Research activities and objectives
High quality single crystals and epitaxial films of the
high temperature superconductors are studied for their
fundamental properties and applications. The role
played by the anisotropy in achieving high critical
temperatures and its implications on the behavior of
the vortex phase in strong magnetic fields is investigated
by a number of experimental methods. These include
the study of normal metal / superconductor contacts,
the fabrication and study of tunneling junctions
of various kinds, measurements of the surface impedance
at microwave frequencies, the study of the global
and local magnetization, its field and time dependence,
and other aspects of the vortex dynamics such as flux creep and flux flow.
