We combine transport measurements and magneto-optical imaging in order to study vortex
motion in Pb samples with a square lattice of asymmetric pinning potentials formed by two …

We demonstrate the potential for manipulating the ultrafast dynamics of thermomagnetic flux
avalanches (TMA) in superconducting films with soft magnetic stripes deposited on the film …

Flux avalanches are known to occur as a consequence of thermomagnetic instabilities.
Some of their fingerprints are jumps in magnetization curves, or a paramagnetic reentrance …

Hybrid magnetic arrays embedded in superconducting films are ideal systems to study the
competition between different physical (such as the coherence length) and structural length …

Dendritic flux avalanches triggered by thermomagnetic instabilities in Nb superconducting
films have been limited by inclusion of circular holes of different diameters produced by …

Propagating fingerlike patterns in type-II superconductors are studied through a boundary
layer model that takes into account the coupling with the temperature of the sample. By …

This thesis results from a systematic study of the interactions between penetrated vortices
and pinning centers carried out on structured superconductors films of YBCO, Nb and Pb. A …

The origin of the anomalous diagonal flux penetration is investigated in Nb square
superconducting networks. The magnetic field dependence and heat transfer coefficient …

Anisotropic flux penetration into square superconducting networks of Nb are studied by a
magneto-optical imaging method. Their dependences on the lattice constant, the line width …

Increase in critical currents of hybrid superconducting samples in the presence of arrays of
defects and applied magnetic field are studied numerically via the Time Dependent …
