SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the need for critical field (Bc) versus critical temperature (Tc) plots for optimally doped cuprate superconductors, particularly in the region below 40K. The user expresses difficulty in locating specific plots that demonstrate a distinct kink in the Bc vs. Tc curve around 10-15K. They seek accurate measurements of Bc against Tc for cuprates with Tc greater than 100K and mention previous encounters with diagrams that illustrate these features at temperatures below 20K. The user requests links to relevant resources due to challenges accessing academic papers.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of superconductivity principles, particularly in cuprate materials.
  • Familiarity with critical temperature (Tc) and critical field (Bc) concepts.
  • Knowledge of phase diagrams related to superconductors.
  • Basic research skills for accessing scientific literature and data.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research "Bc vs Tc plots for cuprate superconductors" to find relevant diagrams.
  • Explore "cuprate phase diagrams" for insights on doping effects.
  • Investigate "high-temperature superconductors" for advanced studies on Tc > 100K.
  • Look for open-access journals or repositories for scientific papers on cuprate superconductors.
USEFUL FOR

Researchers, physicists, and materials scientists interested in high-temperature superconductors, particularly those studying cuprate materials and their critical properties.

Hi Guys,
A while back I saw a plot of Bc against Tc for a cuprate sample. There seemed to be a distinct kink in the curve in the 10-15K region.
I'd like to see a few plots of optimally doped (or there abouts) cuprates particularly the <40K region. My inept Google searching only gets me the cuprate phase-diagram of SC by doping :(
Not being an academic, I can't always open papers I'm pointed at.
Thanks in advance for any help.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
I'm not sure how many optimally doped cuprates have a Tc less than 40K.
 
None I hope! I'm looking for accurate measured Bc against Tc for samples of Tc > 100K.
I saw a set of 3 diagrams for 3 different cuprates and each had this feature at < 20K, but I haven't been able to find them again and I can't afford to buy papers with likely abstracts/titles.
Any links gratefully appreciated.
