Studied 100-atm O2-annealed RuSr2Gd1.5Ce0.5Cu2O10 (Ru-1222) compound crystallized in a tetragonal I4/mmm space group crystal structure. Thermo-gravemetric (TG) analysis of the compound showed the release of oxygen and breaking to metallic…
Vortex dynamics is strongly connected with the mechanisms responsible for the photon detection of superconducting devices. Indeed, the local suppression of superconductivity by photon absorption may trigger vortex nucleation and motion…
We construct a minimal theory describing the optical activity of a thin sheet of a twisted material, the simplest example of which is twisted bilayer graphene. We introduce the notion of "twisted electrical conductivity", which parametrizes…
Understanding and manipulating properties emerging at a surface or an interface require a thorough knowledge of structure-property relationships. We report a study of a prototype oxide system, La2/3Sr1/3MnO3 grown on SrTiO3(001), by…
We present a microscopic study of the quantum fluctuations of the superconducting order parameter in thin homogeneous superconducting wires at all temperatures below $T_C$. The rate of quantum phase slip processes determines the resistance…

Transition metal nitrides are a fascinating class of hard coating material that provide an excellent platform for investigating superconductivity and fundamental electron phonon interactions. In this work the structural morphological and…
In a recent paper [Phys. Rev. Lett. 97, 070401 (2006)] the transition rate of magnetic spin-flip of a neutral two-level atom trapped in the vicinity of a thick superconducting body was studied. In the present paper we will extend these…
We report on the superconducting properties of molybdenum nitride thin films grown by reactive DC sputtering at room temperature with a N2:Ar mixture. Thin films grown using 5 % N2 concentration display Tc = 8 K, which is gradually reduced…
We explore the growth of {\alpha}-Ta thin films ranging from ultra-thin (2 nm) to thick (250 nm) films grown by sputter epitaxy on c-plane sapphire substrates. We utilized 100 W power with a 32 mTorr sputter pressure at 650 {\deg} substrate…
We determine the thermal conductance of thin niobium (Nb) wires on a silica substrate in the temperature range of 0.1 - 0.6 K using electron thermometry based on normal metal-insulator-superconductor tunnel junctions. We find that at 0.6 K,…
