larkin–Khmelnitskii–Shneerson–Rechester (LKSR) theory, first introduced nearly 50 y ago, of the hybridization of polar and acoustic modes in quantum paraelectrics, in contrast to alternative models that have been proposed. Our study allows us to construct a detailed temperature–pressure phase diagram of a material on the border of a ferroelectric quantum critical point comprising ferroelectric, quantum critical paraelectric, and hybridized polar-acoustic regimes. Furthermore, at the lowest temperatures, below the susceptibility maximum, we observe a regime characterized by a linear temperature dependence of the inverse susceptibility that differs sharply from the quartic temperature dependence predicted by the LKSR theory. We find that this non-LKSR low-temperature regime cannot be accounted for in terms of any detailed model reported in the literature, and its interpretation poses an empirical and conceptual challenge.

The formation of coherent arrays of twins in a tetragonal to orthorhombic transition and its effects on electronic properties are studied. The twin boundary oscillations (“dyadons”) have an anisotropic dispersion with frequencies typically ≲1010 sec −1 for wavevectors perpendicular to the boundaries. This results in a ~T2 contribution to the specific heat for T≳ 1° K and a linear temperature dependence of the resistivity. The unusual anisotropy yields vertex corrections which diverge at high temperatures and can enhance T c.

Piezoelectric ultrasonic transducers are used extensively in well logging and logging-while-drilling applications for pulse-echo operation. We present a method of modeling the operation of ultrasonic thin-disk piezoelectric transducers over a wide range of temperatures. The model is based on using Redwood's version of Mason's model of thin-disk transducers. Laboratory measurements in the oven of non-backed transducers in air are used to extract the Mason model parameters as a function of temperature. Derived parameters are frequency-thickness constant, dielectric constant, and thickness mode coupling coefficient. A fourth parameter, bulk density, is measured independently and assumed constant over temperature. Temperature dependence of frequency thickness constant and coupling coefficient are modeled as linear temperature coefficients. Temperature dependence of the dielectric constant must be specified as a table because of the non-linear temperature dependence of that parameter.
