摘要:

研究了一系列La_(2-x)Sr_xCuO_(4 +y)过氧化样品的磁特性。如在以前的工作中所示,这些样品自发地相分离成富氧超导相,其TC接近40 K,并且贫氧磁性相也在40 K附近有序。研究的所有样品即使在低温下也是高度磁可逆的。虽然这些样品的内部磁性区域可能会作为钉扎位点,但我们目前的研究表明,它们并不有利于磁通钉扎。磁通钉扎需要缺陷和超导相干长度之间的匹配条件。因此,我们的结果意味着,磁区太大,作为钉扎中心。这也意味着在典型的La 2-xSrxCuO 4材料中更大的磁通钉扎是纳米级不均匀性的结果,该纳米级不均匀性在超氧化材料中生长成为大的磁性区域。从这个意义上说,相分离材料的超导区域比典型的铜酸盐超导体更干净、更均匀。

英文摘要:

We have studied the magnetic characteristics of a series of super-oxygenated La2-xSrxCuO4+y samples. As shown in previous work, these samples spontaneously phase separate into an oxygen rich superconducting phase with a TC near 40 K and an oxygen poor magnetic phase that also orders near 40 K. All samples studied are highly magnetically reversible even to low temperatures. Although the internal magnetic regions of these samples might be expected to act as pinning sites, our present study shows that they do not favor flux pinning. Flux pinning requires a matching condition between the defect and the superconducting coherence length. Thus, our results imply that the magnetic regions are too large to act as pinning centers. This also implies that the much greater flux pinning in typical La2-xSrxCuO4 materials is the result of nanoscale inhomogeneities that grow to become the large magnetic regions in the super-oxygenated materials. The superconducting regions of the phase separated materials are in that sense cleaner and more homogenous than in the typical cuprate superconductor.
