Electromagnetic Modelling of Superconducting Sensor Designs
… Device (SQUID) magnetometers made of YBCO (YBa2Cu3O7-x) was considered. The inductances and effective areas were calculated using the software package 3D-MLSI. Resolution and reliability issues were first tested on simple superconducting systems, showing good agreement with analytical …

Conversion kinetics of oxyfluoride-derived YBCO films
YBa2Cu3O7-x (YBCO) thin films were prepared on lanthanum aluminate (LAO) single crystals and buffered (5000 Y20 3, 500 Ce02) Ni-single crystal substrates by metal organic deposition (MOD) process. Glassy films were converted to epitaxial YBCO films, by heating in wet atmosphere of N2/02 mixture. A …

Superfluid Density Measurements of High-Temperature Superconducting Films
… we measure several intrinsic properties of YBa2Cu3O7-x (YBCO) and Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ (Bi-2212) films. Two competing models of the pseudogap are compared to the temperature dependence of the superfluid density as a function of doping in Bi-2212. Near zero temperature, a maximum in the superfluid …

Superconductor-insulator transition induced by electrostatic charging in high temperature superconductors.
Ultrathin YBa2Cu3O7−x films were grown on SrTiO3 substrates in a high pressure oxygen sputtering system to study the superconductor-insulator transition by electrostatic charging. While backside gating using SrTiO3 as a dielectric induces only small TC shifts, a clear transition between …
