- 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
- 2022

Journal article (peer-reviewed)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.

High-Density Expansion for the Spinless Fermion Model II : Second and Third Order in 1/z
- 1988

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- 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.

Establishing functional correlations between multiscale areal curvatures and coefficients of friction for machined surfaces

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- 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.
