Measurement of the penetration depth and coherence length of MgB2 in all directions using transmission electron microscopy

Janusz Andrzej Karpinski

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 ...

In layered superconductors, Josephson junctions may be formed within the unit cell1,2,3 as a result of sufficiently low inter-layer coupling. These intrinsic Josephson junction (iJJ) systems4 have attracted considerable interest for their application poten ...

This paper investigates the millimeter electromagnetic waves passing through a metal nanogap. Based upon the study of a perfect electrical conductor model, we show that the electric field enhancement inside the gap saturates as the gap size approaches zero ...

Transition from slow Abrikosov to fast moving Josephson vortices in iron pnictide superconductors

Philip Johannes Walter Moll

Iron pnictides are layered high Tc superconductors with moderate material anisotropy and thus Abrikosov vortices are expected in the mixed state. Yet, we have discovered a distinct change in the nature of the vortices from Abrikosov-like to Josephson-like ...

Development of a Millikelvin Scanning Tunneling Microscope for Applications in Ultra High Vacuum and High Magnetic Fields

Maximilian Assig

In this thesis we discuss the realization of a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) operating at temperatures below 20 mK. This is accomplished by attaching the STM to a dilution refrigerator. We can apply high magnetic fields up to 14 T perpendicular and 0 ...

Quantum size effects in ultrathin metallic islands

I-Po Hong

This thesis reports measurements concerning quantum size effects of single crystalline metallic islands by using low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and spectroscopy (STS). Different sample systems are presented in the following chapters. I ...

Scanning gate microscopy measurements on a superconducting single-electron transistor

Nico de Rooij, Kaspar Suter

We present measurements on a superconducting single-electron transistor (SET) in which the metallic tip of a low-temperature scanning force microscope is used as a movable gate. We characterize the SET through charge stability diagram measurements and comp ...
