The Search for Higher in Houston
C. W. Chu
It is a great pleasure to be invited to join the chorus on this auspicious occasion to celebrate Professor K. Alex Mueller's 90th birthday by Professors Annette Bussman-Holder, Hug…
Chemical doping and high pressure studies of layered beta-PdBi2 single crystals
Kui Zhao, Bing Lv, Yu-Yi Xue +4
We have systematically grown large single crystals of layered compound beta-PdBi2, both the hole-doped PdBi2-xPbx and the electron-doped NaxPdBi2, and studied their magnetic and tr…
Superconductivity in the Mn5Si3-type Zr5Sb3 system
B. Lv, X. Y. Zhu, B. Lorenz +5
We report the discovery of superconductivity at 2.3 K in Zr5Sb3, the first superconducting member in the large compound family of the Mn5Si3-structure type. Transport, magnetic, an…
Incommensurate spin-density wave and multiband superconductivity in NaFeAs as revealed by nuclear magnetic resonance
M. Klanjsek, P. Jeglic, B. Lv +3
We report a Na and As nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) investigation of NaFeAs series (, 0.9, 0.8) exhibiting a spin-density wave (SDW) order below $T_{\rm…
Evidence for multiple gaps in specific heat of LiFeAs crystals
F. Wei, F. Chen, K. Sasmal +5
The zero-field specific heat of LiFeAs was measured on several single crystals selected from a bulk sample. A sharp Delta Cp/Tc anomaly of approximately 20 mJ/(mole x K^2) was obse…
High Pressure Studies on Fe-Pnictide Superconductors
C. W. Chu, B. Lorenz
A review of high-pressure studies on Fe-pnictide superconductors is given. The pressure effects on the magnetic and superconducting transitions are discussed for different classes…
The Synthesis and Characterization of LiFeAs and NaFeAs
C. W. Chu, F. Chen, M. Gooch +7
The newest homologous series of superconducting As-pnictides, LiFeAs (Li111) and NaFeAs (Na111) have been synthesized and investigated. Both crystallize with the layered tetragonal…
High Pressure Effects on Superconductivity
B. Lorenz, C. W. Chu
The review is devoted to a discussion of the effects of high pressure imposed on superconducting materials. Low-temperature superconductors, high-temperature superconducting cuprat…
Vortex avalanches and self organized criticality in superconducting niobium
E. Altshuler, T. H. Johansen, Y. Paltiel +6
In 1993 Tang proposed [1] that vortex avalanches should produce a self organized critical state in superconductors, but conclusive evidence for this has heretofore been lacking. In…
Pressure Effect on the Superconducting and Magnetic Transitions of the Superconducting Ferromagnet RuSr2GdCu2O8
B. Lorenz, R. L. Meng, Y. Y. Xue +1
The superconducting ferromagnet RuSr2GdCu2O8 was investigated at high pressure. The intra-grain superconducting transition temperature, Tc, is resolved in ac-susceptibility as well…
Unusual Field-Dependence of the Intragrain Superconductive Transition in RuSr2EuCu2O8
B. Lorenz, Y. Y. Xue, R. L. Meng +1
A narrow intragrain phase-lock transition was observed in RuSr2EuCu2O8 under a magnetic field H up to a few Tesla. The corresponding transition temperature, T2, decreases rapidly (…
High Pressure Study on MgB2
B. Lorenz, R. L. Meng, C. W. Chu
The hydrostatic pressure effect on the newly discovered superconductor MgB2 has been determined. The transition temperature Tc was found to decrease linearly at a large rate of -1.…
Superconductivity in Ferromagnetic RuSr_2GdCu_2O_8
Jian-Xin Zhu, C. S. Ting, C. W. Chu
The phase diagram of temperature versus exchange field is obtained within a BCS model for d-wave superconductivity in CuO_2 layers which is coupled to ferromagnetic RuO_2 layers in…
