Longitudinal and transverse voltages have been measured on thin films of MgB2 with different width of superconducting transition range. The study has been performed in zero and nonzero external magnetic fields. The non-zero transverse voltage has been observed in close vicinity of the critical temperature in zero external magnetic field while far enough from Tc this voltage has been zero. In magnetic field it merges into transverse voltage which is an even function with respect to the direction of the field. Usual Hall voltage starts to appear with increasing magnetic field. At the highest field the even voltage disappears and only the Hall voltage is measurable i.e. the transverse even voltage is suppressed with increasing magnetic field and increasing transport current as well. New scaling between transverse and longitudinal resistivities has been observed in the form ρxy~dρxx/dT . This correlation is valid not only in the zero magnetic field but also in nonzero magnetic field where transverse even voltage can be detected. Several models trying to explain observed results are discussed. The most promising seems to be guided motion of the vortices.

We consider a ferromagnetic Ising spin system, consisting of m+1, d-dimensional, layers with “–” boundary condition on the bottom layer and “+” on the top layer. When β is larger than βcr, the inverse critical temperature for the d-dimensional Ising model, the interface generated by the boundary conditions is expected to be halfway between bottom and top, for m odd, and just above or below the middle layer, for m even (each possibility with probability [Formula: see text]). In this paper, we prove the above assertion under the condition that β≥const . m and partly for β>βcr.

The new YBa 2 Cu 3-x( PO 4)x O 7-δ (x = 0; 0.03; 0.06; 0.09; 0.12) superconducting material was synthesized by the standard solid state reaction recipe. X-ray diffraction results show the effective substitution of copper for phosphate and also show no evidence of any impurity related with phosphate content. Resistivity, DC magnetization and heat capacity measurements reveal a superconducting transition for all samples with a maximum critical temperature up to 97 K, corresponding to the x = 0.03 sample. For higher doping values, the critical temperature decreases in an approximately linear response. In agreement with the charge transfer model, the critical temperature decreases with the carrier density. For x = 0.03, the critical temperature shows a rise up due to an approximation to the optimum density which separates over-doped and under-doped regimes. The maximum critical temperature achieved is one of the highest ever seen for the 123-type superconductors.

High-quality aluminum films on GaAs substrates were experimentally studied. A noticeable increase in the critical temperature of the superconducting transition with a decrease in the film thickness was found. The effect is interpreted as manifestation of the quantum size effect, which affects both the density of electron states and the electron-phonon interaction.
