We report the transient optical pump-probe reflectivity measurements on single and double layer cuprate single crystals and thin films of ten different stoichiometries. We find that with sufficiently low fluence the relaxation time (tau(R)) of all samples ...
For describing the E-J relation of high-Tc superconductors (HTS) in power applications, where the applied current I is generally limited by Ic, the critical state model, a piecewise linear generalization, or a simple power-law of the type E=Ec(J/Jc)^n are ...
This thesis is focused on the modelling of superconducting materials, and in particular, high-temperature superconducting materials. This work is divided in two parts: first, the dynamic magnetic field mapping obtained by measurements is used in order to r ...
The reduction of static heat load in superconducting magnet systems is of great importance because of reduction of refrigeration power and operational costs. The major elements that determine the heat load are the current leads. The use of high temperature ...
The ac loss of superconducting composite depends strongly on coupling between superconducting filaments via the resistive matrix. The established technique for loss reduction using twisted filaments relies on the decoupling of the filaments below a critica ...
We report on the ab-plane optical reflectance of an iodine-intercalated Bi1.9Pb0.1Sr2CaCu2O8+delta single crystal in the 80-40000 cm(-1) (10 meV-5 eV) frequency range and at temperatures between 10 and 300 K. As compared to the iodine-free Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+de ...
Superconducting power cables are one of the most promising energy applications of high-temperature superconductors, Losses in superconducting power cables are mainly due to AC, thermal and dielectric effects. The interplay of cable geometry, operating cond ...
We used a pump-probe technique to measure the transient change of optical reflectivity of both La2-xSrxCuO4, of various dopings, and slightly underdoped YBa2Cu3O7-x and NdBa2Cu3O7-x thin films. For the La2-xSrxCuO4 films, our data demonstrate the coexisten ...
The ab-plane optical properties of the high-temperature superconductor Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8 are anisotropic in both the normal and the superconducting state. Consistent with the orthorhombic structure, the principal axes lie along the a and b crystallographic axe ...
We report measurements made on hybrid arrays consisting of superconducting wires along one direction of a square geometry and Josephson junctions along the perpendicular direction. The differential resistance Rd across the array as a function of normalized ...
