摘要:
A process and composition of matter are provided and involve flux pinning in thin films of high temperature superconductive oxides such as YBCO by inclusion of particles including barium and a group 4 or group 5 metal, such as zirconium, in the thin film.
摘要:
Multiferroic articles including highly resistive, strongly ferromagnetic strained thin films of BiFe0.5Mn0.5O3 (“BFMO”) on (001) strontium titanate and Nb-doped strontium titanate substrates were prepared. The films were tetragonal with high epitaxial quality and phase purity. The magnetic moment and coercivity values at room temperature were 90 emu/cc (H=3 kOe) and 274 Oe, respectively. The magnetic transition temperature was strongly enhanced up to approximately 600 K, which is approximately 500 K higher than for pure bulk BiMnO3.
摘要:
A two-dimensional vertical heteroepitaxial strain controlled composite is grown. The strain-controlling phase can be benign in all other respects so that the functional properties of the parent phase are unchanged, improved/enhanced, and/or manipulated. The new composite is advantageous because there is no need for expensive specialized crystals and because there are no thickness limitations.
摘要:
An superconductive article and method of forming such an article is disclosed, the article including a substrate and a layer of a rare earth barium cuprate film upon the substrate, the rare earth barium cuprate film including two or more rare earth metals capable of yielding a superconductive composition where ion size variance between the two or more rare earth metals is characterized as greater than zero and less than about 10×10−4, and the rare earth barium cuprate film including two or more rare earth metals is further characterized as having an enhanced critical current density in comparison to a standard YBa2Cu3Oy composition under identical testing conditions.
