Experimental observation of two-dimensional fluctuation magnetization in the vicinity of T_c for low values of the magnetic field in deoxygenated YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-x}
We measured isofield magnetization curves as a function of temperature in two
single crystal of deoxygenated YBaCuO with T_c = 52 and 41.5 K. Isofield MvsT
were obtained for fields running from 0.05 to 4 kOe. The reversible region of
the magnetization curves was analyzed in terms of a scaling proposed by Prange,
but searching for the best exponent . The scaling analysis carried
out for each data sample set with =0.669, which corresponds to the
3D-xy exponent, did not produced a collapsing of curves when applied to MvsT
curves data obtained for the lowest fields. The resulting analysis for the Y123
crystal with T_c = 41.5 K, shows that lower field curves collapse over the
entire reversible region following the Prange's scaling with =1,
suggesting a two-dimensional behavior. It is shown that the same data obeying
the Prange's scaling with =1 for crystal with T_c = 41.5 K, as well
low field data for crystal with = 52 K, obey the known two-dimensional
scaling law obtained in the lowest-Landau-level approximation.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figure
A comparative study of high-field diamagnetic fluctuations in deoxygenated YBa2Cu3O(7-x) and polycrystalline (Bi-Pb)2Sr2Ca3O(10)
We studied three single crystals of YBa2Cu3O{7-x} with Tc= 62.5, 52, and 41
K, and a textured specimen of (Bi-Pb)2Sr2Ca2Cu3O10 with Tc=108 K, for H//c
axis. The reversible data were interpreted in terms of 2D lowest-Landau-level
fluctuation theory. The data were fit well by the 2D LLL expression for
magnetization obtained by Tesanovic etal., producing reasonable values of kappa
but larger values of dHc2/dT. Universality was studied by obtaining a
simultaneous scaling of Y123 data and Bi2223. An expression for the 2D x-axis
LLL scaling factor used to obtain the simultaneous scaling was extracted from
theory, and compared with the experimental values. The comparison between the
values of the x-axis produced a deviation of 40% which suggests that the
hypothesis of universality of the 2D-LLL fluctuations is not supported by the
studied samples. We finaly observe that Y123 magnetization data for
temperatures above obbey a universal scaling obtained for the diamagnetic
fluctuation magnetization from a theory considering non-local field effects.
The same scaling was not obbeyed by the corresponding magnetization calculated
from the two-dimensional lowest-Landau-level theory.Comment: 7 pages 5 figures, accept in Journ. Low Temp. Phy
The average kinetic energy density of Cooper pairs above in , , and
We have obtained isofield curves for the square root of the average kinetic
energy density of the superconducting state for three single crystals of
underdoped , an optimally doped single crystal of
, and Nb. These curves, determined from isofield
magnetization versus temperature measurements and the virial theorem of
superconductivity, probe the order parameter amplitude near the upper critical
field. The striking differences between the Nb and the high- curves
clearly indicate for the latter cases the presence of a unique superconducting
condensate below and above
