Abstract
We show from muon spin relaxation (mu SR) studies on mercury HTS super conductors that a 50-fold increase in irreversibility field obtained b y partial substitution of Re for Hg is due to metallisation of the Hg/ Re layer. Induced superconductivity on this metallic layer doubles the overall superfluid density. This suggests a new approach to the desig n of high performance HTS materials: metallising one of the non-CuO2 i nterlayers and thereby greatly enhancing the superconducting propertie s.
