Detailed measurements of the critical current density jc of YBa2Cu3O7 films grown by pulsed laser deposition reveal the increase of jc as function of the filmthickness. Both this thickness dependence and the field dependence of the critical…

The current-induced dissipation in YBCO grain boundary tunnel junctions has been measured between 4.2 K and 300 K. It is found that the resistance of 45 degree (100)/(110) junctions decreases linearly by a factor of four when their…

We develop a general theory to account self-consistently for self-field effects upon the average transport critical current density Jc of a flat type-II superconducting strip in the mixed state when the bulk pinning is characterized by a…

A large decrease is observed in the critical current density of YBCO coated conductors (CC) and related compounds when a strong perpendicular magnetic field is applied. While measurements are generally carried out at 77K only, here we…

We have studied a three-unit-cell-thick YBa2Cu3O7-x (YBCO) superconducting film grown on a slightly vicinal SrTiO3 substrate that was polished from the (001) plane by a small miscut angle (less than 0.5 degrees). This produced, on its…

We have performed a detailed study of the tunneling spectra of bicrystal grain boundary junctions (GBJs) fabricated from the HTS YBCO, BSCCO, LSCO, and NCCO. In all experiments the tunneling direction was along the CuO planes. With the…

Critical fluctuations have been studied in the microwave conductivity of Bi_2Sr_2CaCu_2O_(8+\delta), Bi_2Sr_2Ca_2Cu_3O_(10+delta), and YBa_2Cu_3O_(7-delta) thin films above T_c. It is found that a consistent analysis of the real and…

The temperature and field dependence of harmonics in voltage $V_n=V'_n-iV"_n$ using the screening technique have been measured for $\mathrm{Y}\mathrm{Ba}_{2}\mathrm{Cu}_3\mathrm{O}_{7-\delta}$ superconducting thin films. Using the Sun model…

Understanding the nature of grain boundary (GB) characteristics in combination with creating low-energy GBs by modifying the processing conditions, so-called GB engineering, is of great importance for controlling and reducing the defect…

Soft-solid molecular crystals consist of crystalline grains and fluid grain boundaries (GB) that enhance grain binding and transport of Li+ ions between the grains. The total ionic conductivity consists of ion migration in both the grains…

We report the influence of crystalline defects introduced by 6 MeV $^{16}$O$^{3+}$ irradiation on the critical current densities J$_c$ and flux creep rates in 1.3 $\mu$m thick GdBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{7-d}$ coated conductor produced by…

Using a $30\,\mathrm{keV}$ focused He ion beam (He-FIB) with a wide range of irradiation doses $D=100$ to $1000\,\mathrm{ions/nm}$ we fabricated Josephson and resistive barriers within microbridges of epitaxially grown single crystalline…

We report here that magnetic fields of almost 34 T, far above the upper 24 T limit of Nb3Sn, can be generated using a multifilament round wire conductor made of the high temperature cuprate superconductor Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8-x (Bi-2212). A…

A self-consistent model is developed for the surface and bulk states of thin Y_{1-y}Ca_yBa_2Cu_3O_{7-\delta} (YCBCO) films. The dispersions of the chain and plane layers are modelled by tight-binding bands, and the electronic structure is…

We have performed V-I measurements on a thin film YBa2Cu3O7 4^o [001] tilt low angle grain boundary over an extensive range of temperature and field, verifying the presence of a linear characteristic. We report on the occurrence of the…

We fabricate high-quality c-axis oriented epitaxial YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{7-x}$ films with 15% of yttrium atoms replaced by terbium (YTBCO) and study their electrical properties. The Tb substitution reduces the charge carrier density resulting…

We present the results of molecular dynamics modeling on the structural properties of grain boundaries (GB) in thin polycrystalline films. The transition from crystalline boundaries with low mismatch angle to amorphous boundaries is…

Ultracold and quantum degenerate gases held near conductive surfaces can serve as sensitive, high resolution, and wide-area probes of electronic current flow. Previous work has imaged transport around grain boundaries in a gold wire by…

In order to control the grain structure of multi-crystalline (mc) silicon during directional solidification, the development process of grain boundaries (GBs) with respect to the temperature gradient should be understood. A phase-field…

The critical current density of a superconducting film can be easily determined by an inductive and contactless method. Driving a sinusoidal current in a single coil placed in front of a superconducting sample, a non zero third harmonic…
