We present specific-heat data on the type-II superconductors V3Si, LuNi2B2C and NbSe2 which were acquired with a low-temperature thermal analysis (DTA) technique. We compare our data with available literature data on these superconductors. In the first par ...
Flash memories based on nanoparticles (NPs) offer an attractive alternative for performance enhancement and size downscaling of non-volatile memory cells. In these devices, Coulomb blockade and quantized charging effects can be exploited at room temperatur ...
The nature of the pseudogap phase is a central problem in the effort to understand the high-transition-temperature (high-Tc) copper oxide superconductors. A fundamental question is what symmetries are broken when the pseudogap phase sets in, which occurs w ...
In the frame of the European Fusion Technology Programme, the Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe and the Centre de Recherches en Physique des Plasmas, CRPP, Villigen, develop a 70 kA current lead to demonstrate the feasibility of the usage of High Temperature Sup ...
The signature of the strong-coupling regime is unambiguously evidenced in a GaN-based microcavity (MC) above the polariton lasing threshold P-thr at room temperature through the observation of the upper polariton branch. The MC system exhibits a renormaliz ...
The temperature dependence of the conductivity is investigated as a function of boron doping in large-grained, degenerate polycrystalline ZnO films prepared by low-pressure chemical vapor deposition. Carrier transport in undoped and lightly doped films is ...
Strontium barium niobate (SrxBa1-xNb2O6, shortly SBN) is a solid solution system with tetragonal tungsten bronze crystal structure. It exhibits a ferroelectric phase with only one polar axis and a transition temperature depending on the Sr/Ba ratio. This t ...
Phase transitions in micro-, submicro-, and nanocrystalline NaNbO3 were investigated by temperature-tuning Raman spectroscopy and X-ray powder diffraction method. Three powders with different average particle size showed successive phase transitions within ...
Scientific conference paper We report thermopower and electrical resistance measurements of the high-temperature superconductor Bi2Sr2Ca1-xPrxCu2O8+delta (0 < x < 1) in a wide temperature range from 600 K to superconducting transition temperature (critical ...
The use of high temperature superconductor (HTS) materials in future fusion machines could increase the efficiency drastically, but strong boundary conditions exist. To outline the prospects, challenges and problems, first the benefit of using HTS material ...
