A new fabrication process for three-terminal superconducting devices consisting of two Josephson junctions in a stacked configuration
is reported. The process is based on the deposition of the whole Nb/AlxOy/Nb-Al/AlxOy/Nb multilayer on a Si crystalline wafer without any vacuum breaking. Lift-off techniques, anodization processes and a SiO
film deposition have been adopted for patterning and insulating the two tunnel stacked junctions. Devices have been characterized
in terms of current-voltage (I-V) curves and Josephson critical current vs. the externally applied magnetic field. They show high quality factors (V
m values up to 65 mV at 4.2 K), and good current uniformity.

This paper reports on the striking correlation between nanosize mosaic domain walls in YBCO films and 1D rows of parallel
Josephson junctions, determining the J
c
vs.B curves. From X-ray data analysis, it results that the average “hidden" domain wall, faceted at a nanometric scale, is almost
mimicking the Josephson Junction (JJ) 1D array. The assumption that the JJs and the domain-wall arrays are coincident, enables
to find out the particular scaling field, making the J
c
vs.B curves independent of temperature. This scaling field can be interpreted in terms of the Josephson nature of the transport
current across these particular patterns in the intermediate temperature range. By means of our model it is also possible
to calculate two asymptotic behaviors of the pinning force as a function of field, for low and high fields, respectively.
These behaviors are punctually repeated by the experimental results in the same asymptotic limit, so that two corresponding
vortex regimes are clearly pointed out. All results can be interpreted by concluding that in the intermediate temperature
range, the strong pinning observed in high quality YBCO films is due to the Josephson Junctions average patterns. These patterns
are the counterpart related to the transport mechanisms of “hidden" structural nano-domains.

We present results from an extended magneto-optical (MO) analysis of two samples cut from high-density pellets of MgB2. The first sample was studied in order to show that no matter how large the sample is and despite the bulk granularity, the
material enters into a critical state in a crystal-like fashion. The second sample was chosen for the quantitative analysis.
A numerical approach based on an inverted 2D Biot-Savart model was used to calculate the current paths across the homogeneous
polycrystalline bulk, as well as in the vicinity and across some morphological defects. Local current densities in the homogeneous
part were estimated as a function of the applied magnetic field at different temperatures, in three regimes: below full penetration,
at full penetration and above full penetration, respectively. A hypothesis of interpretation of the apparent absence of magnetic
granularity inside the polycrystalline microstructure is presented. It is related to a critical state likely reached by a
network of strongly coupled Josephson junctions.

A simple way to acquire information on the mean values of the phase operators sinϕ and cosϕ of an ultrasmall Josephson junction
prepared in an arbitrary pure or not state is reported. Our proposal exploits the recently predicted occurrence of current
spikes in the I-V characteristic of a mesojunction irradiated by a quantum single-mode low-intensity coherent electromagnetic field. A necessary
condition for the validity of our treatment is presented and discussed.

The Nambu spinor Green's function approach is applied to calculating the density of states (DOS) and superconducting order
parameter in normal-metal/insulator/ferromagnet/superconductor (NM/I/FM/SC) junctions. It is found that the s-wave superconductivity and ferromagnetism can coexist near the FM/SC interface, which is induced by proximity effect. On
the SC side, the spin-dependent DOS appears both within and without the energy gap. On the FM side, the superconducting order
parameter displays a damped oscillation and the DOS exhibits some superconducting behavior. The calculated result for the
DOS in FM for “0 state” and “π state” can reproduce recent tunneling spectra in Al/Al2O3/PdNi/Nb tunnel junctions.

The phase diagram of the organic superconductor (TMTSF)2PF6has been revisited using transport measurements with an improved control of the applied pressure. We have found a 0.8 kbar
wide pressure domain below the critical point (9.43 kbar, 1.2 K) for the stabilisation of the superconducting ground state
featuring a coexistence regime between spin density wave (SDW) and superconductivity (SC). The inhomogeneous character of
the said pressure domain is supported by the analysis of the resistivity between T
SDW
and T
SC
and the superconducting critical current. The onset temperature T
SC
is practically constant ( 1.20±0.01 K) in this region where only the SC/SDW domain proportion below T
SC
is increasing under pressure. An homogeneous superconducting state is recovered above the critical pressure with T
SC
falling at increasing pressure. We propose a model comparing the free energy of a phase exhibiting a segregation between
SDW and SC domains and the free energy of homogeneous phases which explains fairly well our experimental findings.

