Notes:
The upper critical field of YBa2(Cu1−xFex)3O7−δ with x=0 and 0.05 is determined over the whole temperature range from 4.2 K to Tc. The data behave according to the theory of Werthamer, Helfand, and Hohenberg [N. R. Werthamer, E. Helfand, and P. C. Hohenberg, Phys. Rev. 147, 295 (1966)]. However, at low temperatures the upper critical field is larger than expected from the original expressions of Werthamer and co-workers. Generalized equations, which take into account the anisotropy of the Fermi surface, yield values for the upper critical field, which are in excellent agreement with the experimental data.
