Superconductors of type-II are partially penetrated by magnetic flux, where the pinning of flux tubes constitutes a memory that gives rise to a hysteresis. However, the hysteresis gradually disappears when a transport current approaches the critical curren ...
We use a dual channel digital lock-in to perform electrical measurement of AC losses at power frequencies. A DC magnetic field between 2 and 400 mT is applied with a varying angle from parallel to perpendicular to the tape surface, thus having a complete v ...
The temperature dependence of the critical current density has been studied in magnetic fields up to 12 T for Bi-2212/Ag round wires. In short specimens critical current densities of more than 10000 A/cm(2) have been achieved at 20 K and B = 8 T. In the ca ...
The present dissertation considers the capabilities, limitations and possible extensions of modelling the hysteresis that is exhibited by type-II superconductors, especially those with high critical temperature. Superconductors of type-II, including high t ...
In this paper we report some of the most recent developments of silversheathed (Bi,Pb)2Sr2Ca2Cu3O10 (Bi-2223) tapes that are currently under analysis in view of the potential future applications of these conductors. Various attempts for improving the tape ...
Using the anisotropic Hall effect in a sub-micron lithographically well-defined two-dimensional electron system we measure the stray field of individual ferromagnetic nanoparticles in tilted magnetic fields. Our model calculations and experimental data sho ...
We report on efficient, narrow linewidth exciton recombination in GaAs/AlGaAs V-groove quantum wire light-emitting diodes at room temperature. The high efficiency is due to a selective carrier injection mechanism resulting in an estimated internal quantum ...
Bismuth-based layered compounds have been considered during the last years as interesting materials fur high temperature piezoelectric applications, due to their stability and wide thermal range of the ferroelectric activity. The high electrical conductivi ...
Sol-gel processing parameters of Pb0.99Zr0.55Sn0.37Ti0.06Nb0.02O3 thin films were studied. Effects of H2O, HNO3 and formamide additives on solution gelation and film properties were investigated. Thin films were prepared on Ti/Pt and Ta/Pt metallized Si su ...
An identification method for Preisach-type models of hysteresis is presented. By using a phenomenological Preisach-type model for hysteresis we can obtain an exact model for the magnetisation hysteresis in the cases of tapes with strip and with elliptical ...
