Abstract
The structural, electrical and magnetic properties of a series of La3-xSrxNi2O7-δ polycrystalline samples have been systematically investigated with and without high-pressure oxygen annealing. Without annealing, the introduction of Sr at La site leads to a moderate enhancement of conductivity. The high-pressure oxygen annealing leads to an increase of oxygen content by ∼1.08 %. Consequently, the conductivity of the annealing samples is significantly enhanced comparing to the untreated samples. The La3-xSrxNi2O7-δ samples exhibit metal-like behavior in the whole temperature range with annealing, which is due to the hole doping effect. The present results could contribute to the exploration of possible ambient superconductivity in La3Ni2O7-δ system.
期刊介绍:
Physica C (Superconductivity and its Applications) publishes peer-reviewed papers on novel developments in the field of superconductivity. Topics include discovery of new superconducting materials and elucidation of their mechanisms, physics of vortex matter, enhancement of critical properties of superconductors, identification of novel properties and processing methods that improve their performance and promote new routes to applications of superconductivity.
The main goal of the journal is to publish:
1. Papers that substantially increase the understanding of the fundamental aspects and mechanisms of superconductivity and vortex matter through theoretical and experimental methods.
2. Papers that report on novel physical properties and processing of materials that substantially enhance their critical performance.
3. Papers that promote new or improved routes to applications of superconductivity and/or superconducting materials, and proof-of-concept novel proto-type superconducting devices.
The editors of the journal will select papers that are well written and based on thorough research that provide truly novel insights.
