Inhomogeneity of charge-density-wave order and quenched disorder in a high-Tc superconductor

TL;DR: Micro X-ray diffraction imaging of the spatial distribution of both short-range charge- density-wave ‘puddles’ and quenched disorder in HgBa2CuO4 + y, the single-layer cuprate with the highest Tc, 95 kelvin found that the charge-density-wave puddles have a fat-tailed size distribution that is typical of self-organization near a critical point.
Journal ArticleDOI

Carbon substitution in MgB2 single crystals: Structural and superconducting properties

TL;DR: In this paper, the growth of carbon-substituted magnesium diboride is reported and the structural, transport, and magnetization data are presented, and the superconducting transition temperature decreases monotonically with increasing carbon content in the full investigated range of substitution.
Journal ArticleDOI

Type-1.5 superconductivity.

TL;DR: The existence of a novel superconducting state in high quality two-component MgB2 single crystalline superconductors where a unique combination of both type-1 and type-2 superconductor conditions is realized, which leads to a vortex-vortex interaction attractive at long distances and repulsive at short distances.
Journal ArticleDOI

Direct observation of spin-orbit coupling in iron-based superconductors

TL;DR: In this article, a systematic analysis of the principal members of the iron pnictide family of superconductors reveals a substantial spin-orbit splitting, which can induce a broad range of unusual physical properties, from topologically non-trivial insulating states to unconventional pairing.
Journal ArticleDOI

Single crystals of superconducting SmFeAsO1−xFy grown at high pressure

TL;DR: In this paper, single crystals of SmFeAsO1−xFy of a size up to 120 × 100 µm2 have been grown from NaCl/KCl flux at a pressure of 30 kbar and temperature of 1350-1450 °C using the cubic anvil high-pressure technique.
