Abstract

The upper critical magnetic field of a series samples of YBa2(Cu1-xNix)3O7 is measured. Other related parameters, such as the lower critical magnetic field Hc1, the Ginsberg-Landau parameter k, the jump in the specific heat ∆C/Tc, the superconducting coherence length ξ, and the penetration depth λ, are calculated from Tc, dHc2/dT and dM/dH. The results show that Hc2(0), and consequently ξ(0), are essentially constant, but Hc and ∆C/Tc decrease with increasing Ni content.
