Ion-beam Assisted Sputtering of Titanium Nitride Thin Films

Timothy Draher, Tomas Polakovic, Juliang Li +10

Titanium nitride is a material of interest for many superconducting devices such as nanowire microwave resonators and photon detectors. Thus, controlling the growth of TiN thin fil…

Strong magnon-photon coupling in ferromagnet-superconducting resonator thin-film devices

Yi Li, Tomas Polakovic, Yong-Lei Wang +13

We demonstrate strong magnon-photon coupling of a thin-film permalloy device fabricated on a coplanar superconducting resonator. A coupling strength of 0.152 GHz and a cooperativit…

Glassy Dynamics in a heavy ion irradiated NbSe2 crystal

Serena Eley, Karen Khilstrom, Roxana Fotovat +7

Fascination with glassy states has persisted since Fisher introduced the vortex-glass as a new thermodynamic phase that is a true superconductor that lacks conventional long-range…

Effect of hexagonal patterned arrays and defect geometry on the critical current of superconducting films

I. A. Sadovskyy, Y. L. Wang, Z. -L. Xiao +2

Understanding the effect of pinning on the vortex dynamics in superconductors is a key factor towards controlling critical current values. Large-scale simulations of vortex dynamic…

Origin of the turn-on temperature behavior in WTe

Y. L. Wang, L. R. Thoutam, Z. L. Xiao +8

A hallmark of materials with extremely large magnetoresistance (XMR) is the transformative 'turn-on' temperature behavior: when the applied magnetic field is above certain valu…

Enhancing the Critical Current of a Superconducting Film in a Wide Range of Magnetic Fields with a Conformal Array of Nanoscale Holes

Yong-Lei Wang, M. L. Latimer, Zhi-Li Xiao +4

The maximum current (critical current) a type-II superconductor can transmit without energy loss is limited by the motion of the quantized magnetic flux penetrating into a supercon…

Evaluating free flux flow in low-pinning molybdenum-germanium superconducting films

Manlai Liang, Milind N. Kunchur, Jiong Hua +1

Vortex dynamics in molybdenum-germanium superconducting films were found to well approximate the unpinned free limit even at low driving forces. This provided an opportunity to emp…

Edge and Bulk Transport in the Mixed State of a Type-II Superconductor

Z. L. Xiao, E. Y. Andrei, Y. Paltiel +3

By comparing the voltage-current (V-I) curves obtained before and after cutting a sample of 2H-NbSe2, we separate the bulk and edge contributions to the transport current at variou…

Instabilities and disorder-driven first-order transition of the vortex lattice

Y. Paltiel, E. Zeldov, Y. Myasoedov +8

Transport studies in a Corbino disk geometry suggest that the Bragg glass phase undergoes a first-order transition into a disordered solid. This transition shows a sharp reentrant…

Equilibration and Dynamic Phase Transitions of a Driven Vortex Lattice

Z. L. Xiao, E. Y. Andrei, P. Shuk +1

We report on the observation of two types of current driven transitions in metastable vortex lattices. The metastable states, which are missed in usual slow transport measurements,…

Flow Induced Organization and Memory of a Vortex Lattice

Z. L. Xiao, E. Y. Andrei, M. J. Higgins

We report on experiments probing the evolution of a vortex state in response to a driving current in 2H-NbSe crystals. By following the vortex motion with fast transport measur…
