Thanks to recent scientific achievements, second generation high-temperature superconductor coated conductors (HTS-CCs) can carry enormous current densities with reduced losses. In addition, they are able to switch from a negligible resistivity state to a ...
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 ...
We investigate the mechanical properties of a doubly clamped, double-layer nanobeam embedded into an electromechanical system. The nanobeam consists of a highly pre-stressed silicon nitride and a superconducting niobium layer. By measuring the mechanical d ...
The optimally doped '122' iron-based superconductor Ba0.6K0.4Fe2As2 has been studied by Fe-57 Mossbauer spectroscopy versus temperature ranging from 4.2 K till 300 K with particular attention paid to the superconducting transition around 38 K. The spectra ...
This short review focuses on interface interactions in hybrid heterostructures which combine high-temperature superconductors, ferromagnets and ferroelectrics. We specifically examine two different phenomena. One of them is electric-field effects at superc ...
We present femtosecond pump-probe spectroscopy studies of time-resolved optical reflectivity of all-oxide YBa2Cu3O7/La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 (YBCO/LSMO) superconductor/ferromagnet (S/F) bilayers consisting of a 100-nm-thick YBCO base layer and either 10 or 35 nm LSM ...
The cuprate high temperature superconductors exhibit a pronounced trend in which the superconducting transition temperature Tc increases with the number of CuO2 planes n in the crystal structure. We compare the magnetic excitation spectrum of Bi2+xSr2-xCuO ...
We summarize previous field effect studies in high-T (c) cuprates and then discuss our method to smoothly tune the carrier concentration of a cuprate film over a wide range using an applied electric field. We synthesized epitaxial one-unit-cell thick films ...
This paper reports on experimental and modelling activities aimed to identify E(I,T) characteristics of commercial YBCO High Temperature Superconductor Coated Conductors (HTS-CCs). The aforesaid approach is applied to investigate the HTS-CCs behavior in th ...

In the framework of a collaboration, CRPP (Centre de Recherches en Physique des Plasmas) and WEKA AG have developed high-temperature superconductor (HTS) current leads for currents in the range of 3 to 30 kA, which are suitable for industrial fabrication. ...
