Abstract

Superconducting properties in HgBa2Ca2Cu3O8+δ, with a transition temperature of Tc=133 K, have been investigated by measurements of the nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate, (1T1)63. It has been found that the T1T=const behavior, observed well below Tc, arises from combined relaxation channels to vortex cores, as well as from a residual density of states (DOS), Nres, at the Fermi level associated with the gapless superconductivity. From the value of T1T=const in the latter channel, the DOS fraction normalized by its value at Tc, NresNTc, has been deduced to be as small as ∼0.05. Based on the two-dimensional gapless d-wave model, the Tc reduction rate, ΔTcTc0, is estimated to be as small as 0.02 for NresN0∼0.05. It is pointed out that these measures of the quality of HgBa2Ca2Cu3O8+δ explain why Tc reaches such a high value.
