We describe a simple AC susceptometer built in-house that can be used to make high-resolution measurements of the magnetic susceptibility of high-temperature superconductors in an undergraduate physics lab. Our system, cooled using liquid…

The AC susceptibility at zero DC magnetic field of a polycrystalline sample of LaFeAsO_{0.94}F_{0.06} (T_c = 24 K) has been investigated as a function of the temperature, the amplitude of the AC magnetic field (in the range Hac = 0.003 - 4…

The magneto-conductance in YBCO grain boundary Josephson junctions, displays fluctuations at low temperatures of mesoscopic origin. The morphology of the junction suggests that transport occurs in narrow channels across the grain boundary…

We propose an analytical model devoted to explain the anisotropy of the electrical resistance observed below the critical temperature in granular high-Tc superconductors submitted to a magnetic field H. Reported experimental results…

The change of the Josephson supercurrent density of a weakly-connected granular superconductor in response to externally applied arbitrary thermal gradient dT/dx (nonlinear Seebeck effect) is considered within a model of 3D Josephson…

Recent measurements of the Josephson critical current through LSCO/LCO/LSCO thin films showed an unusually large proximity effect. Using the Bogoliubov-de Gennes (BdG) equations for a tight binding Hamiltonian we describe the proximity…

Current-voltage characteristics of Au~/~YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{7-\delta}$ interfaces (Au/YBCO), built on optimally-doped YBCO thin films, grown by pulsed laser deposition, were measured as a function of temperature in the 50 K to 270 K range, for…

A bulk polycrystalline sample of YBa_{2}Cu_{3}O_{7-\delta} (\delta \approx 0.1) has been irradiated by \gamma-rays with ^{60}Co source. Non-monotonic behavior of T_c (defined as the temperature at which normal resistance is halved) with…

In this work we investigate the effect of each different heat treatment stage in the fabrication of Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+d superconducting wires on intra-grain and inter-grain superconducting properties. We measure magnetic critical temperature Tc…

The optical properties of single crystals of YBa_2Cu_3O_{6+x} have been examined along the c axis above and below the critical temperature (T_c) for a wide range of oxygen dopings. The temperature dependence of the optically-determined…

The oxygen deficiency $\delta$ in YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{7-\delta}$ (YBCO) plays a crucial role for affecting high-temperature superconductivity. We applied (coincident) Doppler broadening spectroscopy of the electron-positron annihilation line…

The effect of disorder is investigated in granular superconductive materials with strong and weak links. The transition is controlled by the interplay of the \emph{tunneling} $g$ and \emph{intragrain} $g_{intr}$ conductances, which depend…

By applying a highly sensitive homemade AC susceptibility technique to Pr_{x}Y_{1-x}Ba_2Cu_3O_7 polycrystals (with x=0.0, 0.1 and 0.3), we observed very sharp Fraunhofer type low-field periodic oscillations of the real part of the AC…
