Depression of superconductivity, heavy fermion behavior and valence fluctuations in Y1−xPrxBa2Cu3O7

TL;DR: The specific heat, magnetization, susceptibility and electrical resistivity of Y1-xPrxBa2Cu3O7 are presented in this paper, where the authors show that Pr depresses Tc and causes a transition from metallic to semiconducting behavior at x ∼ 0.6.
Journal ArticleDOI

d-Hole localization and the suppression of superconductivity in YBa2(Cu1-xZnx)3O7−y

TL;DR: In this article, the substitution of Zn for Cu in YBa2Cu3O7−ycffff withy∼0.16 for both the superconducting and nonsuperconducting samples was shown to cause a rapid and nearly linear depression of the transition temperature.
Journal ArticleDOI

Magnetic and thermodynamic properties of nonsuperconducting (Y,Pr)Ba2Cu3O6

TL;DR: In this article, the concentration and temperature dependence of the specific heat C(T) and the magnetic susceptibility have been measured on the tetragonal, nonsuperconducting phase of Y1−xPrxBa2Cu3O6.
Journal ArticleDOI

Preparation of YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7− x using barium hydroxide flux

TL;DR: In this article, high quality bulk YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7−x was synthesized by fusing stoichiometric amounts of yttrium and copper nitrates and barium hydroxide in air, using an ordinary Bunsen burner.
Journal ArticleDOI

(Y,Pr)Ba2Cu3O7: Evidence for AG pair breaking in a high Tc superconductor

TL;DR: In this paper, the superconducting transition temperature for rare earth substituted YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7 compounds is depressed with increasing x, following closely the dependence predicted by Abrikosov-Gor'kov's pair breaking theory.
