Title: Freestanding crystalline $YB a_{2} C u_{3} O_{7 - x}$ heterostructure membranes

Abstract

We report the synthesis of millimeter-sized freestanding single-crystal YBa₂Cu₃O_7–x heterostructure membranes with nanoscale thickness. On a SrTiO₃ substrate, a heteroepitaxial water-soluble sacrificial layer of Sr₃Al₂O₆ followed by an encapsulated YBa₂Cu₃O_7–x film is grown by pulsed laser deposition. A freestanding YBa₂Cu₃O_7–x heterostructure membrane is obtained by etching the sacrificial layer. As a result, its high crystalline quality is demonstrated via x-ray diffraction, electrical measurements, and scanning transmission electron microscopy.

Quasi-two-dimensional fluctuations in the magnetization of $L a_{1.9} C a_{1.1} C u_{2} O_{6 + δ}$ superconductors

Journal Article Shi, Xiaoya ; Dimitrov, I. K. ; Ozaki, Toshinori ; ... - Physical Review B

We report the results of magnetization measurements with the magnetic field applied along the c axis on superconducting La_1.9Ca_1.1Cu₂O_6+δ single crystals processed under ultrahigh oxygen pressure. Strong fluctuation effects were found in both low- and high-field regimes. Scaling analysis of the high-field magnetization data near the critical temperature (T_c = 53.5K) region reveals the characteristics of critical fluctuation behavior of quasi-two-dimensional (2D) superconductivity, described by Ginzburg-Landau theory using the lowest Landau level approximation. Low-field magnetic susceptibility data can be successfully explained by the Lawrence-Doniach model for a quasi-2D superconductor, from which we obtained the a b plane Ginzburg-Landau coherence lengthmore »« less

Journal Article Wang, Wei ; Zhang, Jine ; Shen, Xi ; ... - Physical Review B

Perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) in multilayer thin films promotes the development of spintronic and magnonic research fields. The origin of the PMA deserves a thorough investigation since it contains rich physics related to multiple factors in the heterostructure system. In this report, we study the origin of PMA in La_2/3Sr_1/3 Mn O₃ (LSMO) thin films sandwiched by La_1-xSr_xCoO_3-δ (LSCO) layers grown on SrTiO₃ substrate, using aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy. Our findings indicate that the lattice and electronic structures of LSMO can be modified through the inhomogeneous strains induced by nanodomains in LSCO layers. Moreover, we infer that the latticemore »« less

Enhanced coherent oscillations in the superconducting state of underdoped $YB a_{2} C u_{3} O_{6 + x}$ induced via ultrafast terahertz excitation

Journal Article Dakovski, Georgi L. ; Lee, Wei-Sheng ; Hawthorn, David G. ; ... - Physical Review. B, Condensed Matter and Materials Physics

We utilize intense, single-cycle terahertz pulses to induce collective excitations in the charge-density-wave-ordered underdoped cuprate YBa₂Cu₃O_6+x. These excitations manifest themselves as pronounced coherent oscillations of the optical reflectivity in the transient state, accompanied by minimal incoherent quasiparticle relaxation dynamics. The oscillations occur at frequencies consistent with soft phonon energies associated with the charge-density-wave, but vanish above the superconducting transition temperature rather than that at the charge-density-wave transition. These results indicate an intimate relationship of the terahertz excitation with the underlying charge-density-wave and the superconducting condensate itself.

Simulation of the Vortex Dynamics in a Real Pinning Landscape of ${YBa}_{2} {Cu}_{3} O_{7 - δ}$ Coated Conductors

Journal Article Sadovskyy, I. A. ; Koshelev, A. E. ; Glatz, A. ; ... - Physical Review Applied

The ability of high-temperature superconductors (HTSs) to carry very large currents with almost no dissipation makes them irreplaceable for high-power applications. The development and further improvement of HTS-based cables require an in-depth understanding of the superconducting vortex dynamics in the presence of complex pinning landscapes. We present a critical current analysis of a real HTS sample in a magnetic field by combining state-of-the-art large-scale Ginzburg-Landau simulations with reconstructive three-dimensional scanning-transmission-electron-microscopy tomography of the pinning landscape in Dy-doped YBa₂Cu₃O_7-δ. This methodology provides a unique look at the vortex dynamics in the presence of a complex pinning landscape responsible for the high-current-carrying-capacitymore »« less

Decomposition of $L a_{2 - x} S r_{x} Cu O_{4}$ into several $L a_{2} O_{3}$ phases at elevated temperatures in ultrahigh vacuum inside a transmission electron microscope

Journal Article Jeong, Jong Seok ; Wu, Wangzhou ; Topsakal, Mehmet ; ... - Physical Review Materials

Here, we report the decomposition of La_2–xSr_xCuO₄ into La₂O₃ and Cu nanoparticles in ultrahigh vacuum, observed by in situ heating experiments in a transmission electron microscope. The analysis of electron diffraction data reveals that the phase decomposition process starts at about 150°C and is considerably expedited in the temperature range of 350°C–450°C. Two major resultant solid phases are identified as metallic Cu and La₂O₃ by electron diffraction, simulation, and electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS) analyses. With the aid of calculations, La₂O₃ phases are further identified to be derivatives of a fluorite structure—fluorite, pyrochlore, and (distorted) bixbyite—characterized by different oxygen-vacancy order.
