Muon spin relaxation/rotation $(\ensuremath{\mu}\mathrm{SR})$ and magnetic susceptibility measurements were carried out on antiferromagnetic nanoparticles of CuO. Nanoparticles with center size around 5 nm prepared by ball-milling from single crystals CuO investigated using $\ensuremath{\mu}\mathrm{SR}$ measurements. In the $\ensuremath{\sim}5\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\mathrm{nm}$ assembly, ${T}_{\mathrm{N}}$ was reduced drastically to...
Abstract We have developed a polishing method for Cu CMP using superconductive assisted machining (SUAM) with levitated magnets in the air. SUAM enables non-contact pressure system by pinning effect of superconductivity to polish electroplated films backend processing. This offers key advantages: reduced dust generation, at room temperature, and precise control between pad wafer based on contact area holding force from effect. Results show that, same as conventional Cu-CMP, rate is...
Critical current densities in superconducting Y-Ba-Cu-O specimens with different sizes of 211 particles prepared by the melt process were measured under various magnetic fields and temperatures. Discussion is given on flux pinning properties background centers. At temperatures above 60 K, are expected to be dominant A rapid degradation critical density elevating temperature at low below 25 K seems attributed weak links specimens.
Addition of BaHfO3 (BHO) nano-rods as pinning centers into a GdBa2Cu3Oy (GdBCO) coated conductor dramatically improves the critical current properties in high magnetic fields. This is partly ascribed to strong flux these centers. In this paper it reported that improvement mainly caused by unexpected enhancement upper field, Bc2. The mechanism Bc2 not yet clear, although strain around interface between center and superconducting matrix or itself may scatter electrons. result suggests property...
Flux pinning properties were investigated by focusing on the origin of high peak critical current density and irreversibility field for Nd0.33Eu0.38Gd0.28Ba2Cu3Oy (NEG-123) bulk superconductors with addition 211 secondary phase particles volume fractions up to 10 mol%. It was found that a negative correlation exists between Jcp Bi various added phase. This suggests mechanisms determine are different. The do not contribute effect neither directly through condensation energy interaction nor...
Flux creep is theoretically investigated for a model of sinusoidal washboard potential in superconductors. An apparent pinning depth, U 0 * , defined by the relaxation rate shielding current density, found to be significantly smaller than given depth. In particular, reduces zero at temperature, while depth takes finite value. The effect form barrier on such significant flux low temperatures discussed.

In cable, outer layer twisted such way shielding region generates inner conductor. As result,...

The weak link property in a QMG (quench and melt growth)-processed single-grain Y-Ba-Cu-O specimen was investigated by measuring the dependence of critical current density on temperature, history magnetic field application, its enhancement under longitudinal geometry. results show that weak-link regions still remain specimen. It is speculated these regions, which can transport superconducting currents at low temperatures, are degraded with increasing temperature lose superconductivity around...

That is, force-free structure assumed for conductor in to use significant enhancement critical current density parallel observed metallic superconductors.
