Modeling of High-Frequency Electromagnetic Effects on an Ironless Inductive Position Sensor

Yves Perriard, Alessandro Danisi, Alessandro Masi

The ironless inductive position sensor (I2PS) is a five-coil air-cored structure that senses the variation of flux linkage between supply and sense coils and relates it to the linear position of a moving coil. In air-cored structures, the skin and proximit ...

All-oxide superconductor/ferroic hybrids

Arnaud Robert André Crassous

This short review focuses on interface interactions in hybrid heterostructures which combine high-temperature superconductors, ferromagnets and ferroelectrics. We specifically examine two different phenomena. One of them is electric-field effects at superc ...

Topological pumping in class-D superconducting wires

Marco Gibertini

We study adiabatic pumping at a normal metal/class-D superconductor hybrid interface when superconductivity is induced through the proximity effect in a spin-orbit coupled nanowire in the presence of a tilted Zeeman field. When the induced order parameter ...
