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.

Within the kinetic energy driven superconducting mechanism, the doping and temperature dependence of the superfluid density in cuprate superconductors is studied throughout the superconducting dome. It is shown that the superfluid density shows a crossover from the linear temperature dependence at low temperatures to a nonlinear one in the extremely low temperatures. In analogy to the dome-like shape of the doping dependent superconducting transition temperature, the maximal zero-temperature superfluid density occurs around the critical doping δ ≈ 0.195, and then decreases in both lower doped and higher doped regimes.

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.

We have found the correlation between nanoscopic phase separation in the copper-oxygen planes of YBCO and TlBCCO and the transport and magnetic properties of these materials in the a-b planes such as: the temperature dependence of the critical current density Jc( T ), the temperature dependence of the superfluid density ns( T )∝1/λ2( T ) at low temperatures, the temperature dependence of the normalized logarithmic relaxation rate S(T), and the dependence of the effective energy barrier against vortex motion on the current density Ueff( J ). These properties are controlled by the ratio of the amount of an underdoped filamentary phase to that of an optimally doped one.
