Abstract

Low-temperature heat-capacity, electrical resistivity, and magnetization measurements are performed to investigate the superconducting and magnetic behavior of ErBa2Cu3O7−x. This compound exhibits a superconducting transition at 84 K as determined from zero resistance and Meissner effect. A well-defined magnetic transition is seen at 0.87 K from heat-capacity measurements. We deduce the coexistence of superconductivity and antiferromagnetic order in this compound; however, magnetization data show that the paramagnetism from Er3+ and superconductivity are independent, leading to indirect evidence of extremely anisotropic superconductivity in this class of compounds.
