Open AccessCompetition between Superconductor – Ferromagnetic stray magnetic fields in YBa2Cu3O7−x films pierced with Co nano-rods
Superconductivity and ferromagnetism are two antagonistic phenomena that combined can lead to a rich phenomenology of interactions, resulting in novel physical properties and unique functionalities. Here we pr...

Enhancement of long-range correlations in a 2D vortex lattice by an incommensurate 1D disorder potential
Randomness can disorder a two-dimensional vortex lattice and lead to enhanced long-range correlations. The resulting order–disorder transition occurs in two steps, with critical exponents exceeding predictions.

Magnetic field-induced dissipation-free state in superconducting nanostructures
A superconductor in a magnetic field acquires a finite electrical resistance caused by vortex motion. A quest to immobilize vortices and recover zero resistance at high fields made intense studies of vortex pi...

Transport properties of superconducting amorphous W-based nanowires fabricated by focused-ion-beam-induced-deposition for applications in Nanotechnology
We report transport measurements of superconducting amorphous W-based nanodeposits fabricated by focused-ion-beam-induced-deposition (FIBID) technique using W(CO)6 as the gas precursor. We have found that nanowir...

Tunneling and anisotropic-tunneling magnetoresistance in iron nanoconstrictions fabricated by focused-ion-beam
We report the magnetoresistance (MR) measurements in a nanoconstriction fabricated by focused-ion-beam (FIB) in the tunneling regime of conductance. The resistance of the contact was controlled during the fabr...

Direct observation of melting in a two-dimensional superconducting vortex lattice
A two-dimensional lattice of vortices melts into an isotropic liquid with increasing temperature. A microscopic view of the melting transition reveals that this actually occurs in three steps, one of which is ...

Comparison of ion- and electron-beam-induced Pt nanodeposits: composition, volume per dose, microstructure, and in-situ resistance
Electron- and ion-beam-induced deposition (EBID and IBID) of metallic materials is one major application of “dual beam” systems [1]. Previous studies on EBID of Pt have shown the decrease of the deposition rat...
