The theoretical and experimental results concerning the thermodynamical and low-
frequency transport properties of hybrid structures, consisting of spatially separated …

Superconductors with periodically ordered mesoporous structures are expected to have
properties very different from those of their bulk counterparts. Systematic studies of such …

The fabrication and characterization of superconducting nanowires fabricated by the anodic
aluminium oxide (AAO) template technique has been reviewed. This templating method was …

A very broad distribution of microstructural length scales spanning few nm-to the μm-scale
has proven effective to achieve exceptional materials properties. Here, we fabricate a Cu/Nb …

Conformal crystals are nonuniform structures created by a conformal transformation of
regular two-dimensional lattices. We show that gradient-driven vortices interacting with a …

The newly developed hydrogen sensor, based on a network of ultrasmall pure palladium
nanowires sputter-deposited on a filtration membrane, takes advantage of single palladium …

The maximum current (critical current) a type-II superconductor can transmit without energy
loss is limited by the motion of the quantized magnetic flux penetrating into a …

We experimentally investigate the vortex induced energy losses in niobium coplanar
waveguide resonators with and without quasihexagonal arrays of nanoholes (antidots) …

We have developed a masked ion irradiation technique to engineer the energy landscape
for vortices in oxide superconductors. This approach associates the possibility to design the …

The relevant length scales for superconductivity are of the order of nanometers. By confining
the superconducting condensate to such dimensions, many physical properties change …
