Complete Suppression of Thermomagnetic Instabilities in Nb Superconducting Films by Combined Metallic Layers and Ion Irradiation
D. Carmo, A. M. H. de Andrade, R. Giulian +3
Thermomagnetic instabilities in superconducting films can trigger flux avalanches that disrupt the critical state and impair the performance of superconducting devices. Here we inv…

Magnetic field-induced weak-to-strong-link transformation in patterned superconducting films
D. A. D. Chaves, M. I. Valerio-Cuadros, L. Jiang +11
Ubiquitous in most superconducting materials and a common result of nanofabrication processes, weak-links are known for their limiting effects on the transport of electric currents…

Measurement of critical current flow and connectivity in systems of joined square superconducting plates
F. Colauto, D. Carmo, A. M. H. de Andrade +4
A method to measure the electrical connectivity between square superconducting plates joined by weak link interfaces is presented. It is based on observation of lines where the flo…
