Amorphous materials such as glass, polymer and amorphous alloy have broad applications
ranging from daily life to extreme conditions due to their unique properties in elasticity …

During the last two decades, vortex structural transitions in type-II superconductors have
been the subject of a considerable amount of theoretical and experimental studies. This …

Manipulating individual vortices in a deterministic way is challenging; ideally, manipulation
should be effective, local, and tunable in strength and location. Here, we show that vortices …

We use scanning superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) microscopy to
investigate the behavior of vortices in the presence of twin boundaries in the pnictide …

The glass-like vortex distribution in pulsed laser deposited YBa2Cu3O7− x thin films is
observed by scanning superconducting quantum interference device microscopy and …

Coplanar microwave resonators made of 330 nm-thick superconducting YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7
have been realized and characterized in a wide temperature (T, 2–100 K) and magnetic field …

Microwave resonators with high quality factors have enabled many recent breakthroughs
with superconducting qubits and photon detectors, typically operated in shielded …

We present very low temperature scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy (STM/S)
measurements in W-based amorphous superconducting nanodeposits grown using a metal …

Key questions for any superconductor include: what is its maximum dissipation‐free
electrical current (its 'critical current') and can this be used to extract fundamental …

Universal scaling behaviour in superconductors has significantly elucidated fluctuation and
phase transition phenomena in these materials. However, universal behaviour for the most …
