Book Handbook of Superconductivity

Download or read book Handbook of Superconductivity written by David A. Cardwell and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2022-07-05 with total page 881 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the last of three volumes of the extensively revised and updated second edition of the Handbook of Superconductivity. The past twenty years have seen rapid progress in superconducting materials, which exhibit one of the most remarkable physical states of matter ever to be discovered. Superconductivity brings quantum mechanics to the scale of the everyday world. Viable applications of superconductors rely fundamentally on an understanding of these intriguing phenomena and the availability of a range of materials with bespoke properties to meet practical needs. While the first volume covers fundamentals and various classes of materials, the second addresses processing of these into various shapes and configurations needed for applications, and ends with chapters on refrigeration methods necessary to attain the superconducting state and the desired performance. This third volume starts with a wide range of methods permitting one to characterize both the materials and various end products of processing. Subsequently, diverse classes of both large scale and electronic applications are described. Volume 3 ends with a glossary relevant to all three volumes. Key Features: Covers the depth and breadth of the field Includes contributions from leading academics and industry professionals across the world Provides hands-on familiarity with the characterization methods and offers descriptions of representative examples of practical applications A comprehensive reference, the handbook is suitable for both graduate students and practitioners in experimental physics, materials science, and multiple engineering disciplines, including electronic and electrical, chemical, mechanical, metallurgy and others.

Book Characterization of Superconducting and Magnetic Materials with Muon Spin Rotation and Neutron Scattering  Progress Report  March 1996  August 1997 and Final Report  June 1988  August 1997

Download or read book Characterization of Superconducting and Magnetic Materials with Muon Spin Rotation and Neutron Scattering Progress Report March 1996 August 1997 and Final Report June 1988 August 1997 written by and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report represents the culmination of over nine years of research activity in the study of superconducting and magnetically ordered materials using the muon spin rotation ([mu]SR) and neutron scattering techniques. Because all the activities that took place up until March 1996 have been covered in previous annual reports, this final report includes only a brief overview of activities prior to that date, and concentrates on the period from March 1996 through August 1997. The primary activity undertaken in this project has been studies of high-temperature superconductors and their close chemical relatives with the[mu]SR technique. These experiments extend from early work done with a relatively primitive muon beam at the AGS of Brookhaven National Laboratory and large polycrystalline samples of the earliest known high-[Tc] materials to studies of very small high-purity single crystals of the best high-[Tc] materials currently available using the highest quality surface muon beams and specially-designed low-background spectrometers at the Tri-University Meson Facility (TRIUMF) in the past three years. During the period since the last annual report five[mu]SR experiments were done at TRIUMF with DOE support. A study of single-crystal high-temperature superconductors was done in July 1996. A study of the quasicrystal materials Gd[sub 8]Mg[sub 42]Zn[sub 50] and Tb[sub 8]Mg[sub 42]Zn[sub 50] was done by D.R. Noakes in collaboration with G.M. Kalvius of the Technical University of Munich and R. Waeppling of Uppsala University during the first week of December 1996. During the second week of December 1996 a study of the cryocrystals CH[sub 4] and CF[sub 4] was done by D.R. Noakes in collaboration with S. Storchak of Moscow State University and J.H. Brewer of the University of British Columbia. A study of high-[Tc] superconductors was done at TRIUMF during the third week of December 1996 by C.E. Stronach and D.R. Noakes.

Book Neutron Scattering Studies of Spin phonon Hybridization and Superconducting Spin Gaps in the High Temperature Superconductor La2 x Sr Ba xCuO4

Download or read book Neutron Scattering Studies of Spin phonon Hybridization and Superconducting Spin Gaps in the High Temperature Superconductor La2 x Sr Ba xCuO4 written by and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We present time-of-flight neutron-scattering measurements on single crystals of La2-xBaxCuO4 (LBCO) with 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.095 and La2-xSrxCuO4 (LSCO) with x = 0.08 and 0.11. This range of dopings spans much of the phase diagram relevant to high temperature cuprate superconductivity, ranging from insulating, three dimensional commensurate long range antiferromagnetic order for x ≤ 0.02 to two dimensional (2D) incommensurate antiferromagnetism co-existing with superconductivity for x ≥ 0.05. Previous work on lightly doped LBCO with x = 0.035 showed a clear resonant enhancement of the inelastic scattering coincident with the low energy crossings of the highly dispersive spin excitations and quasi-2D optic phonons. The present work extends these measurements across the phase diagram and shows this enhancement to be a common feature to this family of layered quantum magnets. Furthermore we show that the low temperature, low energy magnetic spectral weight is substantially larger for samples with non-superconducting ground states relative to any of the samples with superconducting ground states. Lastly spin gaps, suppression of low energy magnetic spectral weight, are observed in both superconducting LBCO and LSCO samples, consistent with previous observations for superconducting LSCO.

