Superconductivity of SrTiO3-δ
Abstract
Superconducting SrTiO3-δ was obtained by annealing single crystalline SrTiO3 samples in ultra high vacuum. An analysis of the V(I) characteristics revealed very small critical currents Ic which can be traced back to a unavoidable doping inhomogeneity. R(T) curves were measured for a range of magnetic fields B at I<<Ic, thereby probing only the sample regions with the highest doping level. The resulting curves Bc2(T) show upward curvature, both at small and strong doping. These results are discussed in the context of bipolaronic and conventional superconductivity with Fermi surface anisotropy. We conclude that the special superconducting properties of SrTiO3-δ can be related to its Fermi surface and compare this finding with properties of the recently discovered superconductor MgB2.
