Specific heat of the high T/sub c/ superconductor Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-O

Journal Article · · Int. J. Mod. Phys. B; (United States)
The Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-O superconductors with the nominal composition (1113) were prepared. An orthorhombic unit cell (a=0.544nm, b=0.543nm, c-3.07nm) was determined by X-ray diffraction. The resistance transition curve shows that the sample has an onset around 110 K and the zero resistance temperature at 85 K. The mutual inductance measurement also shows a two-step transition which correspond to two superconducting phases as well as that in the resistive transition. The specific heat measurement was performed in the range of 56 K to 130 K by the continuous scanning method. A simple extrapolation of the curve was made from below and from above T/sub c/ to yield /Delta/C=45 mJ/g.K and /Delta/C/T/sub c/ = 0.49 mJ/g.K./sup 2/ From these values, the Sommerfield constant /gamma/ and the Debye temperature /theta//sub D/ were estimate.
