Magnetic and superconducting properties of RBa/sub 2/Cu/sub 3/O/sub x/ compounds

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. B: Condens. Matter; (United States)
Specific-heat and dc magnetic-susceptibility measurements have been performed on RBa/sub 2/Cu/sub 3/O/sub x/ (R denotes rare earth) compounds. These measurements show that the rare-earth atoms behave as local moments above the superconducting transition temperature of these compounds which can be as high or higher than in nonmagnetic YBa/sub 2/Cu/sub 3/O/sub x/. Further, we find coexistence of superconductivity and magnetism in R = Gd, Er, and Dy compounds and evidence for crystalline-electric-field splittings in these materials.
