We study the applicability of magnetization and specific heat equations derived from a lowest-Landau-level (LLL) calculation, to the high-temperature superconducting (HTSC) materials of the YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{7-\delta}$ (YBCO) family. We find…
Measurements of the Hall effect and the resistivity on precisely-patterned YBCO thin films in magnetic fields B from 0.5 to 6 T oriented parallel to the sample crystallographic c axis reveal a sign reversal of the Hall coefficient for B <=…
The universal behavior of the continuous superconducting (glass) phase transition is studied in a YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{7-\delta}$ thin film. A new analysis technique for extracting critical exponents is developed, using current-voltage…
An epitaxial NdFeAs(O,F) thin film of 90 nm thickness grown by molecular beam epitaxy on MgO single crystal with Tc = 44.2 K has been investigated regarding a possible vortex glass-liquid tran-sition. The voltage-current characteristics…
We study dynamic fluctuation effects of $YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-\delta}$ thin films in zero field around $T_c$ by doing frequency-dependent microwave conductivity measurements at different powers. The length scales probed in the experiments are…
The flux noise spectrum and complex impedance for a 500 {\AA} thick YBCO film are measured and compared with predictions for two dimensional vortex fluctuations. It is verified that the complex impedance and the flux noise spectra are…
By means of the linear dynamic conductivity, inductively measured on epitaxial films between 30mHz and 30 MHz, the transition line $T_g (B)$ to generic superconductivity is studied in fields between B=0 and 19T. It follows closely the…
We carry out Monte Carlo simulations of the uniformly frustrated 3d XY model as a model for vortex line fluctuations in a high Tc superconductor. A density of vortex lines of f=1/25 is considered. We find two sharp phase transitions. The…
We present field effect measurements on discontinuous 2D thin films which are composed of a sub monolayer of nano-grains of Au, Ni, Ag or Al. Like other electron glasses these systems exhibit slow conductance relaxation and memory effects.…
The intermediate 3D XY scaling theory of superconductivity at zero and nonzero magnetic fields is developed, based only upon the dimensional hypothesis $B\sim (Length)^{-2}$. Universal as well as nonuniversal aspects of the theory are…
The strong coupling of superconductivity to the orthorhombic distortion in YBa2Cu3O7-d makes possible an analysis of the superconducting fluctuations without the necessity of subtracting any background. The present high-resolution…
The effect of thermal phase fluctuations (TPF's) on the ab-plane penetration depth, lambda(T), of thin YBa2Cu3O(7-delta) (YBCO) films is found to be much smaller than expected from the paradigm of cuprates as weakly-coupled 2D…
We report on the normal-superconducting phase transition in thick $\mathrm{YBa_{2}Cu_{3}O_{7-\delta}}$ films in zero magnetic field. We find significant finite-size effects at low currents even in our thickest films ($d = 3200$ \AA). Using…
Current-voltage $I-V$ curves have been carefully measured for YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{7-\delta}$ thin films by following different thermal or field annealing procedures. Although all data can be described quite well by the vortex-glass theory, it…
We have performed Monte Carlo simulations to determine current--voltage characteristics of two different vortex glass models in two dimensions. The results confirm the conclusions of earlier studies that there is a transition at $T=0$. In…
I-V characteristics of polycrystalline Y(1-x)CaxBa2Cu3O(7-{\delta}) samples (x=0.025 and 0.20) have been measured at different temperatures and magnetic fields in the range 0.1 T-6.9 T. The scaling behavior has been established for both…
We report the effect of the \emph{ab}-plane magnetic field $B$ up to $8\,\mathrm{T}$ on the resistivity $\rho(T)$ and fluctuation conductivity $\sigma'(T)$ in YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{7-\delta}$ thin films. As expected, up to $\sim 2.5\,\mathrm{T}$…
We have investigated the vortex-glass transition for the cuprate superconductor Nd2-xCexCuOy (NCCO) in the region of low temperatures (T < 4.4 K) and moderate up to high magnetic fields (3 T < B < 5 T) compared to the upper critical field…
We report on the temperature-dependent optical response of thin films of YBa2Cu3O7-{\delta} (YBCO) in the visible spectral range under cryogenic conditions. Specifically, we observe an increase in transmittance near the superconducting…
Dielectric relaxation and thermal expansion spectroscopy were made for thin polystyrene films in order to measure the temperature $T_{\alpha}$ corresponding to the peak in the loss component of susceptibility due to the $\alpha$-process and…
