The Superconducting Fault Current Limiter (SFCL) appears to be a device of great interest to efficiently build the electrical grid of tomorrow. With the recent progress made by the superconducting wires manufacturers, there are needs coming from the indust ...
The Seebeck and Nernst coefficients S and ν of the cuprate superconductor YBa2Cu3Oy (YBCO) were measured in a single crystal with doping p=0.12 in magnetic fields up to H=28T. Down to T=9 K, ν becomes independent of field by H 30T, showing that superconduc ...
X-ray magnetic circular dichroism provides evidence of an out-of-plane spin moment in undoped and doped cuprates. In La2CuO4 this moment is related to the canting of the antiferromagnetically ordered Cu2+ spins caused by the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interacti ...
We have studied experimentally the nonequilibrium currents (NECs) induced by sweeping either the magnetic field B or the carrier density nS of a two-dimensional electron system (2DES). The gated 2DES resided in a modulation-doped GaAs/AlxGa1−xAs heterostru ...
Molecularly linked gamma-Fe2O3 nanoparticles chains arc produced from superparamagnetic gamma-Fe2O3 nanoparticles under zero applied magnetic field. The chains exhibit ferromagnetic interaction between gamma-Fe2O3 nanoparticles that compose them as evidenc ...
We report specific-heat measurements at magnetic fields up to 20 T on the recently discovered superconductor SmFeAsO0.85F0.15. The B-T diagram of a polycrystalline SmFeAsO0.85F0.15 sample with T-c=46 K was investigated. The temperature dependence of B-c2 w ...
In this thesis we study various effects of magnetism in proximity structures, composed of superconducting electrodes in contact with a normal metal. Magnetism can be present in the system through the Zeeman and the orbital coupling. Proximity structures of ...
This paper compares the speed and accuracy of two commercial packages based on the finite element method (FEM) for calculating the AC losses in high temperature superconductors (HTS). The softwares investigated in this paper were COMSOL Multiphysics and FL ...
A magnetic field sensor for measuring a direction of a magnetic field in a plane comprises two sensing structures (1A 1B) that can be operated as a rotating Hall element. The two Hall elements are rotated in discrete steps in opposite directions. Such a ma ...
High-resolution neutron inelastic scattering experiments in applied magnetic fields have been performed on La1.895Sr0.105CuO4 (LSCO). In zero field, the temperature dependence of the low-energy peak intensity at the incommensurate momentum transfer Q(IC)=( ...
