The critical current density of a superconducting film can be easily determined by an inductive and contactless method. Driving a sinusoidal current in a single coil placed in front of a superconducting sample, a non zero third harmonic…
In this investigation we report the determination of the critical current density $J_c$ flowing in a $\mathrm{Y}\mathrm{Ba}_2\mathrm{Cu}_3\mathrm{O}_{7-\delta}$ superconducting thin film. Estimation of $J_c$ was carried out by an inductive…
We develop a lower critical field (Hc1) measurement system using the third-harmonic response of an applied AC magnetic field from a solenoid coil positioned above a superconducting sample. Parameter Hc1 is measured via detection of the…
Quantitative magneto-optical imaging of a type-II superconductor thin film cooled under zero, homogeneous, and inhomogeneous applied magnetic fields, indicates that the latter procedure leads to an enhancement of the screening capacity.…
The temperature and field dependence of harmonics in voltage $V_n=V'_n-iV"_n$ using the screening technique have been measured for $\mathrm{Y}\mathrm{Ba}_{2}\mathrm{Cu}_3\mathrm{O}_{7-\delta}$ superconducting thin films. Using the Sun model…
Key questions for any superconductor include: what is its maximum dissipation-free electrical current (its `critical current') and can this be used to extract fundamental thermodynamic parameters? Present models focus on depinning of…
We have measured magnetic response of second-generation high temperature superconductor YBa2Cu3Ox wire and Nb thin film in perpendicular ac field as a function of temperature. We compare experimental complex ac susceptibility to the…
We develop the multi-band BCS model of superconductivity in the ultrathin films using the orthogonal tight-binding approximation for constructing the electron wavefunctions. This allows for relatively simple determination of the band…
Superconductivity has been found in RuN films obtained by reactive magnetron sputtering. This is a novel member of the metal nitride superconductors family. The critical temperature of the superconducting transition varies depending on the…
We have found a new mean field solution in the BCS theory of superconductivity. This unconventional solution indicates the existence of superconducting phase transitions of third order in thin films, or in bulk matter with a layered…
The experimental investigation of the $I_c(B)$--$T_c(B)$ phase boundary of superconducting niobium films with large area quasihexagonal hole arrays is reported. The hole arrays were patterned with microsphere photolithography. We…
The multilayer thin film structure of the superconductor has been proposed by A. Gurevich to enhance the maximum gradient of SRF cavities. The lower critical field Hc1 at which the vortex starts penetrating the superconducting material will…
Continued advances in superconducting qubit performance require more detailed understandings of the many sources of decoherence. Within these devices, two-level systems arise due to defects, interfaces, and grain boundaries, and are thought…
High superconducting transition temperature is favorable for the applications of superconductors. Some cuprate superconductors have the transition temperatures above 100 K, such as the Hg- or Tl-based 1223 and 1234 phases, but many of them…
The determination of their critical current density in the whole range of the temperature below Tc is of first importance to understand the physical processes occurring in superconducting films. We describe here a technique suitable for…
Investigations of the intrinsic electromagnetic nonlinearity of superconductors give insight into the fundamental physics of these materials. Phase-sensitive third-order harmonic voltage data $\tilde{u}_{3f}=|u_{3f}|exp(i\phi_{3f})$ are…
A localized and strong RF magnetic field, created by a magnetic write head, is used to examine the linear electrodynamic properties of a Nb superconducting film. The complex reflection coefficient of the write head held in close proximity…
Superconducting thin-films are central to the operation of many kinds of quantum sensors and quantum computing devices: Kinetic Inductance Detectors (KIDs), Travelling-Wave Parametric Amplifiers (TWPAs), Qubits, and Spin-based Quantum…
In this paper, we report on the sharp peak observed in the third harmonic voltage response generated by a bias sinusoidal current applied to several strips patterned in a YBa2Cu3O7-d thin film and in two La1-xSrxCuO4 thin films, when the…
Strongly disordered superconductors in a magnetic field display many characteristic properties of type-II superconductivity--- except at low temperatures where an anomalous linear $T$-dependence of the resistive critical field $B_{c2}$ is…
