We report on measurements of the angular dependence of the irreversibility temperature $T_{irr}(\theta) $ in $YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-\delta }$ thin films, defined by the onset of a third harmonic signal and measured by a miniature Hall probe. From…
The anisotropic irreversibility field B$_{Irr}$ of two $YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-x}$ thin films doped with additional rare earth (RE)=(Gd,Y) and Zr and containing strong correlated pins (splayed BaZrO$_{3}$ nanorods, and $RE_2O_3$ nanoprecipitates),…
The resistivity and the Hall effect in the copper-oxide high-temperature superconductor YBa$_{2}$Cu$_{3}$O$_{7-\delta}$ (YBCO) are remarkably anisotropic. Using a thin film of YBCO grown on an off-axis cut SrTiO$_3$ substrate allows one to…
We report measurements of the far infrared transmission of superconducting YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{7-\delta }$ thin films from 5 cm$^{-1}$ to 200 cm$^{-1}$ in fields up to 14$T$. A Kramers-Kronig analysis of the magneto-transmission spectrum…
Thin films of the high-temperature superconductor HgBa$_2$CaCu$_2$O$_{6+\delta}$ have been prepared on SrTiO$_3$ substrates by pulsed-laser deposition of precursor films and subsequent annealing in mercury-vapor atmosphere. The…
We report the comprehensive comparative analysis of the upper critical magnetic fields $\mu_{0}H_{c2}(0)$ obtained within Ginzburg-Landau and Werthamer-Helfand-Hohenberg theories for optimally-doped $YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-\delta}$ thin films. For…
Most measurements of critical current densities in YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{7-\delta}$ thin films to date have been performed on films where the \textit{c}-axis is grown normal to the film surface. With such films, the analysis of the dependence of…
One of the key factors limiting the high power applications for a type-II superconductor is the irreversibility line Hirr(T) which reflects the very boundary of resistive dissipation in the phase diagram of magnetic field versus…
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…
Thin superconducting YBa$_{2}$Cu$_{3}$O$_{7-\delta}$ films are patterned with a vortex-pin lattice consisting of columnar defect regions (CDs) with 180 nm diameter and 300 nm spacing. They are fabricated by irradiation with 75 keV He$^+$…
We investigate the upper critical field and superconducting anisotropy of epitaxial La2.82Sr0.18Ni2O7 thin films, which show a sharp superconducting transition at Tc=31.6 K. Near Tc, superconductivity exhibits thickness-limited…
Critical current measurements were made on thin films of YBa2Cu3O7-delta and Y0.8Ca0.2Ba2Cu3O7-delta produced by sol-gel and pulsed laser deposition, respectively. Both samples have high critical currents at low temperatures and the…
A rapid decrease in the critical current density (Jc) of YBa2Cu3O7-x (YBCO) films with increasing film thickness has been observed for multiple YBCO growth processes. While such behavior is predicted from 2D collective pinning models under…
High-quality epitaxial MgB2 thin films prepared by pulsed laser deposition with Tc = 39 K offer the opportunity to study the anisotropy and robustness of the superconducting state in magnetic fields. We measure the in-plane electrical…
The critical current density of epitaxial YBCO films grown on vicinal SrTiO3 substrates was investigated by electrical transport measurements along and across the steps of the SrTiO3 surface for a range of temperatures of 10 K to 85 K and…
We consider the superconducting vortex solid-to-liquid transition in heavy ion-irradiated untwinned YBa2Cu3O7-d single crystals in the case where the magnetic field direction does not coincide with that of the irradiation-induced linear…
The critical current density flowing across low angle grain boundaries in YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{7-\delta}$ thin films has been studied magnetometrically. Films (200 nm thickness) were deposited on SrTiO$_3$ bicrystal substrates containing a…
We have studied the normal-to-superconducting phase transition in optimally-doped YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{7-\delta}$ in zero external magnetic field using a variety of different samples and techniques. Using DC transport measurements, we find that…
We report measurements of the temperature dependent components of the magnetic penetration depth {\lambda}(T) in single crystal samples of YBa_2Cu_4O_8 using a radio frequency tunnel diode oscillator technique. We observe a downturn in…
The intrinsic properties of MgB$_2$ form the basis for all applications of this superconductor. We wish to emphasize that the application range of polycrystalline MgB$_2$ is limited by the upper critical field H$_{c2}$ and its anisotropy.…
