Abstract

The authors present a brief review of results on the surface impedance of cuprate superconductors, focusing mainly on YBa{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 7{minus}{delta}} (YBCO) and evidence of d-wave superconductivity in that material. They then discuss the recent results on BaK-Bi-O thin films, and the effects of DC electric fields on the surface impedance of YBCO films. A summary of their data on high quality thin films and single crystals of the electron-doped Nd{sub 1.85}Ce{sub 0.15}Ce{sub 0.15}CuO{sub 4{minus}{delta}} (NCCO) cuprate superconductor follows. Surprisingly, the measurements on NCCO are consistent with the behavior of an s-wave BCS superconductor, in striking contrast to recent results on YBCO. Finally they discuss some of the interesting potential implications of d-wave superconductivity for microwave applications of the cuprates.

Pairing symmetry and electrodynamics of superconducting YBa{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 7-{delta}}, Nd{sub 1.85}Ce{sub 0.15}CuO{sub 4}, and Nb

Journal Article Wu, Dong-Ho; Mao, Jian; Anlage, S - Journal of Superconductivity

We experimentally investigate the pairing symmetry and electrodynamics of YBa{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 7-{delta}} (YBCO), Nd{sub 1.85}Ce{sub 0.15}CuO{sub 4} (NCCO), and Nb by examining the temperature dependence of the penetration depth {lambda} (T) and surface resistance R{sub s}(T) in a comparative manner. Using the measured {lambda}(T) and R{sub s}(T), we extract the complex conductivity {sigma}={sigma}{sub 1}-i{sigma}{sub 2} for each sample, and the quasiparticle scattering time {tau}(T) for the ab-plane and c-axis in YBCO. While NCCO and Nb show a strong resemblance in their electrodynamic properties, the electrodynamic properties of YBCO are very distinctive from the others. The results suggest that NCOOmore »« less

Surface impedance measurements of cuprate superconductors. Nd[sub 1. 85]Ce[sub 0. 15]CuO[sub 4[minus][Delta]] - A case study

Conference Anlage, S; Wu, D; Mao, J; ... - Journal of Superconductivity; (United States)

We present results on the temperature dependence of the surface impedance of high-quality thin films and single crystals of the electron-doped Nd[sub 1.85]Ce[sub 0.15]CuO[sub 4[minus][delta]] cuprate superconductor. Surprisingly, these measurements are consistent with the behavior of an s-wave BCS superconductor. We also briefly review some highlights of surface impedance measurements on hole-doped cuprate superconductors, and contrast those with the results on Nd[sub 1.85]Ce[sub 0.15]CuO[sub 4[minus][delta]]. 31 refs., 3 figs., 1 tab.
Copper oxide superconductors

Miscellaneous Garcia-Vazquez, V

The properties of superconducting YBa[sub 2]Cu[sub 3]O[sub 7[minus][delta]] thin films have been studied. Films have been prepared by multilayer deposition followed by ex situ furnace annealing. Deposition consists of a combination of dc triode sputtering from metallic targets of Y and Cu and thermal evaporation from a BaF[sub 2] source. Superconducting and structural properties of the films strongly depend on the annealing conditions. Several heat treatment cycles were investigated, as well as different compositions. Best results were obtained for films deposited on (100) SrTiO[sub 3] substrates, exhibiting T[sub c](onset) as high as 92 K and zero resistance by 85 K.more »« less
Anomalies in the temperature dependence of the local magnetization in YBa{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 7{minus}{delta}} and Nd{sub 1.85}Ce{sub 0.15}CuO{sub 4{minus}{delta}} crystals

Journal Article Giller, D; Shaulov, A; Yeshurun, Y - Journal of Low Temperature Physics

Local magnetic measurements as a function of temperature (m{sub H}(T)) in Nd{sub 1.85}Ce{sub 0.15}CuO{sub 4{minus}d} (NCCO) and untwinned YBa{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 7{minus}{delta}} (YBCO) crystals reveal an abrupt increase in the local magnetization at a field dependent temperature, in a certain field range. Both crystals also exhibit a pronounced kink in their local magnetization vs field (m{sub T}(H)) curves. However, while in YBCO the anomalies in m{sub T}(H) and m{sub H}(T) curves occur along the same line in the field-temperature plane, in NCCO the (B, T) locations of the anomalies do not coincide. In both crystals the anomalies in m{sub T}(H)more »« less

Distinct Pairing Symmetries in Nd_1.85Ce_0.15CuO_4-δ and La_1.89Sr_0.11CuO₄ Single Crystals: Evidence from Comparative Tunneling Measurements

Journal Article Shan, L.; Huang, Y.; Gao, H.; ... - Physical Review B

We used point-contact tunneling spectroscopy to study the superconducting pairing symmetry of electron-doped Nd{sub 1.85}Ce{sub 0.15}CuO{sub 4-y} (NCCO) and hole-doped La{sub 1.89}Sr{sub 0.11}CuO{sub 4} (LSCO). Nearly identical spectra without zero bias conductance peak (ZBCP) were obtained on the (110) and (100) oriented surfaces (the so-called nodal and anti-nodal directions) of NCCO. In contrast, LSCO showed a remarkable ZBCP in the nodal direction as expected from a d-wave superconductor. Detailed analysis reveals an s-wave component in the pairing symmetry of the NCCO sample with {Delta}?k{sub B}T{sub c}=1.66, a value remarkably close to that of a weakly coupled Bardeen-Cooper-Schriffer (BCS) superconductor.
