Solid State Physics II 42.1. Classification of Superconductors 49.3. Xray Diffraction: Laue Equations 42.2 Effective Mass of an Electron in a Crystal 42.1 Classification of Superconductors The superconductors can be classified into two distinct groups according to their behaviour in ternal magnetic field. | Type-I Superconductors The superconductors, in which the magnetic field is totally excluded from the interior of rconductors below a certain magnetising field H,, and at H,, the material loses superconductiv- and the magnetic field penetrates fully are termed as type 1 or soft superconductors. Examples ; Tin, Lead, Aluminium, Mercury, Zinc, Magnesium ete. The magnetization curve type I super-conducting materials is shown in Fig. 42.1. Ho ——» Applied field (H) Fig. 42.41 Superconductors.578 MODERN PHYSi¢g acteristics of type T supereonductors are: ‘The important ch (i) They exhibit complete Meissner effect. (ii) The critical values of magnetic field H, at which magnetisation drops are Very TOW, Th maximum known critical field for type I superconductor is of the order of 0.1 T. The low value g makes these materials unsuitable for use in high field superconducting magnets. , ‘The magnetisation curve shows that transition at He is reversible, This means t netic field is reduced below Hg, the material again acquires superconducting property: expelled. (iii) Below Hg the mat is superconductor and above He it becomes a 2. Type I (or hard) Superconductors The superconductors in which the material losey magnetisation gradually rather than suddenly are termed as type II or hard superconductors. The magnetisation curve for these supercon- | ductors is shown in Fig, 42.2. ‘The important characteristics are : () They do not show complete Meissner effect. (ii) These superconductors have two critical fields: H,, (the lower critical field) and H, (the up- ; per critical field). The specimen is diamagnetic below Ho, ie., the magnetic field is comp excluded below H,,. At He, the flux begins to penetrate the specimen, and. the peneuation. increases until the upper critical field H, is reached. At H,, the magnetisation vanishes returns to normal conducting state, The value of His greater than H... The value of eriti type II materials may be 100 times or more higher than the value of H, for type I Critical fields H,, upto 30 T have been observed. The materials which display type II behaviour are essentially in! Nb-Zr, Nb-Ti alloys and Va-Ga and Nb-Sn inter-metallic compounds. These are t useful than type I superconductors due to tolerating high magnetic fields. 42.2 Effective Mass of an Electron in a Crystal _ Consider an isolated electron of mass m and charge — ¢ in an electric field E on itis —eE, If the acceleration produced in the electron is a, then — Ee = ma, An el exert some force on an electron in a crystal. Hence by Newton's second law of m ‘ma =— eE + force due to neighbouring ions and electrons. — __ The latter force is not known quantitatively. We overcome this d our ignorance to the left hand side of the equation by writing m*a=—eE, Here m* is called the effective mass of the electron in the crystal. 42.3 X-ray Diffraction: Laue Equations ewguPERCONDUCTIVITY 1 as igh-T,, Superconductivity A large number of possible practical applic jasnot been achieved On ACcoUnt ofthe limit BETH re sperconductivity through refrigeration © iP al efforts have been made by researc My data are displayed in Table 44,1.

A number of arguments have been aivanced to explain high T... For example, it has been realised that the role of oxygen is essential for high T, oxide superconductors. The occurrence of a strong electronic band in the infrared Spectrum and its correlation with superconductivity provides evidence that the Superconductivity of YBa, Cu, O,_ | materials is Mediated by an excitonic Mechanism.

We ify this to describe conduction and the Meissner effect in the superconducting state. We ume that in the superconducting state the current density is directly proportional to the vector tial A of the local magnetic field. Here, B = curl A. The constant of proportionality is A/jiy A}. Thus 1 j a aaa @) Ho Ai Here, 2, is a constant with the dimensions of length. This is the London equation. Taking the curl of both sides, we get 1 curlj=--—;B =) Hot Now, consider the Maxwell equation curl B=H1o5 --@) Taking curl, we obtain 2 curl curl B= Hy curl j (4) Now, curl curl B= grad div B- V°B curl curl B=- VB (sdivB=0) 6) On combining Eqs.

(2), we get 1 -vipey 3") | Ho Ai V7 B= B/A;, Here, A, is called the London penetration depth. fe For a superconductor to the right of the plane x= 0, Eq. (6) has the soln B(x) =B (0) exp(-x/,), Here, B (0) is the field at the plane boundary. The penetration depth A, is defined as the distance, t in which the field decreases by the factor e~!. Eq. (7) indicates that B does not penetrate very deeply into a superconductor. Therefore, it implies the Meissner effect. ‘A magnetic field external to the superconductor de- cays exponentially as it penetrates the superconductor (Fig. 45.1). The decay constant is called the penetration depth ,. The vacuum-superconducting interface is at x=0. Eq. (7) agrees well with the experimental observations that the magnetic field does not drop to zero abruptly at the sur- face but decays inside the superconductor in a characteristic distance 2, , called London penetration depth. Thos the flux vanishes in the imtesior ductor. The values of 2, found experimentally range from 30 nm to 500 nm. 45.2 Energy Gap Experiments have shown that in superconductors, for temperatures in the vicinity of absolute zero, a for- bidden energy gap just above the Fermi level is observed. Figure 45.2 (a) shows the conduction band in the normal state.
