摘要:

通过对巴西某矿高度有序的天然石墨样品电阻的高精度测量,确定了$\sim$在350 K处的一个相变,其相变宽度为$\sim$ 40 K。电阻温度的阶跃变化,磁场变化后的磁不可逆性和时间依赖性,与俘获磁通和磁通蠕变一致,以及磁化测量得到的部分磁通量排出,表明在350 K以下存在颗粒超导性。只有从转变上方对样品进行零场冷却后,才能再次达到零场原始状态。奇怪的是,我们在这个和其他几个石墨样品中发现的异常高的转变温度是这种转变至今未被检测到的原因。X射线衍射测量结果表明,在所有样品中均存在有序的菱面体石墨相,这表明其与Bernal相的界面可能是高温超导的起源,正如理论研究所预测的那样。在这些二维界面的颗粒超导性的本地化,防止观察到零电阻状态或一个完整的迈斯纳状态。

英文摘要:

Measuring with high precision the electrical resistance of highly ordered natural graphite samples from a Brazil mine, we have identified a transition at $\sim$350~K with $\sim$40~K transition width. The step-like change in temperature of the resistance, its magnetic irreversibility and time dependence after a field change, consistent with trapped flux and flux creep, and the partial magnetic flux expulsion obtained by magnetization measurements, suggest the existence of granular superconductivity below 350~K. The zero-field virgin state can only be reached again after zero field cooling the sample from above the transition. Paradoxically, the extraordinarily high transition temperature we found for this and several other graphite samples is the reason why this transition remained undetected so far. The existence of well ordered rhombohedral graphite phase in all measured samples has been proved by x-rays diffraction measurements, suggesting its interfaces with the Bernal phase as a possible origin for the high-temperature superconductivity, as theoretical studies predicted. The localization of granular superconductivity at these two dimensional interfaces prevents the observation of a zero resistance state or of a full Meissner state.
