A study of temperature dependences of the upper critical field B_{c2}(T) and surface impedance Z(T)=R(T)+iX(T) in Ba_{1-x}K_xBiO_3 single crystals that have transition temperatures in the range 6 < T_c < 32 K (roughly 0.6>x>0.4) reveals a…

The superconducting transition in a single overdoped, detwinned YBa2Cu3Ox (YBCO) crystal is studied using four different probes. Whereas the AC and DC magnetic susceptibilities find a dominant transition at 88 K with a smaller effect near…

We suggest that the transition to superconductivity in a single crystal of Ba_{0.6}K_{0.4}BiO_3 with a T_c = 32K, and having critical fields with anomalous temperature dependencies and vanishing discontinuities in specific heat and magnetic…

Superconductivity of YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{7-\delta}$ single crystals was investigated in small magnetic fields. In magnetic measurements the superconducting transition for $\textbf{H} \| c$ appears 0.4 K higher than for $\textbf{H} \bot c$. In…

Microwave absorption measurements in magnetic fields from zero up to 16 T were used to determine the temperature range of superconducting fluctuations above the superconducting critical temperature T_c in YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-\delta}. Measurements…

The reflectance of high-quality, unpolished single crystals of YBa_2Cu_3O_{6+x}, for the doping range x=0.50 -> 0.95, has been measured with radiation polarized along the c axis from approx 50 cm^{-1} to 5000 cm^{-1} between 10 K and 300 K.…

We use spatially-resolved transport techniques to investigate the superconducting properties of single crystals La$_{2-x}$Ba$_x$CuO$_4$. We find a new superconducting transition temperature $T_{cs}$ associated with the ab-plane surface…

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…

Imaginary part of the microwave conductivity \sigma''(T<T_c) and the resistivity \rho(T)=1/\sigma(T>T_c) along (\sigma_{ab}'' and \rho_{ab}) and perpendicular to (\sigma_c'' and \rho_c) cuprate ab-planes of YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-x} crystal were…

We measure and analyze the resistivity of $Bi_2Sr_2CaCu_2O_{8+\delta}$ crystals for different doping $\delta$. We obtain the fraction of carrier $\eta(T,\delta) = n_g/n_{TOT}$ that do not participate to the c-axis conductivity. All the…

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 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 temperature dependence of upper critical field B_c2 was determined from the shift of resistive transition \Delta T(B) in nearly optimally doped Nd_{2-x}Ce_xCuO_{4-y} single crystals. Within the experimental accuracy, the weak-field data…

We successfully grew the high-quality single crystal of Rb$_{0.78}$Fe$_2$Se$_{1.78}$, which shows sharp superconducting transition in magnetic susceptibility and electrical resistivity. Resistivity measurements show the onset…

We have revealed new features in the out-of-plane resistivity rho_c of heavily underdoped RBa_2Cu_3O_{6+x} (R=Tm,Lu) single crystals, which give evidence for two distinct mechanisms contributing the c-axis transport. We have observed a…

The doping dependence of the themopower, in-plane resistivity rho_ab(T), out-of-plane resistivity rho_c(T), and susceptibility has been systematically measured for high-quality single crystal Bi2Sr2Ca2Cu3O10+delta. We found that the…

A scan of the superconductor -- nonsuperconductor transformation in single crystals YBa_2Cu_3O_{6+x} (x about 0.37) was done in two alternative ways, namely, by applying the magnetic field and by reducing the hole concentration through the…

The magnetization of three high-quality single crystals of YBa$_{2}$Cu$_{3}$O$_{6+x}$, from slightly overdoped to heavily underdoped,has been measured using torque magnetometry. Striking effects in the angular dependence of the torque for…
