Several samples of K 3 C 60 have been made by the calcination of C 60 powder plus K flakes in evacuated quartz tubes at temperatures between 100°C and 700°C for 24 hours. The non-resonant microwave absorption (NRMA) measurements have been done below T c for these samples. From the linewidths and intensities of the NRMA signals, the superconducting properties (T c superconducting volume fraction and vortex size) have been studied as a function of the calcination temperature.

Non-resonant microwave absorption (NRMA) studies have been done for Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-O (BSCCO) films with thicknesses of 30 Å and 15 Å fabricated on MgO substrate by MOCVD. For the latter two kinds of samples have been fabricated: BSCCO/MgO and BiOx/BSCCO/MgO . NRMA signals have been detected up to about 70–75 K for all the samples. The lower critical magnetic field H c1 * of the 30 Å film was severely increased by the application of a magnetic field of several kGauss, whereas it is almost unaffected in the case of 15 Å films. H c1 * increases but the signal intensity decreases with increasing temperature for all the 30 Å and 15 Å samples. The temperature dependence of the intensity is quite different from that of thicker films (100 Å and 350 Å), in which the intensity vs. temperature relation has a peak (or peaks) at particular temperature(s).

We discuss a few possibilities of high- T c superconductivity with more than one orbital symmetry contributing to the pairing. First, we show that the high energies of orbital excitations in various cuprates suggest a simplified model with a single orbital of x 2 − y 2 symmetry doped by holes. Next, several routes towards involving both e g orbital symmetries for doped holes are discussed: (i) some give superconductivity in a CuO 2 monolayer on Bi2212 superconductors, Sr 2 CuO 4 − δ , Ba 2 CuO 4 − δ , while (ii) others as nickelate heterostructures or Eu 2 − x Sr x NiO 4 , could in principle realize it as well. At low electron filling of Ru ions, spin-orbital entangled states of t 2 g symmetry contribute in Sr 2 RuO 4 . Finally, electrons with both t 2 g and e g orbital symmetries contribute to the superconducting properties and nematicity of Fe-based superconductors, pnictides or FeSe. Some of them provide examples of orbital-selective Cooper pairing.

Non-resonant microwave absorption as a function of temperature and magnetic field has been studied in a Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-O film prepared by MOCVD. A maximum in the absorption as a function of temperature was observed at approximately 60 K. An average Josephson loop diameter of about 0.9~1.5 microns was inferred from the experimental results. The absorption was found to depend on the angle of the film plane relative to the applied field.

We report here on the structural and superconducting properties of RE 1 - 2x Pr x Ca x Sr 0.8 Ba 1.2 Cu 3 O 7 - δ (RE = Er and Gd, 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.2) high temperature superconductors. The transition temperature (Tc) of these compounds decreases when the Pr and Ca concentrations are increased. At constant Pr and Ca concentrations, the Tc of Er 1 - 2x Pr x Ca x Sr 0.8 Ba 1.2 Cu 3 O 7 - δ superconductor system is higher than that observed for the Gd 1 - 2x Pr x Ca x Sr 0.8 Ba 1.2 Cu 3 O 7 - δ system. For the Gd 0.8 Pr 0.1 Ca 0.1 Sr 0.8 Ba 1.2 Cu 3 O 7 - δ sample, after heating in argon followed by oxygen annealing, the orthorhombicity increases accompanied by 10 K increase in Tc. These results show that though our data indicate an ion-size effect, the Tc suppression rate dTc/dx depends very much on the heat treatment adopted to prepare the samples.

ESR of DPPH coated on a Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-O (BSCCO) film (350 Å thick) fabricated on MgO(100) substrate by MOCVD was studied. Temperature dependence of the ESR peak-to-peak linewidth, ΔH pp , and the effect of applied magnetic field on ΔH pp have been studied below about 100 K. The results were compared with those of ESR of DPPH coated on ceramic Y-Ba-Cu-O samples (powder and bulk) made by the MPMG method. The DPPH ESR for the BSCCO film revealed that ΔH pp was independent of applied magnetic field up to about 9 kG. In addition, no similarity between the temperature dependence of the excess ESR linewidth of the DPPH and that of critical current density was found for the BSCCO film. These results for the BSCCO film are different from those for the MPMG YBCO samples.
