Phase slips in superconducting films with constrictions
A system of two coplanar superconducting films seamlessly connected by a bridge is studied. We observe two distinct resistive transitions as the temperature is reduced. The first one, occurring in the films, shows some properties of the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) transition. The second apparent transition (which is in fact a crossover) is related to freezing out of thermally activate...
متن کاملPhase slips and vortex-antivortex pairs in superconducting films with constrictions
A system of two thin coplanar superconducting films seamlessly connected by a bridge is studied. When such a system is cooled, two distinct resistive transitions are observed. The first one is identified with the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) transition in the film, whereas the second one is a crossover related to the quenching of thermally activated phase slips (TAPS) occurring on the ...
متن کاملDeterministic phase slips in mesoscopic superconducting rings
The properties of one-dimensional superconductors are strongly influenced by topological fluctuations of the order parameter, known as phase slips, which cause the decay of persistent current in superconducting rings and the appearance of resistance in superconducting wires. Despite extensive work, quantitative studies of phase slips have been limited by uncertainty regarding the order paramete...
متن کاملQuantum phase slips in superconducting nanowires.
We have measured the resistance vs temperature of more than 20 superconducting nanowires with nominal widths ranging from 10 to 22 nm and lengths from 100 nm to 1 microm. With decreasing cross-sectional areas, the wires display increasingly broad resistive transitions. The data are in very good agreement with a model that includes both thermally activated phase slips close to T(c) and quantum p...
متن کاملPhase Transitions in Mesoscopic Superconducting Films
We solve the Ginzburg-Landau equation (GLE) for the mesoscopic superconducting thin film of the square shape in the magnetic field for the wide range of the Ginzburg-Landau parameter 0.05 < κeff < ∞. We found that the phase with the antivortex exists in the broad range of parameters. When the coherence length decreases the topological phase transition to the phase with the same total vorticity ...
