In the magnetic field below 1kOe, the sample undergoes the typical transition from the normal state to the superconducting state when it was cooled down. The applied magnetic fields in which the PME occurs, are very high compared with the fields reported in literatures. We propose that the occurrence of the PME may be due to a phase transition of flux vortices in the superconductors.展开更多

It is found that the insulator-metal transition is well consistent with the paramagnetic-ferromagnetic transition,and shifts to higher temperature with increasing applied magnetic field. These results suggest that the transport properties are triggered by the magnetic structure transition and consequently result in a CMR near T _C.展开更多

A steep increase in the in-plane upper critical field with cooling has been observed near the superconducting transition temperature, Tc, in KCa2Fe4As4F2 single crystals. Herein, we report a high-field investigation on upper critical field of this material over a wide temperature range, and both out-of-plane(H∥c, Hc2c) and in-plane(H∥ab, Hc2ab ) directions have been measured.A sublinear temperature-dependent behavior is observed for the out-of-plane Hc2c , whereas strong convex curvature with cooling is observed for the in-plane Hc2ab . Such behaviors could not be described by the conventional Werthamer-Helfand-Hohenberg(WHH) model. The data analysis based on the WHH model by considering the spin aspects reveals a large Maki parameter α=9,indicating that the in-plane upper critical field is affected by a very strong Pauli paramagnetic effect.展开更多

For such micron sized particles, after being cooled in a small magnetic field (e.g. less than 100 μT), the moment remaining during subsequent zero field warming contains almost no contribution from trapped flux and is dominated entirely by the paramagnetic Meissner effect (PME) of the particles. A systematic study of such a moment has been carried out to reveal its characteristic behavior of temperature, magnetic field and cooling or warming rate dependence. Methods for removing and recovering the PME of small superconducting particles are also reported.展开更多

Interpretation of the results is made in terms of a phenomenological model in which there is a concentration within the material of small local moments that can be polarized during a field cooling. Information about the magnitudes of these local m0oments and their distribution are deduced. Relations between the local moments and the particle sizes, the weak link, oxygen content and the interactions between the local moments are also discussed. Comparison of the results from small particles and bulk samples shows that conclusions obtained from small particle experiments are reliable and universal.展开更多
