Transport properties of Nb/yttria-stabilized-zirconia/Nb Josephson junctions

TL;DR: In this paper, a superconductor-normal metal-superconductor junction has been fabricated and the currentvoltage characteristics at temperatures from 4.2 K to values close to the Nb critical temperature of 8.0 K have been studied.

Chemical activity in YBa2Cu3O7 − δ across the normal to superconducting phase transition

TL;DR: The Gibbs free enthalpy, chemical activity across the transition temperature to superconductivity, Tc in YBa2Cu3O7−−δ is obtained from reciprocally enhanced X-Ray absorbance, XAS and diffraction, XRD data near the Ba L3,2 edges' energy Ea, and orientations in the X-ray beam for preferred Miller indexed [HKL] planes' scattering, that are enhanced near Tc as discussed by the authors.

Determinations of upper critical field in continuous Ginzburg-Landau model

TL;DR: In this article, a continuous Ginzburg-Landau model was proposed to determine the upper critical field (B_{c2}$ using the smallest eigenvalue of an appropriate eigen equation.
