In-plane microwave penetration depth lambda_{ab} and quasiparticle conductivity at 28 GHz are measured in underdoped single crystals of the Fe-based superconductor PrFeAsO_{1-y} (T_{c} approximately 35 K) by using a sensitive superconducting cavity resonator. lambda_{ab}(T) shows flat dependence low temperatures, which is incompatible with presence nodes gap Delta(k).

We study the new binary intermetallic superconductor MgB(2) using high-resolution photoemission spectroscopy. The superconducting-state spectrum measured at 5.4 K shows a coherent peak with shoulder structure, in sharp contrast to that expected from simple isotropic-gap opening. can be well reproduced weighted sum of two Dynes functions gap sizes 1.7 and 5.6 meV. Temperature-dependent both gaps close bulk transition temperature. These results provide spectroscopic evidence for multiple MgB(2).
We investigated the optical spectrum of Ba(Fe1-xCox)2As2 single crystals with various doping levels. It is found that low-energy conductivity this system can be decomposed into two components: a sharp Drude term and broad "incoherent" term. For compounds showing magnetic order, gap appears predominantly in component, while an s-wave like superconducting opens both components for highly doped compounds. The weight steadily increases as proceeds, consistent electron system. On other hand,...
The superconducting-gap of MgB2 has been studied by high-resolution angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. results show that superconducting gaps with values 5.5 and 2.2 meV open on the sigma band pi band, respectively, but both close at bulk transition temperature, providing a definitive experimental evidence for two-band superconductivity strong interband pairing interaction in MgB2. experiments validate role k-dependent electron-phonon coupling as origin multiple-gap well high temperature

We report a site selective Cu-NMR study on underdoped Hg-based five-layered high-Tc cuprate HgBa2Ca4CU5O(12+delta) with Tc = 72 K. Antiferromagnetism (AFM) has been found to take place at T(N) 290 K, exhibiting large antiferromagnetic moment of 0.67-0.69 microB three inner planes (IP). This value is comparable the values reported for nondoped cuprates, suggesting that IP may be in nearly regime. Most surprisingly, AFM order also detected M(AFM)(OP) 0.1 even two outer (OP) are responsible...

The largest transport critical current density (Jc) reached 40 kAcm-2 at T = 4.2 K under a magnetic field of 100 kOe. This value exceeds not only Jc but also those all iron-based round wires. Improvements polycrystalline play key role enhancement Jc....
We report the iron (Fe) isotope effect on transition temperature (Tc) in oxygen-deficient SmFeAsO_{1-y}, a 50 K-class Fe-based superconductor. For optimally-doped samples with Tc = 54 K, change of Fe average atomic mass (MFe) causes negligibly small shift Tc, coefficient (alphaFe) as -0.024 \pm 0.015. This result contrasts finite, inverse observed (Ba,K)Fe2As2, indicating that contribution electron-phonon interaction markedly differs between these two high-Tc superconductors.