The physics of the π phase shift in ferromagnetic
Josephson junctions may enable a range of applications for
spin-electronic devices and quantum computing. We investigate
transitions from “0” to “π” states in Nb/Fe/Nb Josephson
junctions by varying the Fe barrier thickness from 0.5 nm to 5.5 nm. From magnetic measurements we estimate for Fe a magnetic
dead
layer of about 1.1 nm. By fitting the characteristic voltage
oscillations with existing theoretical models we extrapolate an
exchange energy of 256 meV, a Fermi velocity of 1.98 ×105
m/s and an electron mean free path of 6.2 nm, in agreement with
other reported values. From the temperature dependence of the
ICRN product we show that its decay rate exhibits a nonmonotonic
oscillatory behavior with the Fe barrier thickness. 相似文献

Using 170Yb and 155Gd M?ssbauer measurements down to ∼ 0.03 K, we have examined the semiconducting pyrochlore Yb2Mo2O7 where the Mo intra-sublattice interaction is anti-ferromagnetic and the metallic pyrochlore Gd2Mo2O7 where this interaction is ferromagnetic. Additional information was obtained from susceptibility, magnetisation and 172Yb perturbed angular correlation measurements. The microscopic measurements evidence lattice disorder which is important in
Yb2Mo2O7 and modest in Gd2Mo2O7. Magnetic irreversibilities occur at 17 K in Yb2Mo2O7 and at 75 K in Gd2Mo2O7 and below these temperatures the rare earths carry magnetic moments which are induced through couplings with the Mo sublattice.
In Gd2Mo2O7, we observe the steady state Gd hyperfine populations at 0.027 K are out of thermal equilibrium, indicating that Gd and Mo
spin fluctuations persist at very low temperatures. Frustration is thus operative in this essentially isotropic pyrochlore
where the dominant Mo intra-sublattice interaction is ferromagnetic.

Orthoferrites present, as bulk materials, reorientation transitions of their magnetic moment alignment at temperatures depending
on the rare-earth (RE) ion. In particular, orthoferrites (REFeO3) with RE = Sm, Dy, present this transition at T
SRT = 443 K and 36 K, respectively. The spectra of the complex Kerr and Faraday angle have been measured on orthoferrite thin
films (RE = Sm, Dy, Y), which were prepared by pulsed laser deposition on amorphous quartz substrates. The obtained spectra
exhibit contributions of both surfaces and interfaces. Propagation effects of the polarized light in the magneto-optical medium
which is interpreted in terms of a simplified theoretical formalism, is also observed. For selected photon energies, temperature
dependent Faraday rotation measurements, , on orthoferrite thin films (RE = Sm, Dy, Y) have been performed. A quite different thermal variation compared to the bulk
magnetization has been observed. Curie temperatures are found to be close to the bulk values or slightly larger by 10 K to
20 K as in the case of DyFeO3 and YFeO3. For RE = Sm and Dy, increases with increasing temperature contrary to the saturation magnetization, passes through a maximum at about 460 K and
vanishes with a T
C of 647±18 K, 695 K for RE = Sm and Dy respectively.

We examine the critical behavior of a magnetic superlattice which made up of two magnetic materials, A and B. Using the effective field theory with a probability distribution technique that accounts for the single-site spin correlation,
we derive the analytical equation for the Curie temperature of the superlattice which alternates as ABAB...AB. The dependence of the Curie temperature on the interface coupling strength Jab and the layer number of the finite superlattice was calculated. The effects of the surface modification are also studied.

Alpha-decay properties of the neutron-deficient isotope 185Pb were studied at the PSB-ISOLDE (CERN) on-line mass separator using the resonance ionisation laser ion source (RILIS). The
nuclei of interest were produced in a 1.4 GeV proton-induced spallation reaction of a uranium graphite target. In contrast
to previous studies, two α-decaying isomeric states were identified in 185Pb. The relative production of the isomers, monitored by their α-counting rates, could be significantly changed when a narrow-bandwidth
laser at the RILIS setup was used to scan through the atomic hyperfine structure. Based on the atomic hyperfine structure
measurements, along with the systematics for heavier odd-mass lead isotopes, the spin and the parity of these states were
interpreted as 3/2- and 13/2+ and their nuclear magnetic moments were deduced. The α-decay energy and half-life value for the I
π = 13/2+ isomer are E
α = 6408(5) keV, T
1/2 = 4.3(2) s, respectively; while for the I
π = 3/2- isomer ( T
1/2 = 6.3(4) s) two α-decays with E
α1 = 6288(5) keV, I
α1 = 56(2)% and E
α2 = 6486(5) keV, I
α2 = 44(2)% were observed. By observing prompt α-γ coincidences new information on the low-lying states in the daughter isotope
181Hg was obtained.

