We present the results of magnetic measurements in fields up to 50 kOe for superconducting Rb 3 C 60. The temperature dependence of upper H c 2 critical magnetic field is determined, from which the zero temperature value Hc2(0)=465±50 kOe is evaluated. The magnitudes of penetration depth and coherence length are calculated as ξ(0)=26.7±3 Å; λ L (0)=2150±100 Å at zero temperature. The temperature dependence of ξ(T) and λ L (T) for T≧23 K is in good agreement with the Ginzburg-Landau theory. The critical current densities for different temperatures are calculated, showing a strong decrease of Jc with increasing temperature for T≤7 K . Two regions of fading critical current density on a magnetic field dependence are found.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
