Several magnetic characteristics including the magnetocaloric ones have been calculated for those scenarios. It is expected that by observing the features of the characteristics of the magnetocaloric effect in UTe2 and comparing them with the ones, predicted by the theory, one can choose the model, that can better describe the specific magnetic properties of UTe2 at low temperatures in the normal phase.","PeriodicalId":18077,"journal":{"name":"Low Temperature Physics","volume":"63 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2024-07-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141742023","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It has been established that the shape of Δ*(T) for various B over the entire range from the pseudogap opening temperature T* to T01, below which superconducting fluctuations occur, has a wide maximum at the BEC-BCS crossover temperature Tpair, which is typical for OD films and untwinned YBCO single crystals. T* was shown to be independent on B, whereas Tpair shifts to the low-temperature region along with the increase in B, while the maximum value of Δ*(Tpair) remains practically constant regardless of B. It was revealed that as the field increases, the low-temperature maximum near the 3D-2D transition temperature T0 is blurred and disappears at B > 5 T. Moreover, above the Ginzburg temperature TG, which limits superconducting fluctuations from below, for B > 0.5 T, a minimum appears on Δ*(T) at Tmin, which becomes very pronounced with a further increase in B. As a result, the overall value of Δ*(T) decreases noticeably most likely due to the pair-breaking effect. A comparison of Δ*(T) near Tc with the Peters–Bauer theory shows that the density of fluctuating Cooper pairs actually decreases from ⟨n↑n↓⟩ ≈ 0.31 at B = 0 to ⟨n↑n↓⟩ ≈ 0.28 in the field of 8 T. The observed behavior of Δ*(T) around Tmin is assumed to be due to the influence of a two-dimensional vortex lattice created by the magnetic field, which prevents the formation of fluctuating Cooper pairs near Tc.","PeriodicalId":18077,"journal":{"name":"Low Temperature Physics","volume":"149 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2024-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140800401","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In particular, a minimum value of the breakdown current has been established (about 1 μA), below which breakdown does not occur. The voltage-current characteristic (VCC) of the oxide has a semiconductor character and indicates the dependence of the breakdown voltage of the oxide on its polarity.

If the thickness of the metal layers is less than the phonon mean free path, interlayer heat transfer is carried out predominantly by phonons, and the effective cross-plane thermal conductivity is determined by the reflection of phonons from the metal/dielectric interfaces. In the opposite case of thick metal layers, the effective cross-plane thermal conductivity is determined both by the thermal conductivity of the metal layers and by the thermal resistance of the dielectric layers.
