The suitability of NbRe as a promising material for the design of Superconducting Single
Photon Detectors is investigated in order to lower both the minimum detectable photon …

Understanding the behaviour of vortices under nanoscale confinement in superconducting
circuits is important for the development of superconducting electronics and quantum …

Developing the earlier results of Aslamazov et al (1986 Sov. Phys. JETP 64 1051) we
perform a detailed study of the superconducting properties of a bilayer consisting of highly …

In this paper we review some recent results obtained on superconducting/ferromagnetic
(S/F) structures when measuring the dynamic instabilities of the vortex lattice at high driving …

We study the flux flow state in superconducting materials characterized by rather strong
intrinsic pinning, such as Nb, NbN, and nanostructured Al thin films, in which we drag the …

Thermal fluctuations in hybrid superconductor/ferromagnetic NbN/NiCu bilayers, as well as
in pure superconducting NbN, two-dimensional (2D), nanostripes, have been investigated in …

By using nanolithography and a soft etching procedure, we have realized Y Ba 2 Cu 3 O 7−
x/La 0.7 Sr 0.3 MnO 3 (YBCO/LSMO) nanowires, with cross sections down to 100× 50 nm 2 …

The dynamic instability of the moving vortex lattice at high driving currents in NbN/CuNi-
based and NbN nanostripes designed for optical detection has been studied. By applying …

Thermodynamic fluctuations in superconductors have been studied for many decades
because they influence basically all properties of a superconductor, eg conductivity …

We investigate the vortex ratchet effects in a superconducting asymmetric ring-shaped NbN
device. Through transport measurements, we find that the rectified dc voltages are …
