1 Scaling of H c 2 ⊥ ( T ) in Nb / CuMn Multilayers
نویسندگان
چکیده
Measurements of the perpendicular upper critical magnetic field H c2⊥ (T) are reported for several Nb/CuMn multilayers. It is found that, despite the magnetic nature of the samples, the data for samples with low Mn percentage in the CuMn layers are simply described by the Werthamer-Helfand-Honenberg theory for conventional type-II superconductors, neglecting both Pauli spin paramagnetism and spin orbit impurity scattering. For high Mn concentration a different theoretical aprroach is needed.

Critical measurements in the spin glass CuMn
We present experimental data on the magnetization M(H) of a CuMn 1 at. % in the range Tc~ T ~ 4 Tc, 0 H 7 teslas. We took special precautions in order to eliminate systematic errors and improve the reliability of the data. It was then possible to study the temperature dependence of the first coefficients A1, A3, A5 in the expansion of the low field magnetization data in terms of odd powers of $...
متن کاملN ov 1 99 8 Microwave surface impedance of proximity - coupled superconducting ( Nb ) / spin - glass ( CuMn ) bilayers
The surface impedance of Nb/CuMn (superconducting/spin-glass) bilayers has been measured at 10 GHz with the parallel plate resonator technique to obtain information about the exotic behavior of the order parameter in superconducting/magnetic proximity systems. The data strongly differs from the superconducting/normal-metal case, showing the magnetic nature of the CuMn layer, which acts as a wea...
متن کاملThe adsorption of prothrombin to phosphatidylserine multilayers quantitated by ellipsometry.
We investigated by means of an automated ellipsometer the adsorption of prothrombin from a buffer solution by multilayers of 14:0/14:0- and 18:1/18:1-phosphatidylserine (PS) stacked on chromium slides. In this instrument thickness and refractive index of the adsorbed phospholipid and proteins are monitored continuously. Two equations are derived to relate the mass of stacked phospholipids and t...
متن کاملMagnetic-coherence-length scaling in metallic multilayers.
An improved description of the critical properties of metallic multilayers is obtained by introducing the concept of a scaled magnetic coherence length in the Takahashi-Tachiki theory. By that, the absolute magnitude of the upper critical fields and the position of the dimensional crossover are uncoupled and become independent quantities. Much better phase diagrams can be obtained by using this...
متن کاملEffect of layer thickness on the mechanical behavior of oxidation-strengthened Zr/Nb nanoscale multilayers
The effect of bilayer thickness (L) reduction on the oxidation-induced strengthening of Zr/Nb nanoscale metallic multilayers (NMM) is investigated. Zr/Nb NMMs with L = 10 and 75 nm were annealed at 350 oC for a time ranging between 2 and 336 h and the changes in structure and deformation behaviour were studied by nano-scale mechanical testing and analytical electron microscopy. Annealing led to...
