Moving vortex matter, driven by transport currents independent of time, in which vortices and anti-vortices coexist is investigated theoretically in thin superconducting films with nanostructured defects. A simple London model is proposed…
The phase difference between the banks of an edge-type planar Josephson junction crossing the narrow thin-film strip depends on wether or not vortices are present in the junction banks. For a vortex close to the junction this effect has…
A controlled local enhancement of superconductivity yields unexpected modifications in the vortex dynamics. This local enhancement has been achieved by designing an array of superconducting Nb nanostructures embedded in a V superconducting…
Within Density Functional theory, we investigate stationary many-vortex structures in a rotating $^4$He nanocylinder at zero temperature. We compute the stability diagram and compare our results with the classical model of vortical lines in…
We observe single vortices as they penetrate the edge of a superconductor using a high-sensitivity magneto-optical microscope. The vortices leap across a gap near the edge, a distance that decreases with increasing applied field and sample…
The instability, dynamics and morphological transitions of patterns in thin liquid films on periodic striped surfaces (consisting of alternating less and more wettable stripes) are investigated based on 3-D nonlinear simulations that…
The determination of density profiles with knowing the phase information of complex reflection coefficient for neutron specularly reflected from a film, yields unique results. Recently it has been shown that the phase can be determined by…
A perpendicular magnetic field penetrating a thin type-II superconductor slab produces vortices, with one vortex per flux quantum, h/2e. The vortices interact repulsively and form an ordered array (Abrikosov lattice) in clean systems, while…
At finite temperatures and magnetic fields, type-II superconductors in the mixed state have a non-zero resistance that is overwhelmingly associated with vortex motion. In this work we study amorphous indium oxide films, which are thicker…
Magnetic and magneto-transport properties of manganese nitride films grown by molecular beam epitaxy have been investigated. Due to the mixed ferrimagnetic (FI) phase (${\epsilon}$-phase with TFI ~ 738 K) and the antiferromagnetic phase…
Interfacial mixing of elements is a well-known phenomenon found in thin film deposition. For thin-film magnetic heterostructures, interfacial compositional inhomogeneities can have drastic effects on the resulting functionalities. As such,…
Molecular spins are a versatile platform for quantum sensing. Not only are the spin-bearing molecules themselves widely tunable, they are also capable of being used as sensors as crystals, films and in solution. Using thin-films offers the…
We report the observation of vortex pinning in rotating gaseous Bose-Einstein condensates (BEC). The vortices are pinned to columnar pinning sites created by a co-rotating optical lattice superimposed on the rotating BEC. We study the…
How stable vortex-like magnetization in magnetic nanodisks with small aspect ratio ($L/R<<1$) is affected by two antidots is investigated analytically and by Monte Carlo simulations. For suitable ranges of the physical parameters this…
Effects of magnetic asymmetry on strongly coupled spin-vortex pairs with parallel core polarization and antiparallel chirality in synthetic nanomagnets are investigated. This includes vortex-core length asymmetry, biasing field asymmetry,…
We show that by nano-patterning a superconductor (NbSe2 single crystal) with an array of blind holes produces significant magnetic field sweep rate dependent metastable magnetization response. Our results are explained on the basis of a…
Interaction of particles of many systems can be effectively approximated by multiscale interaction potentials. Such potentials are widely used for investigation of colloidal systems and colloid-polymer mixtures, complex liquids (for…
Although pinning of domain walls in ferromagnets is ubiquitous, the absence of an appropriate characterization tool has limited the ability to correlate the physical and magnetic microstructures of ferromagnetic films with specific pinning…
Scaling superconducting digital circuits requires fundamental changes in the current material set and fabrication process. The transition to 300 mm wafers and the implementation of advanced lithography are instrumental in facilitating…
NbRe, a non-centrosymmetric superconductor with a transition temperature $T_\mathrm{c}$ up to 9\,K, attracts interest for its strong antisymmetric spin-orbit coupling and suitability for single-photon detection. While bulk and thin-film…
