Localization of superconductivity in superconductor-electromagnet hybrids
We investigate the nucleation of superconductivity in a superconducting Al
strip under the influence of the magnetic field generated by a current-carrying
Nb wire, perpendicularly oriented and located underneath the strip. The
inhomogeneous magnetic field, induced by the Nb wire, produces a spatial
modulation of the critical temperature T_c, leading to a controllable
localization of the superconducting order parameter (OP) wave function. We
demonstrate that close to the phase boundary T_c(B_ext) the localized OP
solution can be displaced reversibly by either applying an external
perpendicular magnetic field B_ext or by changing the amplitude of the
inhomogeneous field.Comment: 10 pages, 6 figure
Effect of preparation conditions on physic-chemical properties of tin-doped nanocrystalline indium oxide
In this paper the results of investigation of phase formation and change of concentration of free electrons (Ne) in indium tin oxide system during heat treatment of coprecipitated hydroxides of indium and tin from nitric and hydrochloric solutions and also, for comparison melts of salts nitrates by an alkaline reactant (NH4OH) are considered.The performed investigation allowed to set the optimal condition of preparation of polycrystalline tin-doped indium oxide with maximal electron concentration

Mesoscopic cross-film cryotrons: Vortex trapping and dc-Josephson-like oscillations of the critical current
We investigate theoretically and experimentally the transport properties of a
plain Al superconducting strip in the presence of a single straight
current-carrying wire, oriented perpendicular to the superconducting strip. It
is well known that the critical current of the superconducting strip, Ic, in
such cryotron--like system can be tuned by changing the current in the control
wire, Iw. We demonstrated that the discrete change in the number of the pinned
vortices/antivortices inside the narrow and long strip nearby the
current-carrying wire results in a peculiar oscillatory dependence of Ic on Iw.Comment: 8 pages, 8 figure
Electromagnetic wave refraction at an interface of a double wire medium
Plane-wave reflection and refraction at an interface with a double wire
medium is considered. The problem of additional boundary conditions (ABC) in
application to wire media is discussed and an ABC-free approach, known in the
solid state physics, is used. Expressions for the fields and Poynting vectors
of the refracted waves are derived. Directions and values of the power density
flow of the refracted waves are found and the conservation of the power flow
through the interface is checked. The difference between the results, given by
the conventional model of wire media and the model, properly taking into
account spatial dispersion, is discussed.Comment: 17 pages, 11 figure
Revisiting the 'LSND anomaly' II: critique of the data analysis
This paper, together with a preceding paper, questions the so-called 'LSND
anomaly': a 3.8 sigma excess of antielectronneutrino interactions over standard
backgrounds, observed by the LSND Collaboration in a beam dump experiment with
800 MeV protons. That excess has been interpreted as evidence for the
antimuonneutrino to antielectronneutrino oscillation in the \Deltam2 range from
0.2 eV2 to 2 eV2. Such a \Deltam2 range is incompatible with the widely
accepted model of oscillations between three light neutrino species and would
require the existence of at least one light 'sterile' neutrino. In a preceding
paper, it was concluded that the estimates of standard backgrounds must be
significantly increased. In this paper, the LSND Collaboration's estimate of
the number of antielectronneutrino interactions followed by neutron capture,
and of its error, is questioned. The overall conclusion is that the
significance of the 'LSND anomaly' is not larger than 2.3 sigma.Comment: 30 pages, 16 figures, 6 table
Reply to 'Corrections to the HARP-CDP Analysis of the LSND Neutrino Oscillation Backgrounds'
The alleged mistakes in recent papers that reanalyze the backgrounds to the
'LSND anomaly' do not exist. We maintain our conclusion that the significance
of the 'LSND anomaly' is not 3.8 sigma but not larger than 2.3 sigma.Comment: 3 page
Hybridization and interference effects for localized superconducting states in strong magnetic field
Within the Ginzburg-Landau model we study the critical field and temperature
enhancement for crossing superconducting channels formed either along the
sample edges or domain walls in thin-film magnetically coupled superconducting
- ferromagnetic bilayers. The corresponding Cooper pair wave function can be
viewed as a hybridization of two order parameter (OP) modes propagating along
the boundaries and/or domain walls. Different momenta of hybridized OP modes
result in the formation of vortex chains outgoing from the crossing point of
these channels. Near this crossing point the wave functions of the modes merge
giving rise to the increase in the critical temperature for a localized
superconducting state. The origin of this critical temperature enhancement
caused by the wave function squeezing is illustrated for a limiting case of
approaching parallel boundaries and/or domain walls. Using both the variational
method and numerical simulations we have studied the critical temperature
dependence and OP structure vs the applied magnetic field and the angle between
the crossing channels.Comment: 12 pages, 13 figure
Cross-sections of large-angle hadron production in proton- and pion-nucleus interactions VII: tin nuclei and beam momenta from \pm3 GeV/c to \pm15 GeV/c
We report on double-differential inclusive cross-sections of the production
of secondary protons, charged pions, and deuterons, in the interactions with a
5% nuclear interaction length thick stationary tin target, of proton and pion
beams with momentum from \pm3 GeV/c to \pm15 GeV/c. Results are given for
secondary particles with production angles between 20 and 125 degrees.
Cross-sections on tin nuclei are compared with cross-sections on beryllium,
carbon, copper, tantalum and lead nuclei.Comment: 68 pages, 13 figure
