Magnetic flux can penetrate a type-II superconductor in the form of Abrikosov vortices (also
called flux lines, flux tubes, or fluxons) each carrying a quantum of magnetic flux phi 0= h/2e …

Perovskites are a huge family of compounds to which the natural titanium mineral CaTiO3 is
the common ancestor. The cubic structure looks apparently simple, but the variety of metal …

The anisotropy of the high-temperature superconductors has strong impact on their transport
properties in the mixed state. We have performed a comparative study of the Nernst …

The classical Bardeen–Cooper–Schrieffer and Eliashberg theories of the electron–phonon-
mediated superconductivity are based on the Migdal theorem, which is an assumption that …

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 …

In this article we report on the identification of different pinning regimes in epitaxial Bi 2 Sr 2
Ca 2 Cu 3 O 1 0+ δ thin films by means of the scaling behavior of resistive transitions in …

We study the temperature dependence of the resistivity as a function of magnetic field in
superconducting transition (Tconset–TcR= 0) region for different Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+ δ …

Resistive transitions of an epitaxial Bi 2 Sr 2 Ca Cu 2 O 8+ δ thin film were measured in
various magnetic fields (H‖ c), ranging from 0 to 22.0 T. Rounded curvatures of low …

There are growing numbers of experimental evidences that the self-field critical currents, J c
(sf, T), are a new instructive tool to investigate fundamental properties of superconductors …

Abstract Y 3 Ba 5 Cu 8 O 18 (Y-358) and Y 3 Ba 5 Ca 2 Cu 8 O 18 (YCa-358) compounds
were prepared by the so-called sol–gel method. The effect of doping Ca atoms into the Y 3 …
