The upper critical field in MgB2 is investigated in the framework of the two-gap Ginzburg-Landau theory. A variational solution of linearized Ginzburg-Landau equations agrees well with the Landau level expansion and demonstrates that…
We have grown RFe2Ge2 single crystals for R = Y and ten members of the lanthanide series (Pr, Nd, Sm, Gd-Tm, Lu) using Sn flux as the solvent. The method yields clean, high quality crystal plates as evidenced by residual resistivities and…
Magnesium diboride crystals were grown with low melting alloy flux. The sample with superconductivity at 38.3 K was prepared in the zinc-magnesium flux and another sample with superconductivity at 34.11 K was prepared in the…
We report measurements on single crystals of orthorhombic CeNiGe2, which is found to exhibit highly anisotropic magnetic and transport properties. The magnetization ratio M(H//b)/M(H^b) at 2 K is observed to be about 18 at 4 T and the…
Nematic superconductors are characterized by an apparent crystal symmetry breaking that results in the anisotropy of the in-plane upper critical magnetic field $H_{c2}$. The symmetry breaking is usually attributed to the strain of the…
We investigated the anisotropy of the magnetic and magnetocaloric properties of singlecrystalline double perovskite Tb2CoMnO6, which crystallizes in a monoclinic P21/n structure. Due to dissimilar magnetic anisotropy, the ferromagnetic…
We report the growth and properties of epitaxial MgB2 thin films on (0001) Al2O3 substrates. The MgB2 thin films were prepared by depositing boron films via RF magnetron sputtering, followed by a post-deposition anneal at 850C in magnesium…
The upper critical field and flux pinning in MgB2 single crystals were investigated. The implications of these properties for technical applications are discussed and compared with transport properties of polycrystalline bulk samples and…
Optimally-doped La1.85Sr0.15CuO4 single crystals have been investigated by dc and ac magnetic measurements. These crystals have rectangular needle-like shapes with the long needle axis parallel to the crystallographic c axis (c-crystal) or…
The radio frequency penetration depth was measured in the superconductor (Ba$_{0.55}$K$_{0.45}$)Fe$_{2}$As$_{2}$ under pulsed magnetic fields extending to 60 tesla and down to 14 K. Using these data we are able to infer a $H_{c2}(T)$, $H-T$…
We report resistivity measurements performed on KFe$_2$As$_2$ single crystals down to $T$ = 0.3 K and in magnetic fields up to 17.5 T. The in-plane resistivity vs. $T$ curve has a convex shape down to $\sim$50 K and shows a $T^2$ dependence…
This article reports the successful synthesis of single crystalline two-dimensional thin flakes of NbSe$_2$. The XRD pattern of the grown crystal ensured its crystallization in a single phase with a hexagonal structure. The EDAX endorsed…
The temperature dependence of magnetic anisotropy in (113)A (Ga,Mn)As layers grown by molecular beam epitaxy is studied by means of superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) magnetometry as well as by ferromagnetic resonance (FMR)…
Single crystals of Cu$_{13}$Ba were successfully grown out of Ba-Cu self flux. Temperature dependent magnetization, $M(T)$, electrical resistivity, $\rho(T)$, and specific heat, $C_p(T)$, data are reported. Isothermal magnetization…
The ab-plane thermal conductivity $\kappa$ of single-crystalline hexagonal MgB_2 has been measured as a function of magnetic field H with orientations both parallel and perpendicular to the c-axis and at temperatures between 0.5 and 300 K.…
Quasi-single crystals (up to 2x2x1 mm3) of Na0.35CoO2.1.3H2O-superconductor have been grown. Magnetization M(H, T) and M(T, H) curves with magnetic field approximately parallel and perpendicular to c-axis indicates on large anisotropy,…
Precise magnetic hysteresis measurements of small single crystals of Mn$_{12}$ acetate of spin 10 have been conducted down to 0.4 K using a high sensitivity Hall magnetometer. At higher temperature (>1.6K) step-like changes in magnetization…
Data on macroscopic superconducting anisotropy of MgB$_2$ are reviewed. The data are described within a weak coupling two-gaps anisotropic s-wave model of superconductivity. The calculated ratio of the upper critical fields…
We present reversible magnetization measurements on MgB2 single crystals in magnetic fields up to 2.5 T applied parallel to the crystal's c-axis. This magnetization is analyzed in terms of the Hao-Clem model, and various superconducting…
We report measurements of the temperature dependent anisotropies ($\gamma_\lambda$ and $\gamma_\xi$) of both the London penetration depth $\lambda$ and the upper critical field of MgB$_2$. Data for $\gamma_\lambda=\lambda_c/\lambda_a$ was…
