Characterization of high-temperature superconductors by AC susceptibility measurements

F Gömöry - Superconductor Science and Technology, 1997 - iopscience.iop.org
A magnetic field harmonically varying in time (to probe the sample) and a lock-in technique
(to register the sample response sensed by a pick-up coil) are widely used for characterizing …

Thermal expansion and specific heat of non-random YBCO/Ag composites

C Haetinger, IA Castillo, JV Kunzler… - Superconductor …, 1996 - iopscience.iop.org
We report on low-temperature thermal expansion and specific heat measurements in a
series of non-random composites YBCO/Ag x wt%(x= 0, 6, 11 and 23). A reference YBCO …
