Abstract:
A complex structure of the superconducting order parameter in Ln2C3 (Ln=La,Y) is demonstrated by muon spin relaxation measurements in their mixed state. The muon depolarization rate sigma v(T)] exhibits a characteristic temperature dependence that can be perfectly described by a phenomenological double-gap model for nodeless superconductivity. While the magnitude of two gaps is similar between La2C3 and Y2C3, a significant difference in the interband coupling between those two cases is clearly observed in the behavior of sigma v(T).

Molecular Solids
Molecular crystalline solids, such as ice, sucrose (table sugar), and iodine, are solids that are composed of neutral molecules as their constituent units. These molecules are held together by weak intermolecular forces such as London dispersion forces, dipole-dipole interactions, or hydrogen bonds, which...
Theory of Metallic Conduction
In this theory, Newton's second law of motion is used to determine the acceleration of an electron in the presence of an applied electric field. Then, its velocity is expressed via this acceleration.
An electron moves through the crystal, containing positive ions,...
