Magneto-optical imaging studies on a high-quality Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8 single crystal partially patterned with a triangular array of holes reveal enhanced flux shielding in the patterned region of the sample. By mapping local magnetic field and…
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…
Using magneto-optical imaging technique, we map local magnetic field distribution inside a hexagonally ordered array of blind holes patterned in BSCCO single crystals. The nature of the spatial distribution of local magnetic field and…
Investigations into the heterogeneous pinning properties of the vortex state created by partially nano-patterning single crystals of 2H-NbSe2 reveal an atypical magnetization response which is significantly drive dependent. Analysis of the…
We report measurements of the magnetic penetration depth \lambda_m(T) in the presence of a DC magnetic field in optimally doped BSCCO-2212 single crystals. Warming, after magnetic field is applied to a zero-field cooled sample, results in a…
Experiments on potential differences in the low-temperature vortex solid phase of monocrystalline platelets of superconducting Bi(2)Sr(2)CaCu(2)O(8) (BSCCO) subjected to currents driven either through an "ab" surface or from one such…
In-plane complex surface impedance of a Bi2Sr2CaCu2Oy single crystal was measured in the mixed state at 40.8 GHz.The surface reactance, which is proportional to the real part of the effective penetration depth, increased rapidly just above…
The influence of antiferromagnetic order on the mixed state of a superconductor may result in creation of spin-flop domains along vortices. This may happen when an external magnetic field is strong enough to flip over magnetic moments in…
We created local pinning modulations in YBCO films by means of confined high energy heavy ion irradiation. The high energy of the ions allows us to introduce nanometric size defects with a well defined anisotropy. The dose was chosen in…
We show how a single flux quantum can be effectively manipulated in a superconducting film with a matrix of blind holes. Such a sample can serve as a basic memory element, where the position of the vortex in a [k x l] matrix of pinning…
Differential magneto-optics are used to study the effect of dc in-plane magnetic field on hysteretic behavior due to geometrical barriers in $Bi_2Sr_2CaCu_2O_{8+\delta}$ crystals. In absence of in-plane field a vortex dome is visualized in…
Magnetic flux (vortex) trapping remains a major obstacle to very large scale integration in superconducting electronics. Moats -- etched regions in circuit layers placed in ground planes and around critical circuitry -- offer a simple…
Holes drilled in a type-II superconductor trap the magnetic flux. Following Clem's flux pinning model, we consider surface pinning as a mechanism for compressing the magnetic flux in the holes. Estimations of the trapped magnetic flux…
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.…
Nanowires of two-dimensional (2D) crystals of type-II superconductor NbSe$_2$ prepared by electron-beam lithography were studied, focusing on the effect of the motion of Abrikosov vortices. We present magnetoresistance measurements on these…
We present a Green's function based framework for modeling the scanning tunneling spectrum from the normal as well as the superconducting state of complex materials where the nature of the tunneling process$-$ i.e. the effect of the…
Using high sensitivity magneto-optical imaging we find evidence for a jump in local vortex density associated with a vortex liquid to solid phase transition just above the lower critical field in a single crystal of Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8. We find…
By spatially mapping the Doppler effect of an in-plane magnetic field on the quasiparticle tunneling spectrum, we have laterally imaged the vortex lattice in superconducting 2H-NbSe2. Cryomagnetic scanning tunneling spectroscopy was…
We performed ac-susceptibility measurements to explore the vortex dynamics and the flux pinning properties of superconducting Pb films with an array of micro-holes (antidots) and non-fully perforated holes (blind holes). A lower…
The case study of a 32-atoms Si nanocrystallite (NC) embedded in a SiO2 matrix, both crystalline and amorphous, or free-standing with different conditions of passivation and strain is analyzed through ab-initio approaches. The Si32/SiO2…
