Comparison of $H_{c2}(T,θ)$ in Mg$_{1-x}$Al$_x$B$_2$ single crystals with the dirty-limit two-gap theory

We studied the temperature and the angular dependences of the upper critical field ($H_{c2}(T,θ$)) of Mg$_{1-x}$Al$_x$B$_2$ single crystals ($x = 0.12$ and 0.21) and compared with the dirty-limit two-gap theory. We found that $H_{c2}(T,θ)$'s were well described in a unified way by this theory. The obtained values of the parameters indicated that as the Al concentration was increased, anisotropic impurity scattering increased, making the $σ$ bands less anisotropic. Accordingly, the temperature dependence of the anisotropy ratio of $H_{c2}$ ($γ_H$) systematically decreased, and for $x=0.21$, $γ_H$ was nearly constant. Our results imply that Mg$_{1-x}$Al$_x$B$_2$ single crystals are in dirty-limit and that two-gap nature survives until $x = 0.21$.

The Dendritic magnetic avalanches in carbon-free MgB$_2$ thin films with and without a deposited Au layer

From the magneto optics images (MOI), the dendritic magnetic avalanche is known to appear dominantly for thin films of the newly discovered MgB$_2$. To clarify the origin of this phenomenon, we studied in detail the MOI of carbon-free MgB$_2$ thin films with and without a deposited gold layer. The MOI indicated carbon contamination was not the main source of the avalanche. The MOI clearly showed that the deposition of metallic gold deposition on top of a MgB$_2$ thin film improved its thermal stability and suppressed the sudden appearance of the dendritic flux avalanche. This is consistent with the previous observation of flux noise in the magnetization.

Reversible magnetization measurement of the anisotropy of the London penetration depth in MgB2 single crystals

We have studied the anisotropy of the London penetration depth, which was obtained from reversible magnetization measurements with the magnetic field both parallel and perpendicular to the c-axis. The anisotropy of the London penetration depth has a smaller magnitude than the anisotropy of the upper critical field and increases with temperature while that of the upper critical field decreases as reported earlier. This behavior is in sharp contrast with the behaviors of superconductors with one superconducting energy gap. The temperature dependence of the anisotropies of the London penetration depth and of the upper critical field can be well explained within the theory of two-gap superconductivity in MgB2.

Reversible magnetization of MgB2 single crystals with a two-gap nature

We present reversible magnetization measurements on MgB2 single crystals in magnetic fields up to 2.5 T applied parallel to the crystal's c-axis. This magnetization is analyzed in terms of the Hao-Clem model, and various superconducting parameters, such as the critical fields [Hc(0) and Hc2(0)], the characteristic lengths [xi(0) and lambda(0)], and the Ginzburg-Landau parameter, kappa, are derived. The temperature dependence of the magnetic penetration depth, lambda(T), obtained from the Hao-Clem analysis could not be explained by theories assuming a single gap. Our data are well described by using a two-gap model.