Book Magnetic Neutron Scattering  Proceedings Of The Third Summer School On Neutron Scattering

Download or read book Magnetic Neutron Scattering Proceedings Of The Third Summer School On Neutron Scattering written by Albert Furrer and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 1995-10-12 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The proceedings provide a topical survey of the static and dynamical magnetic properties of condensed matter studied by neutron scattering which has been the key technique in this field for a long time. The static aspects deal with the determination of long-range ordered spin structures and magnetization densities. The dynamic aspects concentrate on the determination of magnetic excitations such as spin waves and crystal-field transitions. The use of polarized-neutron techniques is particularly emphasized. All these topics are thoroughly introduced, methodically discussed, and highlighted with recent experimental results obtained for a vast variety of magnetic materials (e.g., strongly correlated electron systems, multilayers, nanocrystals, molecular complexes, etc.) by acknowledged experts. Other experimental methods (x-ray scattering, muon spin rotation) in the study of magnetism are compared to neutron scattering.

Book  Neutron Scattering Studies of the High temperature Superconducting Materials

Download or read book Neutron Scattering Studies of the High temperature Superconducting Materials written by and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 8 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The traveler was given beam time at the ILL to continue neutron scattering work on high-temperature superconductivity. The unique facilities at the ILL for both high-energy and low-energy neutron instrumentation made the experiments possible. The measurements consisted of two basic types. The first of these is the study of the nature of spin fluctuations in high-{Tc} materials. This work is fundamental to the mechanism that is responsible for the high-transition temperatures. The second consisted of experiments on the flux lattice in high-temperature superconductors. The flux lattice has interesting physics in its own right and is important in understanding the current-carrying capability of superconductors.

Book Quantum Materials Explored by Neutron Scattering

Download or read book Quantum Materials Explored by Neutron Scattering written by Peter Babkevich and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis describes neutron scattering experiments on strongly correlated systems exhibiting a range of emergent phenomena: antiferromagnetism, charge order, superconductivity and multiferroicity. I have examined the La_{2}CoO_{4} compound which is a Mott insulator and orders antiferromagnetically near room temperature. The La_{2}CoO_{4} sample was studied using spherical neutron polarimetry and I present magnetic structure models to describe the two antiferromagnetic phases of the compound. Furthermore, the magnetic fluctuations have been investigated using neutron time-of-flight technique. This has allowed us to extract the dominant exchange interactions in the system. More interestingly, the work on La_{2}CoO_{4} presented in this thesis provides a basis for the experimental evidence of an hourglass dispersion in La_{5/3}Sr_{1/3}CoO_{4}, previously only observed in the copper oxide based superconductors. This dispersion has been understood in terms of a stripe ordered magnetic phase and was found to be well described by a linear spin-wave model. Neutron scattering experiments were also carried out on the new iron-based high-temperature superconductors, FeSe_{x}Te_{1-x}. A range of compositions were studied, including both antiferromagnetically ordered and superconducting. Below the superconducting phase transition temperature, a spin resonance mode was found centred on the antiferromagnetic wavevector. This is an important feature shared by many unconventional superconductors. The spin resonance intensity was found to reflect the order parameter of the superconducting state. Polarised inelastic neutron scattering experiments have revealed a small anisotropy between the in-plane and out-of-plane magnetic fluctuations at the resonance. This anisotropy cannot be readily explained by the usual anisotropic terms in the Hamiltonian. This could be evidence of new physics in the FeSe_{x}Te_{1-x} superconductors. Finally, I have studied CuO - a high-temperature multiferroic. Analysis of polarised neutron diffraction experiments shows that the magnetic domain population can be varied using an externally applied electric field. This unambiguously demonstrates coupling between the magnetic and ferroelectric degrees of freedom. Using representation analysis I derive the incommensurate magnetic structure in the multiferroic phase. The origin of the magnetoelectric coupling is consistent with models based on the inverse Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction.
