Advanced surface characterization of Ba(FeCo)As epitaxial thin films

D. Daghero, P. Pecchio, F. Laviano +4

We report on the systematic characterization of Ba(FeCo)As epitaxial thin films on CaF substrate in view of their possible use for superconducting ele…

Microwave Nonlinearity and Photoresponse of Superconducting Resonators with Columnar Defect Micro-Channels

S. K. Remillard, D. Kirkendall, G. Ghigo +9

Micro-channels of nanosized columnar tracks were planted by heavy-ion irradiation into superconducting microwave microstrip resonators that were patterned from YBa2Cu3O7-x thin fil…

Evidence of a new low field cross-over in the vortex critical velocity of type-II superconducting thin films

G. Grimaldi, A. Leo, D. Zola +4

We measure current-voltage characteristics as function of magnetic field and temperature in Nb strips of different thickness and width. The instability voltage of the flux flow sta…

Evidence of rf-driven branching of dendritic vortex avalanches in MgB2 microwave resonators

Gianluca Ghigo, Francesco Laviano, Laura Gozzelino +2

The influence of dendritic magnetic-flux penetration on the microwave response of superconducting MgB2 films is investigated by a coplanar resonator technique. The peculiar feature…

Effective gap at microwave frequencies in MgB2 thin films with strong interband scattering

G. Ghigo, D. Botta, A. Chiodoni +6

The microwave properties of polycrystalline MgB2 thin films prepared by the so-called in-situ method are investigated. The characterization of the films at microwave frequencies wa…

A new apparatus for deep patterning of beam sensitive targets by means of high-energy ion beam

A. Rovelli, A. Amato, D. Botta +7

The paper reports on a high precision equipment designed to modify over 3-dimensions (3D) by means of high-energy gold ions the local properties of thin and thick films. A target-m…