We studied electronic relaxation in long diffusive superconductor/normal metal/superconductor (S/N/S) junctions by means of
current noise and transport measurements down to very low temperature (100mK). Samples with normal metal lengths of 4, 10
and 60μm have been investigated. In all samples the shot noise increases very rapidly with the voltage. This is interpreted
in terms of enhanced heating of the electron gas confined between the two S/N interfaces. Experimental results are analyzed
quantitatively taking into account electron-phonon interaction and heat transfer through the S/N interfaces. Transport measurements
reveal that in all samples the two S/N interfaces are connected incoherently, as shown by the reentrance of the resistance
at low temperature. The complementarity of noise and transport measurements allows us to show that the energy dependence of
the reentrance at low voltage is essentially due to the increasing effective temperature of the quasiparticles in the normal
metal.

This paper reviews recent results from electromagnetic
moment measurements on isotopes in the island of inversion around
N=20. The obtained moments on neutron rich Na, Mg, Al and Si
isotopes allow to draw conclusions on the amount of intruder
components in their ground state wave function, demonstrating a
gradual transition from the normal sd-shell region into the
island of inversion, starting at N=18 for Na, N=19 for Mg and N=20
for Al isotopes. A measurement of the ground state g factor of
35Si (N=21), using a polarized fragment beam at GANIL, is
discussed in more detail. The magnetic moment μ(35Si, Iπ= 7/2-) = (-)1.638(4) μN is consistent with a normal ground
state structure, dominated by a νf7/2 neutron. 相似文献

The behavior of the magnetic properties of magnetite Fe3O4 irradiated by swift heavy ions is investigated by magnetization measurements. Although there is no induced structural phase
transformation, both coercive field and saturation magnetization are sensitive to ion irradiation and exhibit different behaviors
depending on the ion fluence range. In the low fluence regime, the coercive field increases, which is evidence for a strong
pinning of magnetic domain boundaries by the induced defects. The magnetization shows a decrease in the saturation value and
tends to reorient perpendicularly to the ion track axis. At high fluence, the initial magnetic properties of the sample are
nearly restored. The changes in the magnitude and the direction of magnetization are interpreted by magnetostrictive effects
related to the stress induced by irradiation. A phenomenological model is applied to reproduce the fluence evolution of the
saturation magnetization, assuming relaxation of the stress induced around the core of defects of the tracks by overlapping
effects at high fluence. The results are compared to those obtained in the case of yttrium iron garnet Y3Fe5O12.

We have measured I(V) characteristics of c-axis planar tunnel junctions on Y1Ba2Cu3O 7 - δ films. Our results and their analysis provide experimental support for the importance of the two-dimensional character of
the YBCO band structure, and a method to measure the ratio between the Fermi energy of YBCO and the barrier height. The analysis
is based on the relation between the linear conductance background, related to the inelastic tunneling component, and the
zero bias conductance, related to the elastic one.

The magnetic properties of the cyclic compound [Fe6(bicine)6] LiClO4
. 2MeOH are reported. The cluster Fe6(bicine)6 forms an antiferromagnetically coupled ring structure of Fe III ions. The magnetic susceptibility is measured between 2 and 300 K and yields the exchange coupling of J/k
B = - 27.5±0.5 K. The field dependence of the magnetic moment is studied at 3 and 6 K in magnetic fields up to 5 T. The zero-field
splitting of the first excited spin states with S = 2 and 3 are determined by ESR at 94 GHz. The intra-molecular interactions of the Fe III ions are analyzed and the on-site anisotropy of the Fe III due to the ligand-configuration is determined to d /k
B = - 0.633±0.008K.

The neutron g

correlation of γ rays following the fusion-evaporation reaction 28Si(32S,2pn)57Ni at a beam energy of 90 MeV. The linear polarization was measured with a Euroball cluster detector and a prototype of an encapsulated six-fold segmented hexaconical Ge-detector. The spin of the 3701 keV
level in 57Ni was confirmed to be I= 9/2 and its parity determined to be positive.

With the second and third harmonic of a tunable single-mode cw Ti:S laser, generated inside external enhancement cavities,
high-resolution LIF measurements on several states of Lu I in various parts of the electromagnetic spectrum are performed.
From these measurements, hyperfine structure A and B constants for both 175Lu and 176Lu as well as isotope shifts have been determined for all levels observed in the single-step excitation process. From the
measured A constants, the magnetic hyperfine structure anomaly has been derived for various states.

The influence of antiferromagnetic order on the mixed state of a superconductor may result in creation of spin-flop domains
along vortices. This may happen when an external magnetic field is strong enough to flip over magnetic moments in the vortex
core from their ground state configuration. The formation of domain structure causes modification of the surface energy barrier,
and creation of the new state in which magnetic flux density is independent of the applied field. The modified surface energy
barrier has been calculated for parameters of the antiferromagnetic superconductor DyMo6S8. The prediction of two-step flux penetration process has been verified by precise magnetization measurements performed on
the single crystal of DyMo6S8 at milikelvin temperatures. A characteristic plateau on the virgin curve B(H
0) has been found and attributed to the modified surface energy barrier. The end of the plateau determines the critical field,
which we call the second critical field for flux penetration.
