The subject of this thesis is the growth and analysis of high temperature superconductor (HTSC) films and the study of their electronic structure and properties. In particular, the effect of epitaxial strain is investigated, predominantly by means of in-si ...
Though the high superconducting transition temperature (Tc) is the most interesting technological aspect of high temperature superconductors, the complex way in which the spin, lattice and electronic degrees of freedom interplay, makes them of the highest ...
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 ...
In this thesis I report on the unique novel possibilities offered by combining pulsed laser deposition (PLD) film growth of high temperature superconductors with angle integrated and angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy (PES and ARPES). The originalit ...
The performance of Monin-Obukhov similarity (MOS) theory has been investigated for four types of events of transient physical processes in the stable nocturnal boundary layer during the Cooperative Atmosphere-Surface Exchange Study-99 (CASES-99). These fou ...
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 ...
This thesis is devoted to a theoretical study of high-temperature superconductivity from the viewpoint of a doped Mott insulator. To this end, the square-lattice t-J model is analyzed by variational and mean-field approaches. The thesis focuses on the cons ...
Disorder has a strong influence on the spectral properties of the Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+x high-T-c superconductor, both in the normal and in the superconducting state. High-resolution photoemission reveals a progressive quasiparticle suppression with increasing di ...
Angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy reveals very surprising strain-induced effects on the electronic band dispersion of epitaxial La2-xSrxCuO4-delta thin films. In strained films we measure a band that crosses the Fermi level (E-F) well before the Br ...
Ferromagnetism was found to coexist with superconductivity in Dy-doped BiPbSrCaCuO-2212 single crystals up to the superconducting critical temperature T-c similar to 80 X. Several experimental tests indicated that the phenomenon is intrinsic to the entire ...
