Improved Magnetization for YBa2Cu3O7-δ Annealed in Oxygen Above 1000°C
Air sintering and subsequent oxygen annealing at high temperatures are integral to the production of ceramic superconducting YBa2Cu3O7-δ. We present results directed toward optimizing the temperature for these tw...

Origin of Paramagnetic Defect in Single Crystal and Ceramic B4C
We compare electron spin resonance (ESR) spectra of B4C samples made by three methods. The samples are 1) two ceramics made by hot-pressing boron and carbon powders, 2) a polycrystal made by carbothermic reductio...

Bulk Ceramic and Screen Printed EuBa2Cu3O7-δ
The structural, magnetic and electrical properties of EuBa2Cu3O7-δ have been investigated both for bulk ceramics and screen printed thick films. The bulk ceramic reaches zero resistance at 92 K, and has large int...

Freestanding Films of YBa2cu3O6.9
Thick (20–300 /im) freestanding films of ceramic YBa2Cu3O0–9 have been obtained by resintering YBa2Cu3O0–9 powder in air after screen printing onto fused silica substrates. An interfacial reaction occurs between ...

Reoxygenation of vacuum-annealed YBa2Cu3O6.9
Vacuum-annealed samples of single-phase orthorhombic YBa2Cu3O6.9 have been reoxygenated. The vacuum-annealed material is tetragonal, semiconducting at room temperature, and shows no superconductivity. Upon anneal...

Variation of the pressure dependence of the superconducting transition temperature with x in La1−xSrx CuO4
Hydrostatic pressure measurements of the superconducting transition temperature were made as a function of x in La2−xSrx CuO4. A sharp change in the behavior occurs between x = 0.2 and 0.25 in that the pressure d...

Metallic Microwave Conductivity in Shock-Loaded Rutile
Electron spin resonance (ESR) has been used to characterize the paramagnetic defects present in both single crystal and powder rutile (TiO2) subjected to explosive shock loading and preserved for post-shock study...

Transmission Electron Microscopy of Shock-Modified and Annealed Rutile
The annealing behavior of shock modified rutile (TiO2) powder was studied by transmission electron microscopy, x-ray line broadening, and electron spin resonance. Specimens were examined in the as-received and as...
