In complex transition metal oxides (TMO) an arrested electronic phase separation (PS) appears by tuning the system near a Lifshitz transition in multiband Hubbard models. The PS in La2CuO4+y near insulator to metal transition (IMT) is made…
High-purity and homogeneous YBa2Cu3Oy single crystals with carrier doping level near the AFM-SC boundary have been obtained in the oxygen content range between y = 6.340 and 6.370. The crystals are ortho-II phase at room temperature and…
We report a temperature-dependent increase below 300 K of diffuse superlattice peaks corresponding to q_0 =(~2/5,0,0) in an under-doped YBa_2Cu_3O_6+x superconductor (x~0.63). These peaks reveal strong c-axis correlations involving the…
Here we report a structural phase transition and its possible competition with superconductivity in the suboxide La$_5$Pb$_3$O. Upon cooling through $T_t$ = 225 K, La$_5$Pb$_3$O transforms from a high-temperature I4/mcm to a low-temperature…
The zero temperature in plane penetration depth in an untwinned single crystal of optimally doped YBa_2Cu_3O_6.93 is highly anisotropic. This fact has been interpreted as evidence that a large amount of the condensate resides in the chains.…
We report the results of our investigations on a polycrystalline sample of Lu$_2$Ir$_3$Si$_5$ which crystallizes in the U$_2$Co$_3$Si$_5$ type structure (Ibam). These investigations comprise powder X-ray diffraction, magnetic…
We report on the structural and superconducting properties of the intermetallic compound BaGaGe. We find that this material undergoes a structural second-order phase transition from the distorted AlB$_2$-type structure (1H, $a$ = 4.3254(2)…
$YBaCuO-Ag$ pressure point contacts with direct conduction are investigated. The excess (relative to the normal state) conductivity mainly caused by fluctuational pairing of electrons above $T_c$ is measured in the temperature interval…
YBa2Cu3O7 high temperature superconductor samples were weighed on an electronic balance during a warming cycle beginning at 77 degrees K. The experiment was configured so that the YBa2Cu3O7 material was weighed along with a magnet, a target…
We present a study of the superconducting energy gap performed with point contact spectroscopy in a single crystal of the superconductor Zr0:97V0:03B2. We determined the size and evolution with temperature of the energy gap, the transition…
The point-contact spectra of tetragonal $\rm YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-\delta}$ with $T_c=50-60~K$ are studied at various temperatures. The single-electron energy ($2\Delta_0/kT_c\simeq 17$) and its temperature dependence are determined. The…
This work examines the oxygenation process of polycrystalline powder of YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{6+\delta}$ superconductor material through constant temperature thermogravimetric analysis. Starting from completely deoxygenated samples ($\delta$ =…
Two series of alpha and beta-NaxCoO2 materials have been prepared by means of Na deintercalation from the parent alpha-NaCoO2 and beta-Na0.6CoO2 phases, respectively. The alpha-NaxCoO2 materials undergo a…
Significant progress has been made in the development of superconducting quantum circuits, however new quantum devices that have longer decoherence times at higher temperatures are urgently required for quantum technologies. Superconducting…
Samples of YBa2-xSrxCu3O7-d (x = 0.0, 0.50, 1.0) series were synthesized by solid-state reaction and first annealed in flowing O2 gas. All samples crystallized in orthorhombic structure, where orthorhombic distortion was found to decrease…
The superconductor YB6 has the second highest critical temperature Tc among the boride family MBn. We report measurements of the specific heat, resistivity, magnetic susceptibility and thermal expansion from 2 to 300 K, using a single…
We have studied the evolution, with hydrostatic pressure, of the recently discovered superconductivity in the graphite intercalation compounds C$_6$Yb and C$_6$Ca. We present pressure-temperature phase diagrams, for both superconductors,…
We used low-temperature synchrotron x-ray diffraction to investigate the structural phase transitions of Fe1+yTe in the vicinity of a tricitical point in the phase diagram. Detailed analysis of the powder diffraction patterns and…
We have recently proposed a theoretical model for superconductors endowed with two distinct superconducting phases, described by two scalar order parameters which condensate at different critical temperatures. On analyzing the magnetic…
The results of electrical resistance (1.4 - 300 K), magnetization (2-300 K) and heat-capacity (2 - 50 K) measurements in Y$_2$PdGe$_3$, found to crystallize in a AlB$_2$-derived hexagonalstructure, are reported. The results establish that…
