Two-zone annealing of Tl0.5Pb0.5(Sr0.8Ba0.2)2Ca2Cu3Oy
Stable conditions have been identified for two-zone processing of the superconducting thallium cuprate Tl0.5Pb0.5(Sr0.8Ba0.2)2Ca2Cu3Oy. With P(O2) of 0.8 atm, P(Tl2O) of 4.4 × 10−3 atm, and a sample temperature o...

Magnetic Properties of Nanosize Iron Clusters
Isolated, monodisperse α-Fe clusters between 1.4 and 15 nm in diameter were prepared inside inverse micelles using an oil-continuous, nonaqueous system. The magnetic properties of these clusters were studied i...

Stability of the Tl-1223 phases
The thermodynamic stability of TlBa2Ca2Cu3O9–y (1223) and substitutionally related phases has been studied by performing extended high-temperature anneals in a two-zone furnace. This approach allows for independe...

A new hybrid two-zone/crucible furnace process for the growth of epitaxial Tl2Ba2CaCu2O8 superconducting films
Epitaxial Tl2Ba2CaCu2O8 (Tl-2212) films ∼5500 Å thick are grown on LaAlO3(100) substrates using a new hybrid two-zone/crucible furnace process enabling precise control of thallination. This method combines the be...

Microscopic Study of Metal Hydrides Using Electron Spin Resonance
Electron spin resonance (ESR) of dilute paramagnetic ions in nonmagnetic metallic hydrides provides microscopic information about the hydrogen ions in the immediate vicinity of the impurity. By comparing ESR s...
