The structural properties of  high Tc superconductor by XRD, SEM and EDX, resistivity, critical electrical current density and oxygen content measurement have ben studied. The sample of  is prepared by solid state reaction, with two different thermal conditions. The XRD results have shown the formation of pure phase of . The oxygen content measurement for two samples by Iodometric titration giv...

  In this letter, titania nanopowder and titania-silica nanocomposite were prepared using sol-gel method. Although the size of nanocrystallites and the mass fraction percent age of rutile phase ( after phase transformation ) were increased by increasing calcination in the two samples , their size in titania-silica nanocomposite was smaller than that in pure titania . Moreover, the calculations ...

We have investigated the magnetic properties of three-dimensional topological insulators, doped with magnetic atoms. The spin-orbit locking of surface electrons results in interesting magnetic behaviors, absent in conventional insulators without spin-orbit coupling. In particular, the ferromagnetic-paramagnetic transition temperature has a strong dependence on different system parameters. Here,...

  By using Greens function method we first show that the effective interaction between two electrons mediated by plasmon exchange can become attractive which in turn can lead to superconductivity at a high critical temperature in a singl wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNT). The superconducting transition temperature Tc for the SWCNT (3,3) obtained by this mechanism agrees with the recent experimental...
