A first-order phase transition induced by a magnetic field

H Kuwahara, Y Tomioka, A Asamitsu, Y Moritomo… - Science, 1995 - science.org
An electronic (metal-to-insulator) phase transition of the first order, which can be caused by
an external magnetic field, was discovered in Nd1/2Sr1/2MnO3. A clear hysteresis was …

[BUCH][B] Magnetic flux structures in superconductors: extended reprint of a classic text

RP Huebener - 2013 - books.google.com
The first edition of this book provided an introduction to the many static and dynamic features

Cryogenic particle detectors

D Twerenbold - Reports on Progress in Physics, 1996 - iopscience.iop.org
A review of cryogenic particle detectors is presented. A major motivation for develo** this
type of particle detector is their superior sensitivity to weakly ionizing particle interactions …

Patterns of magnetic flux penetration in superconducting films

RN Goren, M Tinkham - Journal of Low Temperature Physics, 1971 - Springer
Intermediate-state magnetic flux patterns have been observed in thin superconducting films
of tin, lead, and indium in perpendicular applied fields of 0.1–100 Oe. The spatial variation in …

Thermal conductivity of superconducting alloy films in a perpendicular magnetic field

JO Willis, DM Ginsberg - Physical Review B, 1976 - APS
We have measured the thermal conductivity of superconducting films of indium-bismuth
alloys in a perpendicular magnetic field. The films were condensed onto glass substrates …

Superconducting parameters and size effects of aluminum films and foils

MD Maloney, F de La Cruz, M Cardona - Physical Review B, 1972 - APS
In this paper we present the experimental results and analysis of the critical-field
determination of aluminum films and foils. We studied the thermodynamic parallel and …

Stability limit of the superheated Meissner state due to three-dimensional fluctuations of the order parameter and vector potential

HJ Fink, AG Presson - Physical Review, 1969 - APS
We have calculated near the transition temperature T c the upper experimental magnetic
field H u at which the metastable, superheated Meissner state becomes unstable against …

Type-I superconductivity of the layered silver oxide

S Yonezawa, Y Maeno - Physical Review B—Condensed Matter and Materials …, 2005 - APS
We report the zero-resistivity transition and the details of the magnetic transition of a layered
silver oxide Ag 5 Pb 2 O 6 single crystal, which provide definitive evidence of …

Observation of Enhanced Diamagnetism above in Indium Due to Thermodynamic Fluctuations

JP Gollub, MR Beasley, RS Newbower, M Tinkham - Physical Review Letters, 1969 - APS
We have observed a temperature-dependent enhanced diamagnetism above the critical
temperature in pure bulk indium which we attribute to the effects of thermal fluctuations. The …
