On the equilibrium magnetization of high-Tc superconductors below the irreversibility line
I. L. Landau, H. R. Ott
By scaling isothermal magnetization data measured at different temperatures in the mixed state of high-Tc superconductors, we show that in some cases the sample magnetization, meas…
Anisotropy of the superconducting state properties and phase diagram of MgB2 by torque magnetometry on single crystals
M. Angst, R. Puzniak, A. Wisniewski +6
The angular and temperature dependence of the upper critical field Hc2 in MgB2 was determined from torque magnetometry measurements on single crystals. The Hc2 anisotropy gamma_H w…
Independent determination of the two gaps by directional point-contact spectroscopy in MgB_2 single crystals
R. S. Gonnelli, D. Daghero, G. A. Ummarino +4
Directional point-contact spectroscopy measurements were performed for the first time in state-of-the-art MgB_2 single crystals. The selective suppression of the superconductivity…

R. S. Gonnelli, D. Daghero, G. A. Ummarino +4
We present the results of the first directional point-contact spectroscopy experiments in high-quality MgB_2 single crystals. Due to the directionality of the current injection int…
MgB2 single crystals: high pressure growth and anisotropic properties
J. Karpinski, M. Angst, J. Jun +11
Single crystals of MgB2 with a size up to 1.5x0.9x0.2 mm3 have been grown with a high pressure cubic anvil technique. The crystal growth process is very peculiar and involves an in…
Comment on "Superconducting anisotropy and evidence for intrinsic pinning in single crystalline MgB2"
M. Angst, R. Puzniak, A. Wisniewski +3
In a recent paper [Phys. Rev. B 66, 012501 (2002)], torque data measured on a MgB2 single crystal in fields from 10 to 60 kOe at 10 K were presented. The authors obtained the aniso…
Temperature dependence of the upper critical field of type-II superconductors from isothermal magnetization data. Application to high temperature superconductors
I. L. Landau, H. R. Ott
Using the Ginzburg-Landau theory in very general terms, we develop a simple scaling procedure which allows to establish the temperature dependence of the upper critical field and t…

Super-conducting critical fields and anisotropy of a MgB2 single crystal
G. K. Perkins, J. Moore, Y. Bugoslavsky +5
Despite the intense activity in the year since the discovery of superconductivity in MgB2, key parameters, in particular the upper and lower critical fields Hc2 and Hc1 and their a…
Disorder-induced Phase Transition of Vortex Matter in MgB2
M. Angst, R. Puzniak, A. Wisniewski +3
Measurements of single crystalline MgB2 with torque magnetometry in fields up to 90 kOe reveal a sharp peak in the irreversible torque at about 0.85 Hc2. In the region between peak…
