Journal ArticleDOI
Precision measurements of the temperature dependence of lambda in YBa2Cu3O6.95: Strong evidence for nodes in the gap function.
TL;DR: The strong linear dependence is believed to be characteristic of the pure system and that its apparent absence in thin films and some crystals is due to the presence of defects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of the influence of Ni and Zn impurities on the electromagnetic properties of YBa2Cu3O6.95.
TL;DR: Systematic studies of the influence of Zn and Ni impurities on the surface impedance indicate that these properties are very sensitive to defects and this sensitivity provides further insight into the pairing state.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microwave determination of the quasiparticle scattering time in YBa2Cu3O6.95.
D. A. Bonn,Ruixing Liang,T. M. Riseman,D. J. Baar,D. C. Morgan,Kuan Zhang,Pinder Dosanjh,Tim Duty,A. MacFarlane,G. D. Morris,J. H. Brewer,Walter Hardy,Catherine Kallin,A. J. Berlinsky +13 more
TL;DR: Microwave surface resistance measurements on two very-high-quality YBa2Cu3O6.95 crystals are reported, inferring that λ2(0)/λ2(T) is well approximated by the simple function 1-t2, and that the low-temperature data are incompatible with the existence of an s-wave, BCS-like gap.
Journal ArticleDOI
Measurement of the ab plane anisotropy of microwave surface impedance of untwinned YBa2Cu3O6.95 single crystals.
Kuan Zhang,D. A. Bonn,S. Kamal,Ruixing Liang,D. J. Baar,Walter Hardy,Dimitri Basov,Thomas Timusk +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that the residual conductivities of these twin-free crystals are very small, implying a residual conductivity of the order of the minimum value predicted by Lee Phys. Rev. Lett. 71 1837 1993 for a $d$-wave superconductor.
Journal ArticleDOI
The microwave surface impedance of YBa2Cu3O7 − δ
TL;DR: In this article, a complete set of measurements of the anisotropic penetration depth of YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7 − δ is presented, showing that the qualitative behavior of the superfluid density is the same in both the T c = 60 K and 93 K phases of this material.
