We have investigated the influence of the superconducting layer thickness, d, on the structural and transport properties of Co-doped BaFe2As2 films deposited on Fe-buffered MgO substrates by pulsed laser deposition. The superconducting…
We report enhanced superconductivity in bilayer thin films consisting of superconducting La$_{1.6-x}$Nd$_{0.4}$Sr$_{x}$CuO$_{4}$ with 0.06 $\leq x<$ 0.20 and metallic but non-superconducting La$_{1.55}$Sr$_{0.45}$CuO$_{4}$. These bilayers…
The implementation of an Fe buffer layer is a promising way to obtain epitaxial growth of Co-doped BaFe2As2 (Ba-122). However, the crystalline quality and the superconducting properties of Co-doped Ba-122 are influenced by the Fe buffer…
Here, we study the effects of a GaAs buffer layer on the structural, magnetic, and transport properties of Cr$_y$(Bi$_x$Sb$_{1-x}$)$_{2-y}$Te$_3$ magnetic topological insulator thin films and compare them with those of…
Unconventional superconductivity has been suggested to be present at the interface between bismuth and nickel in thin-film bilayers. In this work, we study the structural, magnetic and superconducting properties of sputter deposited Bi/Ni…
In a search for a simple proximity system of a topological insulator and a superconductor for studying the role of surface versus bulk effects by gating, we report here on a first step toward this goal, namely the choice of such a system…
Biaxially textured FeSe1-xTex films have been realized on Fe-buffered MgO substrates by pulsed laser deposition. Similar to the Fe/BaFe2As2 bilayers, the crystalline quality of FeSe1-xTex films exhibit a sharp out-of-plane and in-plane…
The biaxially textured growth of superconducting Co-doped BaFe2As2 (Ba-122) thin films has been realized on ion beam assisted deposition (IBAD) MgO coated conductor templates by employing an iron buffer architecture. The iron pnictide…
Single crystals of superconducting BaFe$_{1.8}$Co$_{0.2}$As$_2$ were exposed to neutron irradiation in a fission reactor. The introduced defects decrease the superconducting transition temperature (by about 0.3 K) and the upper critical…
Here we report bulk superconductivity in BaFe1.8Co0.2As2 single crystals below Tc = 22 K, as demonstrated by resistivity, magnetic susceptibility, and specific heat data. Hall data indicate that the dominant carriers are electrons, as…

We analyze fundamental issues related to the thermal and electrical stability of a coated conductor during its operation. We address the role of conductive buffer layers in the stability of Ni-based coated conductors, and the effect of a…
The use of piezoelectric substrates enables a dynamic observation of strain dependent properties of functional materials. Based on studies with La1.85Sr0.15CuO4 we extended this approach to the iron arsenic superconductors represented by…
A central issue in the physics of high temperature superconductors is to understand superconductivity within a single copper-oxide layer or bilayer, the fundamental structural unit in the cuprates, and how it is lost with underdoping. As…
To investigate the transport properties of iron based superconductors, we prepared planar hybrid superconductor-normal metal-superconductor (SNS') thin film junctions with BaFe1.8Co0.2As2 as base electrode. As counter electrode we used a…
In contact with a superconductor, a normal metal modifies its properties due to Andreev reflection. In the current work, the local density of states (LDOS) of superconductor - normal metal Mo$_{78}$Ge$_{22}$ - Au bilayers are studied by…

Molecular beam epitaxy of K-doped Ba122 (Ba$_{1-x}$K$_x$Fe$_\text{2}$As$_\text{2}$) superconductor was realized on a MgO substrate. Microstructural observation revealed that the undoped Ba122 served as a perfect buffer layer for epitaxial…
