It is well known that under certain circumstances, magnetic fields applied perpendicularly to the plane of superconducting films can trigger flux avalanches. In such cases, the penetration has a tree-like profile. However, ...

Magneto-optical (MO) imaging has become a powerful tool for determining magnetic properties of materials by detecting the stray magnetic fields. The technique consists in measuring the Faraday rotation, θF, in the light ...

Avalanches are sudden dramatic phenomena that occur in nature. The technique of magneto-optical imaging (MOI) has allowed us to observe abrupt flux entrances in superconductors, the so-called ux avalanches, due to ...

The phenomenon of superconductivity was discovered by scientist Heike Kamerlingh Onnes in 1911, while studying the resistivity of mercury when cooled below 4,2 K. As predicted by Alexei Abrikosov in 1957, materials from a ...

Vortex matter in superconductors has been the focus of research of both theoretical and experimental groups around the world. When developing superconducting devices patterned on thin films one should bear in mind that ...

Nanostructures have a high potential for technological application, ranging from magnetic reading and memory devices to spintronics. Associating the dimensions and shapes of these nanostructures with their magnetic behavior ...

The objective of this work is to study the feasibility of measuring magnetic fields from the polarization spectroscopy method in cesium atoms. To fulfill the proposed objective, a simulation of the polarization spectroscopy ...
