  • We have investigated the influence of columnar defects (CD) on the vortex dynamics in pristine and iodine-intercalated Bi$_2$Sr$_2$CaCu$_2$O$_{8+{\delta}} single crystals from do SQUID magnetization measurements. Especially, the temperature dependence of the irreversibility fields, H$_{irr}$(T), were studied. Anisotropy ratio ${\gamma}$, estimated from the fitting to the 2-dimensional melting model (A. Schilling et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 71 1899 (1993)) in higher fields than the matching field B$_{\phi}$ at low temperature region, turns out to be decreased by the iodine-intercalation and additionally by the heavy-ion irradiation.

  • For an inhomogeneous superconductor, we reveal a relation of an observed superconducting gap, $\Delta$$_{obs}$ and the intrinsic true gap, $\Delta$$_{i}$, $\Delta$$_{obs}$(equation omitted) where band filling, 0<$\rho$<$\leq$1. $\Delta$$_{obs}$ is the effect of measurement when 0<$\rho$<1. The true gap is observed only when $\rho$=1.

  • The magnetization and/or resistivity of high $T_c$ superconductors ($YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-\delta}$(YBCO) single crystal, $Bi_2Sr_2CaCu_2O_8$ (Bi-2212) single crystal, $Tl_2Ba_2CaCu_2O_8$ (Tl-2212) film, $HgBa_2Ca_2Cu_3O_8$ (Hg-1223) film) have been measured as a function of magnetic field H and temperature T. The extracted fluctuation part of the magnetization and conductivity exhibits a critical behavior consistent with the three-dimensional XY model. The dynamic critical exponent z does not sensitively vary with a type of the superconductors. The value of z ranges from 1.5 to $1.8{\pm}0.1$. However, the static critical exponent ${\nu}$ is the most largely increased in Tl-2212 that has a weaker interlayer coupling strength than YBCO; the value of ${\nu}$ is 0.669, 0.909, 1.19, and 1.338 for YBCO, Bi-2212, Hg-1223, and Tl-2212 respectively. The results indicate that the weak interlayer coupling along the c-axis of high $T_c$ superconductors near $T_c$ does not influence the dynamic critical exponent z (the same value of superfluid $^4He$), but significantly increases the static critical exponent ${\nu}$.

  • The microstructures of a Tl$_{0.8}Pb_{0.2}Bi_{0.2}Sr_{1.6}Ca_2Cu_3O_{9+{\delta}}$/Ag tape (tape I ) with J$_c$ of 17,600 A/cm$^2$ at 77 K and 0 T and three Tl$_{0.8}Pb_{0.2}Bi_{0.2}Sr_{1.8}Ba_{0.2}Ca_{2.2}Cu_3O_{9+{\delta}}$/Ag tapes with J$_c$'s of 9,300 (tape II), 16,700 (tape III) and 25,200 A/cm$^2$ (tape IV)prepared using the powder-in-tube method and an in-situ reaction method, were investigated using scanning electron microscopy and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, and compared each other. ln the tape preparation, an intermediate rolling process was incorporated during final heat-treatment for the last tape, but not for the rest of the tapes. The microstructural analysis revealed clear differences in grain-texturing, crystallographic defects and impurity phases, depending on the chemical composition of the tape. Tendency of directional grain-alignment increased in an order of tapes I, II III and IV. In tape IV, T1-1223 grains are textured, at least in local regions. In crystallographic defects, while stacking faults were prevalent in the former composition, dislocations and voids were frequently observed in the latter. Also impurity phases were appeared to be more abundant in the former than in the latter. The relationship between 1,and the microstructure in the tapes was attempted to explain in a term of grain-linking.

  • We report on the Josephson vortex dynamics in $Bi_2Sr_2CaCuO_{8+\delta}$ natural Josephson junctions by c-axis tunneling measurements. Beside the quasiparticle branches in the current-voltage characteristics, a new set of multiple branches, referred to as Josephson-vortex-flow branches (JVFBs), are observed. The JVFBs emerge in an in-plane magnetic field above $H_0\;=\;{\Phi}_0/{\gamma}s^2$ and show highly hysteretic behavior, which can be explained in terms of the recently proposed dynamic-phase-separation model. In this work we examined the effect on the JVFBs by the presence of pancake vortices generated as the external magnetic field was applied slightly tilted from the in-plane direction. JVFBs were found to become larger and prominent with increasing pancake vortex density as the tilt angle increased, which were presumably caused by slowing down of a Josephson vortex lattice in the presence of pancake vortices.
