Critical Temperature for TlBa:1212; [Tl-Ba-Ca-Cu-O]
Tc(midpoint) (K) Critical Temperature (K)
106 100
Measurement Method: Four-probe method
"The electrical resistance was measured by a DC four-probe method. Electrical contacts were made by conductive silver paste and a measuring current of 0.3 mA was applied. The temperature of the sample was measured with a Pt resistance thermometer and temperature corrections for its magnetoresistance were made... The value of Tc defined by the zero resistance (is used)... H is defined by the mid-point of the normal state resistance... The Ginzburg-Landau coherence lengths at 0 K... are also estimated by... ( Hc2(0) = Φ0/2¦L2 where Φ0 is the flux quantum and L is the coherence length )."
