Josephson-junction arrays are ideal model systems to study a variety of phenomena such as
phase transitions, frustration effects, vortex dynamics and chaos. In this review, we focus on …

In this review I discuss the application of scanning magnetic imaging to fundamental studies
of superconductors, concentrating on three scanning magnetic microscopies—scanning …

The microstructure of bulk samples of the copper-oxide high-temperature superconductors
commonly is describable in terms of anisotropic grains of stoichiometric material separated …

Cascades are self-amplifying processes triggered by feedback mechanisms that may cause
a substantial part of a macroscopic system to change its phase in response to a relatively …

A class of uniformly frustrated xy models which describe the behavior of a Josephson-
junction array in a transverse magnetic field is considered. The frustration f is the fraction of …

We present a theory for the diamagnetic response of weakly linked superconducting
clusters. In the model, superconducting grains, each small compared to a penetration depth …

The nonlinear I− V characteristics of thin high-sheet-resistance Hg-Xe alloy films are
examined within the context of the Kosterlitz-Thouless theory of the superconducting …

The aim of this review article is to present recent advances in the theory of the dynamics of
modulated phases in the Frenkel-Kontorova model. This theory is motivated through two …

Abstract Systems of superconducting islands placed on normal metal films offer tunable
realizations of two-dimensional (2D) superconductivity,; they can thus elucidate open …
