The analysis of tunneling experiments showing the pseudogap type behavior is carried out based on the idea of the renormalization of density of states due to the inter-electron interaction in the Cooper channel (superconducting fluctuations…
The results of dc, microwave and magnetic measurements of YBCO bicrystal junctions on r-cut sapphire are presented. The junctions with high resistance 10-20 W and IcRN= 1-2 mV and tolerance of RNS around 30% on chip allow to create…
Intrinsic c-axis tunnelling in the superconducting state has been measured in zero and finite fields in small mesa structures fabricated on the surface of 2212-BSCCO single crystals. The temperature dependence of the zero-field critical…
The dynamics of transient current distributions in superconducting YBCO thin films were investigated during and immediately following an external field ramp, using high-speed (real-time) Magneto-Optical Imaging and calculation of dynamic…
Measurements of conductance spectra in a superconductor - topological insulator - normal metal thin film junctions of NbN-$\rm Bi_2Se_3$-Au are reported. Junctions with ex-situ and in-situ prepared $\rm NbN-Bi_2Se_3$ interfaces were…
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 c-axis transport properties of a high-pressure synthesized PrFeAsO0.7 single crystal are studied using s-shaped junctions. Resistivity anisotropy of about 120 detected at 50 K shows the presence of strong anisotropy in the electronic…
Proximity effect and pair tunneling models are applied as alternative scenarios to explain the recently measured $ab$-plane and $c$-axis components of the superfluid tensor in Copper-Oxide superconductors which contain chains, such as…
A method to measure the electrical connectivity between square superconducting plates joined by weak link interfaces is presented. It is based on observation of lines where the flow of critical current abruptly changes direction due to the…
In type-II superconductors, in the regime of very high applied current density, an abrupt transition is experimentally observed from the mixed state to a highly dissipative regime, probably the normal state. This provokes a high voltage…
The current-voltage characteristics of Au/InOx/Pb tunnel junctions exhibit peculiar zero-bias anomalies. At low temperature the zero-bias resistance attains values that are smaller than the normal state resistance by a factor that often…
Transport measurements in ramp-type junctions of $YBa_2Cu_3O_y-SrRuO_3-YBa_2Cu_3O_y$ with $T_c$ values of either 80-90 K or 60-70 K are reported. In both type of junctions but without a barrier ("shorts"), the supercurrent densities at 4.2…
We have investigated the mechanism at the origin of the infra-red radiation emitted by a biased tunnel junction by detecting photons at frequencies $\nu<eV/h$. To address this regime, the bias voltage $V$ exceeds one volt and the potential…
We have investigated the transport properties of an insulating sub-micrometric YBa2Cu3O7-d bridge, patterned on a thin film. As expected for a variable-range-hopping insulator, transport is found non linear. The reduced dimension allows for…
Electronic transport properties of Au nano-structure are investigated using both experimental and theoretical analysis. Experimentally, stable Au nanowires were created using mechanically controllable break junction in air, and simultaneous…
We report measurements of the temperature dependent components of the magnetic penetration depth {\lambda}(T) in single crystal samples of YBa_2Cu_4O_8 using a radio frequency tunnel diode oscillator technique. We observe a downturn in…
We consider the problem of c-axis transport in double-layered cuprates, in particular with reference to Bi$_{2}$Sr$_{2}$CaCu$_{2}$O$_{8+\delta}$ compounds. We exploit the effect of the two barriers on the thermal and tunnel transport. The…
A superconducting transition in the temperature dependence of the ab-plane resistivity of underdoped YBa_2Cu_3O_{6+x} crystals in the range T_c<30 K has been investigated. Unlike the case of samples with the optimal level of doping, the…
The effect of dc electrical stress and breakdown on Josephson and quasiparticle tunneling in Nb/Al/AlOx/Nb junctions with ultrathin AlOx barriers typical for applications in superconductor digital electronics has been investigated. The…
A method for measuring the electrical connectivity between parts of a rectangular superconductor was developed for weak links making an arbitrary angle with the long side of the sample. The method is based on magneto-optical observation of…
