We present harmonic generation measurements of the intrinsic nonlinear current density $j_2$ of YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{7-\delta}$ (YBCO) films at temperatures close the $T_c$. Experiments on a range of different quality samples allow us to…
Metal-insulator transition is observed in the La0.8Sr0.2MnO3 thin films with thickness larger than 5 unit cells. Insulating phase at lower temperature appeared in the ultrathin films with thickness ranging from 6 unit cells to 10 unit cells…
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…
The effect of annealing on the basal-plane electrical resistivity of the YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{7-\delta}$ single crystals is studied in a broad range of oxygen contents. Within the framework of s-d scattering of electrons by phonons, an increase…
2G high temperature superconducting (HTS) wires, YBCO coated conductors, perform a better carrying current capability, which is potentially applied in the manufacture of HTS magnets. This paper presents the experimental results of the…
A bulk polycrystalline sample of YBa_{2}Cu_{3}O_{7-\delta} (\delta \approx 0.1) has been irradiated by \gamma-rays with ^{60}Co source. Non-monotonic behavior of T_c (defined as the temperature at which normal resistance is halved) with…
High-temperature superconducting YBa2Cu3O7-d (YBCO) thin-film detectors with improved responsivities were developed for fast time-domain measurements in the THz frequency range. YBCO thin films of 30 nm thickness were patterned to micro-…
We have investigated the resistive response of high Tc thin films submitted to a high density of current. For this purpose, current pulses were applied into bridges made of Nd(1.15)Ba(1.85)Cu3O7 and Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8. By recording the time…
We have measured the penetration depth of overdoped Y0.9Ca0.1Ba2Cu3O7-delta (Ca-YBCO) thin films using two different methods. The change of the penetration depth as a function of temperature has been measured using the parallel plate…
We report hole and electron doping in La-doped YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_y$(YBCO) thin films synthesized by pulsed laser deposition technique and subsequent \emph{in-situ} postannealing in oxygen ambient and vaccum. The $n$-type samples show a…
Doping is one of the most relevant paths to tune the functionality of cuprates, it determines carrier density and the overall physical properties of these impressive superconducting materials. We present an oxygen doping study of…
High temperature superconductors, especially YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{7-\delta}$ (YBCO), are considered a key enabling technology towards a clean energy future. Hole doping in YBCO is a prerequisite for the emergence of its unchallenged…
An abrupt metal-insulator transition (MIT) was observed in VO2 thin films during the application of a switching voltage pulse to two-terminal devices. Any switching pulse over a threshold voltage for the MIT of 7.1 V enabled the device…
Spatially-resolved studies of a YBaCuO thin film bridge using electron probe microanalysis (EPMA), low-temperature scanning electron microscopy (LTSEM), and magneto-optical flux visualization (MO) have been carried out. Variations in…
We study computationally and experimentally the propagation of chemical pulses in complex geometries.The reaction of interest, CO oxidation, takes place on single crystal Pt(110) surfaces that are microlithographically patterned; they are…
Based on experimental results, this work proposes the influence of the Oxygen order present in the Ortho-II superstructure of YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{7-\delta}$ (YBCO), on the final ordering of Oxygens in its Orthorhombic phase for $\delta$…
The effect of thermal fluctuations on spin-transfer switching has been studied for a broad range of time scales (sub-ns to seconds) in a model system, a uniaxial thin film nanomagnet. The nanomagnet is incorporated into a spin-valve…
We study superconducting transition temperature ($T_c$) of oxygen-doped double-layer high-temperature superconductors YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{6+\delta}$ (0 $\le$ $\delta$ $\le$ 1) as a function of the oxygen dopant concentration ($\delta$) and…
The ultrafast photoinduced insulator-metal transition in VO2 is studied at different temperatures and excitation fluences using multi-THz probe pulses. The spectrally resolved mid-infrared response allows us to trace separately the dynamics…
The electronic interconnections in the state-of-the-art integrated circuit manufacturing have been scaled down to the micron or sub-micron scale. This results in a dramatic increase in the current density passing through interconnections,…
