A thin film technology compatible with multilayer device fabrication is critical for exploring the potential of the 39-K superconductor magnesium diboride for superconducting electronics. Using a Hybrid Physical-Chemical Vapor Deposition…

The electronic properties of superconducting Sn films ($T_c \approx$ 3.8 K) change significantly when reducing the film thickness down to a few nm, in particular close to the percolation threshold. The low-energy electrodynamics of such Sn…

Solid solutions of Sr1-xLaxPbO3 (x = 0, 0.05, 0.10, 0.15 and 0.20) were synthesized with the help of high pressure. Temperature (T) dependences of the resistivity r and differential thermoelectric power S were measured. All samples…

The thermodynamic properties of the superconducting state in the amorphous ${\rm Sn_{1-x}Cu_{x}}$ thin films have been characterized. The concentration of copper changes in the range from $0.08$ to $0.41$. The calculations have been…

Nb2SnC is a member of the large family of lamellar materials that crystallize in the hexagonal structure with space group P63/mmc which are isomorphs with Cr2AlC, also named H-phase. In spite of the great number of compounds which belong to…

We report pressure-induced superconductivity in a single crystal of CaFe2As2. At atmospheric pressure, this material is antiferromagnetic below 170 K but under an applied pressure of 0.69 GPa becomes superconducting, with a transition…

Highly-perfect platelet single crystals of Tl_2Ba_2CuO_{6+d} (Tl-2201) were grown by a self-flux technique. A novel encapsulation scheme allowed the precursors to react prior to the sealing required to contain volatile thallium oxides, and…

Two-dimensional (2D) topological superconductors are highly desired because they not only offer opportunities for exploring novel exotic quantum physics, but also possesses potential applications in quantum computation. However, there are…

The effects of pressure on the superconducting properties of a Bi-based layered superconductor La2O2Bi3Ag0.6Sn0.4S6, which possesses a four-layer-type conducting layer, have been studied through the electrical resistance and magnetic…

By feeding current into the topmost $\mathrm{Cu_2O_4}$-layer of a mesa etched into the surface of a $\mathrm{Bi_2Sr_2CaCu_2O_{8+x}}$ (BSCCO) single crystal, we measured its superconducting critical value from a sharp upturn or break in…

The terahertz (THz) properties of ZrN thin films grown with CMOS-techniques on industry-standard 300 mm silicon wafers are investigated in order to explore their superconducting behavior. The films have thicknesses ranging from 18 to 48 nm,…

Single crystals of (Ca1-xLax)10(Pt3As8)(Fe2As2)5 (x = 0 to 0.182) superconductors have been grown and characterized by X-ray, microprobe, transport and thermodynamic measurements. Features in the magnetic susceptibility, specific heat and…

Superconductivity was recently found in the simple tetragonal FeSe structure. Recent studies suggest that FeSe is unconventional, with the symmetry of the superconducting pairing state still under debate. To tackle these problems, clean…

We report the fabrication of MgB2 with bulk superconducting properties by conventional solid state methods at temperatures as low as 550 C. Mg deficiencies of the type Mg1-xB2 were tested. Tc was found to decrease by about 1K at large x,…

The ability to exfoliate layered materials down to the single layer limit has opened the opportunity to understand how a gradual reduction in dimensionality affects the properties of bulk materials. Here we use this top-down approach to…

Superconducting thin films have been prepared in a two-step in-situ process, using the Mg-B plasma generated by pulsed laser ablation. The target was composed of a mixture of Mg and MgB2 powders to compensate for the volatility of Mg and…

We report the first observation of superconductivity in heterostructure consisting of an insulating ferroelectric film (Ba$_{0.8}$Sr$_{0.2}$TiO$_3$) grown on an insulating parent compound of La$_2$CuO$_4$ with [001] orientation. The…

Superconducting properties of thin films can be vastly different from those of bulk materials. Seminal work has shown the critical temperature Tc of elemental superconductors decreases with decreasing film thickness when the normal-state…

We have developed a transient thermoreflectance technique using picosecond pulsed and cw laser to study thermal conductivity and interface conductance in both thin-films and bulk materials. A real time-resolved system observes a thermal…

Measurements of the microwave surface impedance $Z_s(T)=R_s(T)+iX_s(T)$ and of the complex conductivity $\sigma_s(T)$ of high-quality, high-$T_c$ single crystals of YBCO, BSCCO, TBCCO, and TBCO are analyzed. Experimental data of $Z_s(T)$…
