Superconducting quantum interference at the atomic scale

A single spin in a Josephson junction can reverse the flow of the supercurrent by changing the sign of the superconducting phase difference across it. At mesoscopic length scales, these pi-junctions are employed in various applications, such as finding the ...

Disorder-induced electronic, magnetic, and optoelectronic properties of two-dimensional materials

Cheol Yeon Cheon

Technological advancement has been in cadence with material development by improving the purity of single crystals and, at the same time, controlling their imperfections. These capabilities have been especially vital for developing new technolo-gies based ...

Scanning SQUID microscopy in a cryogen-free dilution refrigerator

Philip Johannes Walter Moll, Maja Deborah Bachmann

We report a scanning superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) microscope in a cryogen-free dilution refrigerator with a base temperature at the sample stage of at least 30 mK. The microscope is rigidly mounted to the mixing chamber plate to opti ...

High field magnetization of FePS3

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Diane Virginie Marie Lançon

High field magnetization measurements in pulsed fields up to 65 T have been performed on FePS3, which is nominally a good example of a two-dimensional Ising-like antiferromagnet on a honeycomb lattice. Measurements with the field parallel to the moment dir ...

Continuously Fed Density Currents Over Porous Bed

Anton Schleiss, Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Sara Venuleo

Gravity currents impact significantly the environment and human's life. Understanding their internal structure and their dynamics is fundamental for modelling purposes. In this study we observe experimentally how bed porosity affects the dynamics of densit ...

Neutron spectroscopy in the layered quantum magnet SrCu₂(BO₃)₂ and in transition metal phosphorus trisulfides (MPS₃)

Diane Virginie Marie Lançon

Collective magnetic excitations are a fascinating aspect of condensed matter physics, where neutron scattering can provide valuable insight into the magnetic properties of physical realisations of model systems. This thesis focuses on the excitation spectr ...

EDIPO: The Test Facility for High-Current High-Field HTS Superconductors

Pierluigi Bruzzone, Kamil Sedlák, Davide Uglietti, Boris Stepanov, Rainer Wesche

The commissioning of the European DIPOle (EDIPO) test facility at the Center for Research in Plasma Physics in Villigen was completed in Spring 2015, and the first test of a 60-kA/12-T high-temperature superconductor (HTS) was carried out in June 2015. Use ...

Superconducting scanning tunneling microscopy tips in a magnetic field: Geometry-controlled order of the phase transition

Klaus Kern, Markus Etzkorn, Matthias Alexander Eltschka, Maximilian Assig

The properties of geometrically confined superconductors significantly differ from their bulk counterparts. Here, we demonstrate the geometrical impact for superconducting scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) tips, where the confinement ranges from the atom ...

Magnetic order in the 2D Heavy-Fermion system CePt2In7 studied by mu+SR

Marco Grioni, Kamil Sedlák, Martin Mansson, Krunoslav Prsa

The low-temperature microscopic magnetic properties of the quasi-2D heavy-fermion compound, CePt2In7 are investigated by using a positive muon-spin rotation and relaxation (mu+SR) technique. Clear evidence for the formation of a commensurate antiferromagne ...

High current superconductors for DEMO

Pierluigi Bruzzone, Kamil Sedlák, Boris Stepanov

In the assumption that DEMO will be an inductively driven tokamak, the number of load cycles will be in the range of several hundred thousands. The requirements for a new generation of Nb3Sn based high current conductors for DEMO are drafted starting from ...
