- We present small-Angle neutron scattering studies of the magnetic vortex lattice (VL) in Ca0.04Y0.96Ba2Cu3O7 up to a field of 16.7 T and Ca0.15Y0.85Ba2Cu3O7 up to 25 T to investigate the general behavior of the superconducting gap in YBCO-based compounds at high magnetic field. We find in these overdoped compounds that the series of VL structure transitions have shifted down in field relative to those reported for the undoped compound. The hole doping by calcium is expected to alter the Fermi velocity and it reduces the upper critical field of the system. However, we attribute the VL changes mainly to the weakening of the 1D superconductivity in the Cu-O chains by the disorder introduced by doping. The high-field structure of the VL is similar to recent measurements on the parent compound in even higher fields of 25 T, which indicates that the fundamental d-wave nature of the superconducting gap is unchanged by calcium doping. This is corroborated by the temperature dependence of the VL form factor, which also shows the same d-wave behavior as observed in other cuprates. We also argue that they might be the explanation of Pauli paramagnetic effects in the field dependence of the VL form factor.

Deviations from the extended London model at high magnetic fields in YBa2Cu3 O7

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- We report on the evolution with the magnetic field and the temperature of the vortex lattice (VL) in fully oxygenated YBa2Cu3O7 as studied by time-of-flight small-angle neutron scattering. Using the High Field Magnet/Extreme Environment Diractometer beamline at Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin, we have obtained data up to 25.9 T - much higher than data available previously. Our VL structure results are consistent with the progressive suppression by the field of the superconductivity along the crystallographic b (CuO chain) direction and an accompanying shift of the nodal directions as the field is increased. The intensity of the diffracted signal reveals the spatial variation of magnetization caused by the VL (the "form factor"). Instead of a rapid falloff with the field, as seen in superconductors with smaller upper critical fields, we find that the form factor is almost constant with the field above ∼12 T. We speculate that this is due to Pauli paramagnetic effects.

- The selfconsistent high-density expansion for thermodynamic quantities of the quantum spin-polarized fermion lattice gas, derived in the preceding paper, is extended to higher orders. The (1/z)2terms in the free energy are evaluated by summing two-loop diagrams and the corresponding equation for critical temperature in the classical limit is discussed. Ground state phase diagram of the system for arbitrary electron density is derived in the first and second order of the expansion. Properties of the half-filled, one-dimensional spinless fermion model at T = 0, obtained here in the first three orders in 1/z, are compared with the results of exact calculations and of other approximate methods. This provides a test for the unrenormalized high-density expansion method.

- The objective of this research is to determine the strengths of correlation, and their variation with scale, between friction coefficients and topographic characterization parameters, calculated using statistical representations of multiscale areal curvatures. The surfaces are created by milling and manual polishing. Coefficients of friction were measured during bending under tension tests. Surfaces were measured with a white light interferometer. Curvature tensors were calculated using a normal based method adapted for multiscale analysis. Three different regions were analyzed from each of eight samples. Curvature tensor parameters: principal, mean, and Gaussian curvatures were calculated for scales between 0.78 and 47.08 μm. These statistical measures of the curvatures were regressed against the coefficient of friction. Three different analyses were performed, taking into account entire curvature distributions, only negative or positive values and curvatures of top heights. Strong correlations (R2 > 0.85 for many and as large as 0.96) were found for the standard deviations for all four curvature measures when entire distributions were considered. These results suggest that the frictional responses of surfaces could be related to the variance of their topographic curvatures. Average curvature parameters correlate strongly with coefficients of friction for negative values. Curvatures calculated from top regions present strong correlations for both mean and standard deviation of maximal, mean and Gaussian curvatures. This supports the use of multiscale curvature tensor methods for characterizing interactions between surface topography and tribological performance.

- This work studies multiscale analyses and characterizations of surface topographies from the engineering and scientific literature with an emphasis on production engineering research and design. It highlights methods that provide strong correlations between topographies and performance or topographies and processes, and methods that can confidently discriminate topographies that were processed or that perform differently. These methods have commonalities in geometric characterizations at certain scales, which are observable with statistics and measurements. It also develops a semantic and theoretical framework and proposes a new system for organizing and designating multiscale analyses. Finally, future possibilities for multiscale analyses are discussed.

Pauling Entropy, Metastability, and Equilibrium in Dy2Ti2O7 Spin Ice

- Determining the fate of the Pauling entropy in the classical spin ice material Dy2Ti2O7 with respect to the third law of thermodynamics has become an important test case for understanding the existence and stability of ice-rule states in general. The standard model of spin ice-the dipolar spin ice model-predicts an ordering transition at T approximate to 0.15 K, but recent experiments by Pomaranski et al. suggest an entropy recovery over long timescales at temperatures as high as 0.5 K, much too high to be compatible with the theory. Using neutron scattering and specific heat measurements at low temperatures and with long timescales ( 0.35 K/10(6) s and 0.5 K/10(5) s, respectively) on several isotopically enriched samples, we find no evidence of a reduction of ice-rule correlations or spin entropy. High-resolution simulations of the neutron structure factor show that the spin correlations remain well described by the dipolar spin ice model at all temperatures. Furthermore, by careful consideration of hyperfine contributions, we conclude that the original entropy measurements of Ramirez et al. are, after all, essentially correct: The short-time relaxation method used in that study gives a reasonably accurate estimate of the equilibrium spin ice entropy due to a cancellation of contributions.

In situ uniaxial pressure cell for x-ray and neutron scattering experiments

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- We present an in situ uniaxial pressure device optimized for small angle x-ray and neutron scattering experiments at low-temperatures and high magnetic fields. A stepper motor generates force, which is transmitted to the sample via a rod with an integrated transducer that continuously monitors the force. The device has been designed to generate forces up to 200 N in both compressive and tensile configurations, and a feedback control allows operating the system in a continuous-pressure mode as the temperature is changed. The uniaxial pressure device can be used for various instruments and multiple cryostats through simple and exchangeable adapters. It is compatible with multiple sample holders, which can be easily changed depending on the sample properties and the desired experiment and allow rapid sample changes.
