Generic properties of layered superconductors
- Materials Science Division, Argonne National Laboratory, Argonne, Illinois 60439 (United States)
A wide variety of layered materials have been found to be superconducting. Among these are graphite intercalation donor compounds, transition metal dichalcogenides, intercalated transition metal dichalcogenides, organic layered superconductors, artificial superlattices, and the cuprates. The normal state properties of all of these compounds are very similar, due to the fact that they all have well-defined Fermi surfaces, and quasi-linear in-plane resistivities at high temperatures. At lower temperatures, charge- or spin-density waves are common in these systems. With the exception of the graphite intercalation compounds, all of the layered superconductors are type-II, and generally highly anisotropic in their superconducting properties. Dimensional crossover from anisotropic bulk to thin film behavior is common to many of these materials.
