This review presents the superconducting properties of a representative high entropy alloy
(HEA), namely Ta 1/6 Nb 2/6 Hf 1/6 Zr 1/6 Ti 1/6. Since the discovery of high entropy alloy …

The polycrystalline granular BSCCO high T c superconductors (HTSC) have limitations in
various applications. These limitations appear due to the flux pinning's weakness and the …

We synthesized the high entropy alloy (HEA) Ta 1/6 Nb 2/6 Hf 1/6 Zr 1/6 Ti 1/6 compound by
planetary ball milling and the spark plasma sintering (SPS) method. The sintered HEA …

The correlation in type-II superconductors between the creep rate S and the Second
Magnetization Peak (SMP) phenomenon which produces an increase in Jc, as a function of …

The second magnetization peak (SMP) appears in most superconductors and is crucial for
the understanding of vortex physics as well as the application. Although it is well known that …

We performed magnetization measurements in a single crystal of the anisotropic bilayer
pnictide superconductor KCa 2 Fe 4 As 4 F 2, with T c≃ 34 K, for H‖ c-axis and H‖ ab …

The electromagnetic response of type-II superconductors exposed to a magnetic field is
governed by the dynamics of the vortex matter. We found that there exists a force of non …

Vortex matter in layered high-T c superconductors, including iron-pnictides, undergo several
thermodynamic phase transitions due to the complex interplay of pinning energy, thermal …

In type-II superconductors exposed to magnetic fields between upper and lower critical
values, H c 1 and H c 2, penetrating magnetic flux forms a lattice of vortices whose motion …

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) was incorporated as artificial flux pinning centers within the In-Bi-
2212 HTSC matrix. The research focused on polycrystalline samples with the composition …
