We demonstrate that images of flux vortices in a superconductor taken with a transmission electron microscope can be used to measure the penetration depth and coherence length in all directions at the same temperature and magnetic field. This is particular ...
This thesis deals with femtosecond broadband spectroscopy in the visible regime, which is used to study strongly correlated electron systems. The materials that were studied are high-temperature cuprate superconductors of various dopings and the charge-den ...
Coated conductors could be promising materials for the fabrication of the large magnet systems of future fusion devices. Two prototype conductors (flat cables in steel conduits), each about 2 m long, were manufactured using coated conductor tapes (4 mm wid ...
A much-needed update on complex high-temperature superconductors, focusing on materials aspects; this timely book coincides with a recent major break-through of the discovery of iron-based superconductors. It provides an overview of materials aspects of hi ...
We have used scanning micro x-ray diffraction to characterize different phases in superconducting KxFe2-ySe2 as a function of temperature, unveiling the thermal evolution across the superconducting transition temperature (T-c similar to 32 K), phase separa ...
Electronic spin and orbital (dd) excitation spectra of (CaxLa1−x )(Ba1.75−xLa0.25+x)Cu3Oy samples are measured by resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS). In this compound, Tc of samples with identical hole dopings is strongly affected by the Ca/Ba subs ...
The interplay of superconductivity and magnetism is investigated for systems with dimensions ranging from the mesoscopic to the atomic scale by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) at millikelvin temperatures and by numerical calculations. Based on geometri ...
The large size of the magnets for DEMO calls for very large operating current in the forced flow conductor. A plain extrapolation from the superconductors in use for ITER is not adequate to fulfill the technical and cost requirements. The proposed DEMO TF ...
The best performing HTS conductors are available in the form of thin tapes with operating current in the range of 200 A at the operating conditions. To realize conductors with high current carrying capability, in the range of several tens of kA, a large nu ...
A review of the magnetism in the parent compounds of the iron-based superconductors is given based on the transmission Mossbauer spectroscopy of Fe-57 and Eu-151. It was found that the 3d magnetism is of the itinerant character with varying admixture of th ...
