Re-appearance of antiferromagnetic ordering with Zn and Ni substitution in La_{2-x}Sr_xCuO_4
The effects of nonmagnetic Zn and magnetic Ni substitution for Cu site on
magnetism are studied by measurements of uniform magnetic susceptibility for
lightly doped La_{2-x}Sr_xCu_{1-z}M_zO_4 (M=Zn or Ni) polycrystalline samples.
For the parent x=0, Zn doping suppresses the N\'{e}el temperature T_N whereas
Ni doping hardly changes T_N up to z=0.3. For the lightly doped samples with
T_N~0, the Ni doping recovers T_N. For the superconducting samples, the Ni
doping induces the superconductivity-to-antiferromagnetic transition (or
crossover). All the heavily Ni doped samples indicate a spin glass behavior at
\~15 K.Comment: 2 pages including 3 figures, to be published in Physica C (LT23,

Anisotropic Superconducting Properties of MgB2 Single Crystals
In-plane electrical transport properties of MgB2 single crystals grown under
high pressure of 4-6 GPa and temperature of 1400-1700oC in Mg-B-N system have
been measured. For all specimens we found sharp superconducting transition
around 38.1-38.3K with transition width within 0.2-0.3K. Estimated resistivity
value at 40K is about 1 mkOhmcm and resistivity ratio R(273K)/R(40K) of about
4.9. Results of measurements in magnetic field up to 5.5T perpendicular to Mg
and B planes and up to 9T in parallel orientation show temperature dependent
anisotropy of the upper critical field with anisotropy ratio increasing from
2.2 close to Tc up to about 3 below 30K. Strong deviation of the angular
dependence of Hc2 from anisotropic mass model has been also found.Comment: 10pages, including 5 figures,submitted to Physica C (in press

Nonlinear microwave switching response of BSCCO single crystals
Measurements of the surface impedance in Bi{sub 2}Sr{sub 2}CaCu{sub 2}O{sub 8+{delta}} single crystal with microwave currents flowing along the {cflx c} axis show clear evidence of a step-like nonlinearity. The surface resistance switches between apparently quantized levels for microwave field strength changes < 1 mG. This nonlinear response can arise from the presence of intrinsic Josephson junctions along the {cflx c} axis of these samples driven by the microwave current
Cu Nuclear Quadrupole Resonance Study of Site-Disorder and Chemical Pressure Effects on Y(Ba1-xSrx)2Cu4O8
We report a zero-field Cu nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) study on the
effects of nonmagnetic Sr substitution for high-Tc superconductors,
Y(Ba1-xSrx)2Cu4O8 (Tc=82-80 K for x=0-0.4), using a spin-echo technique. The
site-disordering and chemical pressure effects associated with doping Sr were
observed in the broadened, shifted Cu NQR spectra. Nevertheless, the site
disorder did not significantly affect the homogeneity of Cu electron spin
dynamics, in contrast to the in-plane impurity. The peak shift of Cu NQR
spectrum due to Sr was different between the chain- and the plane-Cu sites,
more remarkably than those under a hydrostatic physical pressure, suggesting
anisotropic or nonuniform local structural strains. The small decrease of Tc
due to Sr can be traced back to either a cancellation effect on Tc between the
disorder and the pressure, or an anisotropic or nonuniform chemical pressure
effect on Tc.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figure
Ni-substituted sites and the effect on Cu electron spin dynamics of YBa2Cu{3-x}NixO{7-\delta}
We report Cu nuclear quadrupole resonance experiment on magnetic impurity
Ni-substituted YBaCuNiO. The distribution of
Ni-substituted sites and its effect on the Cu electron spin dynamics are
investigated. Two samples with the same Ni concentration =0.10 and nearly
the same oxygen content but different 's were prepared: One is an
as-synthesized sample (7-=6.93) in air (), and the
other is a quenched one (7-=6.92) in a reduced oxygen atmosphere
(). The plane-site Cu(2) nuclear spin-lattice
relaxation for the quenched sample was faster than that for the as-synthesized
sample, in contrast to the Cu(1) relaxation that was faster for the
as-synthesized sample. This indicates that the density of plane-site Ni(2) is
higher in the quenched sample, contrary to the chain-site Ni(1) density which
is lower in the quenched sample. From the analysis in terms of the Ni-induced
nuclear spin-lattice relaxation, we suggest that the primary origin of
suppression of is associated with nonmagnetic depairing effect of the
plane-site Ni(2).Comment: 7 pages, 5 figure
Resonant Spin Excitation in an Overdoped High Temperature Superconductor
An inelastic neutron scattering study of overdoped Bi_2Sr_2CaCu_2O_{8+\delta}
$ (T_c = 83 K) has revealed a resonant spin excitation in the superconducting
state. The mode energy is E_res=38 meV, significantly lower than in optimally
doped Bi_2Sr_2CaCu_2O_{8+\delta} (T_c = 91 K, E_ res =43 meV). This
observation, which indicates a constant ratio E_res /k_B T_c \sim 5.4, helps
resolve a long-standing controversy about the origin of the resonant spin
excitation in high-temperature superconductors.Comment: final version: PRL 86, 1610 (2001
