Ag-sheathed (Bi,Pb)2Sr2Ca2Cu3O10 tapes have been developed with a special filament configuration that can be of great interest when a magnetic field is applied to the tape at a significant angle with respect to the a–b planes of the superconductor. The fab ...
We report on the ab-plane optical reflectance of an iodine-intercalated Bi1.9Pb0.1Sr2CaCu2O8+delta single crystal in the 80-40000 cm(-1) (10 meV-5 eV) frequency range and at temperatures between 10 and 300 K. As compared to the iodine-free Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+de ...
The ab-plane optical properties of the high-temperature superconductor Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8 are anisotropic in both the normal and the superconducting state. Consistent with the orthorhombic structure, the principal axes lie along the a and b crystallographic axe ...
We present the resistivity measurements on single crystals of Sr2RuO4-delta, grown by the flux technique. We discuss the striking, linear temperature dependence of resistivity that persists up to similar to 1050 K. The superconductivity in this system is c ...
Superconducting power cables are one of the most promising energy applications of high-temperature superconductors, Losses in superconducting power cables are mainly due to AC, thermal and dielectric effects. The interplay of cable geometry, operating cond ...
We show that the average lattice disorder in YBa2Cu3O6.9 films grown by ion-beam sputtering is homogeneous and can be quantified by introducing the lattice coherence length rc that is extracted from the width of X-ray diffraction rocking curves. The superc ...
We discuss the striking changes of the superconducting properties of YBa2Cu3O6.9 films to the homogeneous lattice disorder, induced by varying growth temperatures: Tc decreases with increasing disorder, while the width of the resistive transition and the n ...
A wide range of photodetectors has been investigated, at various wavelengths and in various time domain operating conditions (from low frequency modulated cw sources to pulsed sources). The most promising devices, which have been realized, optimized (by us ...
Cobalt-doping of Bi2Sr2CaCu2Ox beyond a critical level of 1.5-1.7 at % produces both a large decrease in the superconducting transition critical temperature and all of the classic symptoms of Anderson localization. These include: a negative slope of the ab ...
We report on striking sensitivity of the superconducting properties of ion-beam sputtered YBa2Cu3O6.9 films to the lattice disorder (induced by varying growth temperatures). Tc decreases with increasing disorder, while the width of the resistive transition ...
