We present and discuss the results of measurements of the ab-plane resistivity of La_{2-x}Sr_{x}CuO_{4} single crystals with small Sr contents (x=0.052-0.075). The resistivity was obtained in the temperature range between 4.2 K and 300 K by…
We have studied a three-unit-cell-thick YBa2Cu3O7-x (YBCO) superconducting film grown on a slightly vicinal SrTiO3 substrate that was polished from the (001) plane by a small miscut angle (less than 0.5 degrees). This produced, on its…
We have investigated uniaxial pressure effect on superconductivity of pure Sr2RuO4, whose intrinsic superconducting transition temperature Tc is 1.5 K. It was revealed that a very low uniaxial pressure along the c axis, only 0.2 GPa,…
