We have studied the remanent magnetic flux distribution in bulk melt-textured YBa2Cu3O7 (YBCO) crystals after their magnetization in quasi-static and pulsed magnetic fields up to 6T. It has been shown that, provided that the magnetic pulse…
We study the growth and electronic properties of a high temperature superconductor, YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_7$ (YBCO) in proximity of a magnetic material, La$_{0.67}$Sr$_{0.33}$MnO$_3$ (LSMO). High quality single crystalline films of YBCO and…
We have measured the spin fluctuations in the YBa2Cu3O6.5 (YBCO6.5, Tc=59 K) superconductor at high-energy transfers above ~ 100 meV. Within experimental error, the momentum dependence is isotropic at high-energies, similar to that measured…
The influence of adding 23 nm NiO nanoparticles on the magnetic hysteresis loops and critical current density of the high-temperature superconductor YBa2Cu3O7-d has been investigated. The samples were prepared using a fast annealing method…
Neutron scattering from high-quality YBCO6.334 single crystals with a T$_c$ of 8.4 K shows that there is no coexistence with long-range antiferromagnetic order at this very low, near-critical doping of $\sim$0.055, in contrast to claims…
Clear experimental evidence of charge density wave correlations competing with superconducting order in YBCO have thrust their relationship with the pseudogap regime into the spotlight. To aid in characterizing the pseudogap regime, we…
10 MeV proton-irradiation effects on a YBCO-based test structure were analyzed by measuring its current-voltage (IV) characteristics for different cumulated fluences. For fluences of up to $\sim$80$\cdot$10$^9$~p/cm$^2$ no changes in the…
With dc magnetisation and polarized neutron reflectometry we studied the ferromagnetic response of YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_7$/La$_{2/3}$Ca$_{1/3}$MnO$_3$ (YBCO/LCMO) multilayers that are grown with pulsed laser deposition. We found that whereas for…
Neutron Scattering measurements for YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{6.6}$ have identified small magnetic moments that increase in strength as the temperature is reduced below $T^\ast$ and further increase below $T_c$. An analysis of the data shows the…
The effects of static electric field on the dynamics of lysozyme and its hydration water have been investigated by means of incoherent quasi-elastic neutron scattering (QENS). Measurements were performed on lysozyme samples, hydrated…
The viscosity of methane and carbon dioxide hydrate systems were measured using a high-pressure rheometer up to 30 MPag. Where hydrate formation was not detected, the effect of temperature on the viscosity was one order of magnitude higher…
Traces of water can profoundly alter the dielectric response of functional oxides, yet such effects have remained largely unrecognized in systems where colossal dielectric behaviour has been widely reported. Here, we investigate the impact…
The force between two approaching solids in a liquid medium becomes increasingly large with decreasing separation, a phenomenon that prevents contact between the two solids. This growth in force occurs because of the intervening liquid,…
Knowledge of the electron sampling depth and related saturation effects is important for quantitative analysis of X-ray absorption spectroscopy data, yet for oxides with the perovskite structure no quantitative values are so far available.…
