Thermodynamic origin of the peak effect in the superconductor Nb3Sn
R. Lortz, N. Musolino, Y. Wang +2
We report a pronounced peak effect in the magnetization and the magnetocaloric coefficient in a single crystal of the superconductor Nb3Sn. As the origin of the magnetization peak…
Thermal fluctuations and vortex melting in the classical superconductor Nb3Sn from high-resolution specific-heat measurements
R. Lortz, F. Lin, N. Musolino +4
The range of critical thermal fluctuations in classical bulk superconductors is extremely small and especially in low fields hardly experimentally inaccessible. With a new type of…
On the Origin of the Double Superconducting Transition in Overdoped YBa2Cu3Ox
R. Lortz, T. Tomita, Y. Wang +4
The superconducting transition in a single overdoped, detwinned YBa2Cu3Ox (YBCO) crystal is studied using four different probes. Whereas the AC and DC magnetic susceptibilities fin…
Evolution of the specific-heat anomaly of the high-temperature superconductor YBa2Cu3O7 under influence of doping through application of pressure up to 10 GPa
Rolf Lortz, Alain Junod, Didier Jaccard +4
The evolution of the specific-heat anomaly in the overdoped range of a single crystal of the high-temperature superconductor YBa2Cu3O7 has been studied under influence of pressure…
Modulated-bath AC calorimetry using modified commercial Peltier-elements
Rolf Lortz, Satoko Abe, Yuxing Wang +3
We developed a new type of AC microcalorimeter based on a modulated-bath technique for measuring the specific heat of small microgram samples in the temperature range from 30-300 K…
Specific heat, magnetic susceptibility, resistivity and thermal expansion of the superconductor ZrB12
R. Lortz, Y. Wang, S. Abe +4
In an attempt to clarify conflicting published data, we report new measurements of specific heat, resistivity, magnetic susceptibility, and thermal expansivity up to room temperatu…
