چکیده

We have systematically investigated the magnetic, electrical, and structural properties of RuSr2GdCu2O8, in which a long-range ferromagnetic order and superconductivity have been previously reported to coexist. Based on the reversible magnetization results, we conclude that the bulk Meissner state does not exist in this compound and that the condensation energy associated with superconductivity is negligible. The absence of a bulk Meissner state and the superconductivity detected are thus attributed to the possible appearance of a sponge-like crypto-superconducting fine structure in RuSr2GdCu2O8 samples that are found to be chemically homogeneous to 1–2 μm and electrically uniform to ∼ 10 μm across the sample.

We investigate the dynamic evolution of jamming in granular media through fluctuations in the granular drag force. The successive collapse and formation of jammed states give a stick-slip nature to the fluctuations which is independent of the contact surface between the grains and the dragged object – thus implying that the stress-induced collapse is nucleated in the bulk of the granular sample...
