Ms. Osofsky et al., ANOMALOUS TEMPERATURE-DEPENDENCE OF THE UPPER CRITICAL MAGNETIC-FIELDIN BI-SR-CU-O, Physical review letters, 71(14), 1993, pp. 2315-2318
H(c2)(T) has been measured for thin BSCO films over a larger combined
range of magnetic field and reduced temperature than for any other sup
erconductor. H(c2)(T) diverged anomalously as the temperature decrease
d: At the lowest temperature, it was 5 times that expected for a conve
ntional superconductor. Such a strong divergence cannot be explained b
y any conventional model.
