We have grown untwinned YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{7-\delta}$ (YBCO) films on (110) MgO substrates that were pre-annealed at high temperature in oxygen atmosphere. The annealing results in surface reconstruction with shallow facets, which induce the…
Superconducting thick films (200$\mu$m-300$\mu$m) of YBCO have been fabricated successfully on MgO substrates by a new approach. The precursor powders (YBa2Cu3O7-$\delta$(Y123)+0.1molY2BaCuO5(Y211)) are placed between two MgO (10mm x 10mm)…
We present a new experiment on YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-x} (YBCO) thin films using spatially resolved heavy ion irradiation. Structures consisting of a periodic array of strong and weak pinning channels were created with the help of metal masks. The…
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…
High energy x-ray diffraction is used to investigate the bulk oxygen ordering properties of YBa_2Cu_3O_{6+x}. Superstructures of Cu-O chains aligned along the b axis and ordered with periodicity ma, along the a axis have been observed. For…
We have grown and characterized 30 nm thick YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{7-\delta}$ (YBCO) films, deposited by pulsed laser deposition on both MgO (110) and SrTiO$_3$ (001) substrates, which induce opposite strain to the superconducting layer. By…
Pulsed NQR at the frequencies of 28-33 MHz has been used to study copper NQR spectra in YBa{2}Cu{3}O{7}, TmBa{2}Cu{3}O{7} and Y{0.9}Pr{0.1}Ba{2}Cu{3}O{7} compounds at temperatures of 4.2-200K. Quantitative analysis of the spectra has shown…
A rapid decrease in the critical current density (Jc) of YBa2Cu3O7-x (YBCO) films with increasing film thickness has been observed for multiple YBCO growth processes. While such behavior is predicted from 2D collective pinning models under…
We have studied the local structure around Co in YBa$_2$(Cu$_{1-x}$Co$_x$)$_3$O$_{7-\delta}$ thin films with three different concentrations: x=0.07, 0.10, 0.17, and in a PrBa$_2$(Cu$_{1-x}$Co$_x$)$_3$O$_{7-\delta}$ thin film of…
The results of fabrication and characterization of atomic structure of nanocrystalline thin layers of Y2O3 in cubic and monoclinic phases is reported. Experimental data demonstrate crystalline ordering in nanocrystalline films with average…
X-ray photoemission spectroscopy has been used to investigate the depth dependent crystal structures and chemical compositions of sequentially chemical-etched YBa2Cu3O7-d (YBCO) ultrathin film superconductors. In the near-interface region…
We have discovered two novel types of planar defects that appear in heteroepitaxial YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{7-\delta}$ (YBCO123) thin films, grown by pulsed-laser deposition (PLD) either with or without a La$_{2/3}$Ca$_{1/3}$MnO$_3$ (LCMO)…
It is known that solid-state reaction in high-pressure oxygen can stabilize high-oxidation phases of Y-Ba-Cu-O superconductors in powder form. We extend this superoxygenation concept of synthesis to thin films which, due to their large…
In underdoped cuprate high $T_{\mathrm{c}}$ superconductors, various local orders and symmetry breaking states, in addition to superconductivity, reside in the CuO$_2$ planes. The confinement of the CuO$_2$ planes can therefore play a…
Samples of superconducting composite (100-x)YBa2Cu3O7-{\delta} + xNi (x = 1, 2.5, 5, 7.5, 10 and 15 wt.%) were synthesized. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) images revealed that the grain size of YBCO reduces gradually as Ni content is…
Structural study on the photo-switching system Pr{0.55}(Ca{1-y}Sr y){0.45}MnO3 thin films on perovskite (011) substrate has been made with synchrotron radiation diffraction experiment. The insulating phase of y=0.20 sample was found to be…
YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{7-\delta}$ is a good candidate to systematically study high-temperature superconductivity by nanoengineering using advanced epitaxy. An essential prerequisite for these studies are coherently strained…
We used resonant elastic x-ray scattering at the Cu $L_3$ and Dy $M_5$ edges to investigate charge order in thin films of underdoped DyBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{6+x}$ (DyBCO) epitaxially grown on NdGaO$_3$ (110) substrates. The films show an…
We created local pinning modulations in YBCO films by means of confined high energy heavy ion irradiation. The high energy of the ions allows us to introduce nanometric size defects with a well defined anisotropy. The dose was chosen in…
The spin-orbit split white line, synchrotron X-ray spectra at the respective Cu and Ba L2,3 and Ba M4,5 edges in YBa2Cu3O7 crystal, powders, films and derivatives are compared to those for standard BaBr2 and CuO powders. The white line…
