Enhancement of the critical current density of YBa2Cu3Ox superconductors under hydrostatic pressure.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The dependence of the critical current density Jc on hydrostatic pressure to 0.6 GPa is determined for a single 25 degrees [001]-tilt grain boundary in a bicrystalline ring of nearly optimally doped melt-textured YBa2Cu3Ox. Jc is found to increase rapidly under pressure at +20%/GPa. A new diagnostic method is introduced (pressure-induced Jc relaxation) which reveals a sizable concentration of vacant oxygen sites in the grain boundary region. Completely filling such sites with oxygen anions should lead to significant enhancements in Jc.

Enhancement of Critical Current across Single Grain Boundaries in YBa2Cu3Ox and Search for Superconductivity in Alkali Metals
The ability of single grain boundaries in YBa2Cu3Ox bicrystalline rings to carry electrical current is found to be significantly enhanced under hydrostatic pressure. Nearly hydrostatic pressures are applied to the alkali metals Li, Na, and K. in a search for superconductivity. Whereas Li becomes superconducting above 20 GPa at temperatures as high as 15 K, no superconductivity was observed abov...
متن کاملGiant enhancement in critical current density, up to a hundredfold, in superconducting NaFe0.97Co0.03 As single crystals under hydrostatic pressure
Tremendous efforts towards improvement in the critical current density "Jc" of iron based superconductors (FeSCs), especially at relatively low temperatures and magnetic fields, have been made so far through different methods, resulting in real progress. Jc at high temperatures in high fields still needs to be further improved, however, in order to meet the requirements of practical application...
متن کاملHydrostatic pressure: A very effective approach to significantly enhance critical current density in granular iron pnictide superconductors
Pressure is well known to significantly raise the superconducting transition temperature, Tc, in both iron pnictides and cuprate based superconductors. Little work has been done, however, on how pressure can affect the flux pinning and critical current density in the Fe-based superconductors. Here, we propose to use hydrostatic pressure to significantly enhance flux pinning and Tc in polycrysta...

The dependence of the critical current density Jc T on hydrostatic He-gas pressure to 0.6 GPa is determined for nearly optimally doped and strongly underdoped melt-textured YBa2Cu3Ox bicrystalline rings containing single 001 -tilt grain boundaries GBs with mismatch angles from 0° to 31°. For all samples with 0°, Jc is found to increase rapidly under pressure, the rate of increase lying predomin...
متن کاملEnhanced superconducting properties of bicrystalline YBa2Cu3Ox and alkali metals under pressure
Nearly hydrostatic pressures are found to enhance the critical current density Jc through single grain boundaries in YBa2Cu3Ox rings and to induce superconductivity in Li. Whereas Li becomes superconducting above 20 GPa at temperatures as high as 15 K, no superconductivity was observed above 4 K in Na to 65 GPa nor in K above 4 K to 43.5 GPa or above 1.5 K to 35 GPa.
