Planar superconducting resonators are essential components in quantum circuits and highly sensitive sensors. However, their performance is often compromised by magnetic flux penetration, as the interaction of flux quanta and the induced…
In this work, we provide a systematic study of the magnetic field penetration process and avalanche formation in niobium films of different thicknesses deposited on glass substrates. The research was carried out by means of direct…
The penetration of magnetic flux into a thin superconducting film of Nb3Sn with critical temperature 17.8K and critical current density 6MA/cm^2 was visualized using magneto-optical imaging. Below 8 K an avalanche-like flux penetration in…
Flux distributions in thin superconducting NbN films placed in a perpendicular magnetic field have been studied using magneto-optical imaging. Below 5.5 K the flux penetrates in the form of abrupt avalanches resulting in dendritic…
We have monitored new peculiarities of the dynamics of catastrophic avalanches of the magnetic flux in superconducting Nb, Nb-Ti, and YBaCuO samples: i) convergent oscillations of the magnetic flux; ii) a threshold for entering the huge…
We report the first direct visualization of flux avalanche propagation dynamics in bulk superconducting NbTi, tracking individual events and measuring their velocities using high-speed magneto-optical imaging. Unlike thin films with…
Active triggering and manipulation of ultrafast flux dynamics in superconductors are demonstrated in films of Nb. Controlled amounts of magnetic flux were injected from a point along the edge of a square sample, which at 2.5 K responds by…
We develop a fast numerical procedure for analysis of nonlinear and nonlocal electrodynamics of type-II superconducting films in transverse magnetic fields taking into account realistic boundary conditions. Using this procedure we explore…
Thickness uniformity is regarded as an important parameter in designing thin film devices. However, some applications based on films with non-uniform thickness have recently emerged, such as gas sensors and optimized materials based on the…
MgB2 tapes with high critical current have a significant technological potential, but can experience operational breakdown due to thermomagnetic instability. Using magneto-optical imaging the spatial structure of the thermomagnetic…
Magneto-optical imaging is used to visualize vortex avalanches in MgB2 films at 4K. Avalanches ranging from 50 to 50000 vortices were detected. The size distribution function has a clear peak whose position moves towards larger sizes as the…
Local magnetization measurements on 100 nm type-II superconducting Pb thin films show that flux penetration changes qualitatively with temperature. Small flux jumps at the lowest temperatures gradually increase in size, then disappear near…
At low temperatures the critical state in superconducting films can be unstable with respect to thermomagnetic dendritic avalanches. By numerical simulations of disk-shaped superconductors, we consider how the dynamics and morphology of the…
The influence of dendritic magnetic-flux penetration on the microwave response of superconducting MgB2 films is investigated by a coplanar resonator technique. The peculiar feature consists of jumps in the resonance curve, induced by vortex…
Magneto-optical imaging was used to observe dendritic flux avalanches connecting the outer and inner edges of a ring-shaped superconducting MgB2 film. Such avalanches create heated channels across the entire width of the ring, and inject…
We report a detailed comparison of experimental data and theoretical predictions for the dendritic flux instability, believed to be a generic behavior of type-II superconducting films. It is shown that a thermo-magnetic model published very…
Magneto-optical imaging was used to study a zero-field-cooled MgB2 film at 9.6K where in a slowly increasing field the flux penetrates by abrupt formation of large dendritic structures. Simultaneously, a gradual flux penetration takes…
Stability of the vortex matter -- magnetic flux lines penetrating into the material -- in type-II superconductor films is crucially important for their application. If some vortices get detached from pinning centres, the energy dissipated…
We have observed the occurrence of dendritic flux avalanches in an amorphous film of Mo$_{84}$Si$_{16}$. These events are understood to have a thermomagnetic origin and involve the abrupt penetration of bursts of magnetic flux taking place…
The dynamics of magnetic field penetration into thin-walled superconducting niobium cylinders is experimentally investigated. It is shown that magnetic field penetrates through the wall of a cylinder in a series of giant jumps with…
