Hybrid heterostructures with superconducting/antiferromagnetic interfaces
We report on structural, DC, X-ray and neutron studies of hybrid
superconducting mesa-heterostructures with a cuprate antiferromagnetic
interlayer Ca1-xSrxCuO2 (CSCO). The upper electrode was bilayer Nb/Au
superconductor and copper oxide superconductor YBa2Cu3O7 (YBCO) was the bottom
electrode. It was experimentally shown that during the epitaxial growth of the
two films YBCO and CSCO a charge carrier doping takes place in the CSCO
interlayer with a depth about 20 nm. The conductivity of the doped part of CSCO
layer is close to the metal type, while the reference CSCO film, deposited
directly on NdGaO3 substrate, behaves as Mott insulator with the hopping
conductivity. The interface Au/CSCO is clearly seen on bright-field image of
the cross-section of heterostructure and gives the main contribution to the
total resistance of mesa-heterostructure.Comment: 16 pages, 9 figure
Использование 3D модели для подсчета объемов вскрышных пород и полезного ископаемого
The volumes of overburden rocks and minerals were calculated based on the 3D model of the deposit, which was created using results of analysis of the geological structure of the deposit, and construction of the topographic surface. A comparative table of the results of calculating the volumes of overburden rocks and minerals was compiled using the method of geological blocks and 3D models.Проанализировано геологическое строение месторождения, проведена обработка исходных данных, построена топографическая поверхность, построена 3D модель месторождения, подсчитаны объемы вскрышных пород и полезного ископаемого, составлена сравнительная таблица результатов подсчета объемов вскрышных пород и полезного ископаемого по методу геологических блоков и 3D модели
Negative high-frequency differential conductivity in semiconductor superlattices
We examine the high-frequency differential conductivity response properties
of semiconductor superlattices having various miniband dispersion laws. Our
analysis shows that the anharmonicity of Bloch oscillations (beyond
tight-binding approximation) leads to the occurrence of negative high-frequency
differential conductivity at frequency multiples of the Bloch frequency. This
effect can arise even in regions of positive static differential conductivity.
The influence of strong electron scattering by optic phonons is analyzed. We
propose an optimal superlattice miniband dispersion law to achieve
high-frequency field amplification
Novel Regime of Operation for Superconducting Quantum Interference Filters
A new operating regime of the Superconducting Quantum Interference Filter
(SQIF) is investigated. The voltage to magnetic field response function, V(H),
is determined by a Fraunhofer dependence of the critical current and magnetic
flux focusing effect in Josephson junctions (F-mode). For SQIF-arrays made of
high-Tc superconducting bicrystal Josephson junctions the F-mode plays a
predominant role in the voltage-field response V(H). The relatively large
superconducting loops of the SQIF are used for inductive coupling to the
external input circuit. It is shown that the output noise of a SQIF-array
measured with a cooled amplifier in the 1-2 GHz range is determined by the
slope of the V(H) characteristic. Power gain and saturation power were
evaluated using low frequency SQIF parameters. Finally, we consider the
influence of the spread in the parameters of Josephson junctions in the
SQIF-array on the V(H) characteristic of the whole structure.Comment: 7 pages, 4 figure
Magnetic proximity effect at interface between a cuprate superconductor and an oxide spin valve
Heterostructures consisting of a cuprate superconductor YBa2Cu3O7x and a
ruthenate/manganite (SrRuO3/La0.7Sr0.3MnO3) spin valve have been studied by
SQUID magnetometry, ferromagnetic resonances and neutron reflectometry. It was
shown that due to the influence of magnetic proximity effect a magnetic moment
is induced in the superconducting part of heterostructure and at the same time
the magnetic moment is suppressed in the ferromagnetic spin valve. The
experimental value of magnetization induced in the superconductor has the same
order of magnitude with the calculations based on the induced magnetic moment
of Cu atoms due to orbital reconstruction at the superconductor-ferromagnetic
interface. It corresponds also to the model that takes into account the change
in the density of states at a distance of order of the coherence length in the
superconductor. The experimentally obtained characteristic length of
penetration of the magnetic moment into superconductor exceeds the coherence
length for cuprate superconductor. This fact points on the dominance of the
mechanism of the induced magnetic moment of Cu atoms due to orbital
reconstruction.Comment: 20 pages, 9 figure
