Intrinsic Anisotropy and Pinning Anisotropy in Nanostructured YBaCuO from Microwave Measurements

N. Pompeo, A Alimenti, K Torokhtii +9

Anisotropy is an intrinsic factor that dictates the magnetic properties of YBCO, thus with great impact for many applications. Artificial pinning centres are often introduced in an…

Vortex pinning and flux flow microwave studies of coated conductors

Nicola Pompeo, Kostiantyn Torokhtii, Andrea Alimenti +3

Demanding microwave applications in a magnetic field require the material optimization not only in zero-field but, more important, in the in-field flux motion dominated regime. How…

Hybrid Superconducting Neutron Detectors

V. Merlo, M. Salvato, M. Cirillo +5

A new neutron detection concept is presented that is based on superconductive niobium (Nb) strips coated by a boron (B) layer. The working principle of the detector relies on the n…

Directional pinning and anisotropy in YBa2Cu3O7-x with BaZrO3 nanorods: intrinsic and nanorods-induced anisotropy

N. Pompeo, K. Torokhtii, A. Augieri +3

We present a study of the anisotropic vortex parameters as obtained from measurements of the microwave complex resistivity in the vortex state with a tilted applied magnetic field…

Directional vortex pinning at microwave frequency in YBaCuO thin films with BaZrO nanorods

N. Pompeo, K. Torokhtii, A. Augieri +3

We investigate the effect of the anisotropy and of the directional pinning in YBaCuO films grown by pulsed laser ablation from targets containing BaZrO at 5% mo…

Angular dependence of the high-frequency vortex response in YBaCuO thin film with self-assembled BaZrO nanorods

N. Pompeo, R. Rogai, K. Torokhtii +4

We present a microwave study of the angular dependence of the flux-flow resistivity and of the pinning constant in YBCO thin films containing BZO nanorods. We find t…
