We report on the measurements of the remnant magnetization, and hence critical current, in a single crystal of YBa2Cu4O8. A peak in the temperature dependence of the critical current is observed when the external magnetic field is tilted away from the a–b planes. The observed behavior is attributed to a thermally activated instability-driven vortex-lattice splitting or vortex chain formation. The nature of the peak and the possibility of a thermally-activated dimensional crossover have been discussed.

Abstract Magnetostriction is the emergence of a mechanical deformation induced by an external magnetic field. The conversion of magnetic energy into mechanical energy via magnetostriction at the nanoscale is the basis of many electromechanical systems such as sensors, transducers, actuators, and energy harvesters. However, cryogenic temperatures and large magnetic fields are often required to drive the magnetostriction in such systems, rendering this approach energetically inefficient and impractical for room-temperature device applications. Here, we report the experimental observation of giant magnetostriction in single-crystal nickel nanowires at room temperature. We determined the average values of the magnetostrictive constants of a Ni nanowire from the shifts of the measured diffraction patterns using the 002 and 111 Bragg reflections. At an applied magnetic field of 600 Oe, the magnetostrictive constants have values of λ100 = −0.161% and λ111 = −0.067%, two orders of magnitude larger than those in bulk nickel. Using Bragg coherent diffraction imaging (BCDI), we obtained the three-dimensional strain distribution inside the Ni nanowire, revealing nucleation of local strain fields at two different values of the external magnetic field. Our analysis indicates that the enhancement of the magnetostriction coefficients is mainly due to the increases in the shape, surface-induced, and stress-induced anisotropies, which facilitate magnetization along the nanowire axis and increase the total magnetoelastic energy of the system.

The results of calculating the temperature dependences of the critical current density and critical magnetic field of thin inhomogeneous superconducting films are presented. Comparison of the results obtained for inhomogeneous films with the results of calculations for homogeneous ones showed that in both cases, the decrease in the critical magnetic field occurs according to the root law, and the critical current density changes according to a power law with a degree of 3/2 when approaching the critical temperature. Quantitatively, the critical current density for inhomogeneous films in the absence of an external magnetic field is lower than for homogeneous ones. In turn, the critical magnetic field of inhomogeneous films is much larger than the critical field of homogeneous films.

The analysis of possible current distributions when passing current through a periodically modulated long Josephson contact located in an external magnetic field is carried out. An approach based on the analysis of continuous configuration modification proceeding in the direction of Gibbs potential reduction is used for the calculation. The case when the pinning parameter is less than the critical value is considered. It is shown that at any value of the external magnetic field, there is a critical value of the transport current, when exceeded, the situation ceases to be stationary, as a result of which energy passes into radiation and heat, i.e. currents cease to be persistent. The value of the critical current is determined by the value of the magnetic field at which the vortices begin to fill the entire length of the contact. With an increase in the external magnetic field, the critical value of the current decreases.

The Stockbargard – Bridgman method yielded single crystals Mn0.99Fe0.01As. The effect of an external magnetic field with an intensity of up to 10 T on phase transitions in the single crystal Mn0.99Fe0.01As is studied. It is established that the magnetostructural phase transition in Mn0.99Fe0.01As is accompanied by a change in the entropy ΔSm, which is due to the transformation of the crystal structure. At temperatures above the temperature of the magnetostructural transition Tu = 290 K, the existence of an unstable magnetic structure is obtained. The magnetocaloric characteristics of the material under study are determined by an indirect calculation method based on the Maxwell thermodynamic relations and the Clapeyron – Clausius equation.

ABSTRACTA tape-shaped wire with Y1 Ba2Cu3, O7-δ, core and Ag sheath was fabricated by a drawing-rolling method. The critical current density of the wire with 0.1 mm thickness and 6 mm width was in 2 the range of 2000 A/cm at 77 K in the absence of external magnetic field. Presence of 20 m Tesla magnetic field reduced the J value to 1/100.
