Although the flux density map of a bulk superconductor provides in principle sufficient information for calculating the magnitude and the direction of the supercurrent flow, the inversion of the Biot-Savart law is ill conditioned for thick samples, thus rendering this method unsuitable for state of the art bulk superconductors. If a thin (< 1 mm) slab is cut from the bulk, the inversion is reasonably well conditioned and the variation of the critical current density in the sample can be calculated with adequate spatial resolution. Therefore a novel procedure is employed, which exploits the symmetry of the problem and solves the equations non-iteratively, assuming a planar z-independent current density. The calculated current density at a certain position is found to depend on the magnetic induction. In this way the average field dependence of the critical current density Jc(B) is obtained also at low fields, which is not accessible to magnetisation measurements due to the self-field of the sample. It is further shown that an evaluation of magnetisation loops, taking the self-field into account, results in a similar dependence in the field range accessible to this experiment.
Possible Nodeless Superconducting Gaps in Bi$_2$Sr$_2$CaCu$_2$O$_{8+δ}$ and YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{7-x}$ Revealed by Cross-Sectional Scanning Tunneling Spectroscopy
铜氧化物高温超导体中的配对及其起源仍然是凝聚态物理学中最持久的谜团之一。利用截面扫描隧道显微镜/光谱,我们清楚地揭示了BiPDMATHABMM Sr $_2$ CaCu $_2$ O $_{8+δ}$(Bi 2212)和YBaPDMATHABMM Cu $_3$ O $_{7-x}$(YBCO)超导能隙结构沿其$c$ -轴的空间依赖性或不均匀性,其尺度小于层间距.通过对Bi 2212单晶和YBCO薄膜的(100)面隧穿,我们在每个样品的不同区域都观察到了具有扩展的平坦零电导底部的U形隧穿谱和V形带隙结构。在YBCO薄膜上,隧穿到(110)面的带隙为U形,没有零偏压峰。我们的分析表明,U形间隙可能是一个无节点的超导间隙。V形间隙具有非常小的幅度,并且可能是由具有较大U形间隙的区域引起的接近。
