Investigations into the heterogeneous pinning properties of the vortex state created by partially nano-patterning single crystals of 2H-NbSe2 reveal an atypical magnetization response which is significantly drive dependent. Analysis of the…
A transport current distribution over a wide superconducting sheet is shown to strongly change in a presence of bulk magnetic screens of a soft magnet with a high permeability. Depending on the geometry, the effect may drastically suppress…
The critical current $I_c$ of single crystals of the iron pnictide superconductor BaFe$_2$(As$_{1-x}$P$_x$)$_2$, has been studied through measurements of magnetic hysteresis cycles. We show that the introduction of surface irregularities in…
Resistance in superconductors arises from the motion of vortices driven by flowing supercurrents or external electromagnetic fields and may be strongly affected by thermal or quantum fluctuations. The common expectation borne out in…
We demonstrate direct evidence of possible surface superconductivity on small, well-shaped MgB2 single crystals. Transport measurements in the range H < 1.6 Hc2^c, where Hc2^c is the bulk upper critical field for the c axis, show non-Ohmic…
Topological insulators are known to their metallic surface states, a result of strong-spin-orbital coupling, that show unique surface transport phenomenon. But these surface transports are buried in presence of metallic bulk conduction. We…
We have studied electrical transport properties of a high quality Bi2Sr2Ca2Cu3O10+x crystal below a superconducting critical temperature, Tc. In magnetic fields B parallel to the c-axis just above a voltage response onset resistance vs…
We show the results of two-terminal and four-terminal transport measurements on few-layer NbSe$_2$ devices at large current bias. In all the samples measured, transport characteristics at high bias are dominated by a series of resistance…
Transport critical current (Ic) was measured for Fe-sheathed MgB2 round wires. A critical current density of 5.3 x 10^4 A/cm^2 was obtained at 32K. Strong magnetic shielding by the iron sheath was observed, resulting in a decrease in Ic by…
Topological insulators are guaranteed to support metallic surface states on an insulating bulk, and one should thus expect that the electronic transport in these materials is dominated by the surfaces states. Alas, due to the high remaining…
Nanowires of two-dimensional (2D) crystals of type-II superconductor NbSe$_2$ prepared by electron-beam lithography were studied, focusing on the effect of the motion of Abrikosov vortices. We present magnetoresistance measurements on these…
Superconducting 2H-NbSe2 single crystals show intrinsic low pinning values. Therefore, they are ideal materials with which to explore fundamental properties of vortices. (V, I) characteristics are the experimental data we have used to…
Transport critical current, Ic, is usually defined in terms of a threshold electric field criterion, Ec, with the convention Ec = 1 microVolt/cm, chosen somewhat arbitrarily to provide "reasonably small" electric power dissipation in…
V(I) characteristics have been performed in a monocrystalline microbridge of $Bi[Pb]-2212$. The vortex phase diagram has been greatly investigated. Linear but non-ohmic Voltage(Current) (V(I)) curves with well defined critical current have…
In the mixed state of type II superconductors, vortices penetrate the sample and form a correlated system due to the screening of supercurrents around them. Interestingly, we can study this correlated system as a function of density and…
Topological surface states have been extensively observed via optics in thin films of topological insulators. However, in typical thick single crystals of these materials, bulk states are dominant and it is difficult for optics to verify…
If the critical current density Jc is very high for a superconductor, then estimating its value from transport measurements is not very easy. In such cases, the value of Jc, called Jcm for magnetic Jc, is usually obtained from the measured…
A systematic study of irreversible magnetization was performed in bulk Niobium after different surface treatments. Starting with smooth surfaces and abrading them, a strong increase of the critical current is observed up an apparent…
Transport of a Brownian particle moving along the axis of a three-dimensional asymmetric periodic tube is investigated in the presence of asymmetric unbiased forces. The reduction of the coordinates may involve not only the appearance of…
A percolation transition in the vortex state of a superconducting 2H-NbSe2 crystal is observed in the regime where vortices form a heterogeneous phase consisting of ordered and disordered domains. The transition is signaled by a sharp…
