Vortex pinning of BaKBiO investigated by magneto-optical Kerr-effect and magnetization measurements
Soichiro Yamane, Sota Nakamura, Atsutoshi Ikeda +8
Vortex pinning plays a crucial role in determining properties of type-II superconductors. For example, it governs the irreversible magnetic response as well as dissipation caused b…
Magneto-optical Kerr effect measurements under bipolar pulsed magnetic fields
Soichiro Yamane, Sota Nakamura, Atsutoshi Ikeda +3
The magneto-optical Kerr effect (MOKE) is a powerful probe of magnetism. Its contact-free optical nature makes it potentially well suitable for measurements under pulsed magnetic f…
Magneto-optical Kerr-effect measurements under pulsed magnetic fields over 40 T using a compact sample fixture
Atsutoshi Ikeda, Sota Nakamura, Soichiro Yamane +3
The magnetic field is one of the most fundamental control parameters in materials science. A pulsed magnetic-field apparatus can generate high magnetic fields that are inaccessible…
Applications of Superconductor-Normal Metal Interfaces
S. A. Lemziakov, B. Karimi, S. Nakamura +8
The importance and non-trivial properties of superconductor normal metal interfaces was discovered by Alexander Fyodorovich Andreev more than 60 years ago. Only much later these hy…
