Fast Hotspot Detection in SFCLs by Exploiting Strain Response in Optical Fiber Sensing

Luc Thévenaz, Bertrand Dutoit, Zhisheng Yang, Bertrand Dutoit, Nicolo' Riva, Arooj Akbar

Superconducting fault current limiters (SFCLs) can be used to limit fault currents in both meshed DC and AC grids by transitioning from superconducting to resistive state, in the presence of high currents. While the device is theoretically a great way to p ...

Bosonic superfluid transport in a quantum point contact

Jean-Philippe Brantut

We present a microscopic theory of heat and particle transport of an interacting, low-temperature Bose- Einstein condensate in a quantum point contact.We show that, in contrast to charged, fermionic superconductors, bosonic systems feature tunneling proces ...

Quantum phase transitions and the role of impurity-substrate hybridization in Yu-Shiba-Rusinov states

Klaus Kern, Jacob Senkpiel, Haonan Huang

Spin-dependent scattering from magnetic impurities inside a superconductor gives rise to Yu-Shiba-Rusinov (YSR) states within the superconducting gap. They can be modeled by the largely equivalent Kondo or Anderson impurity models. The role of the magnetic ...

Optical fibre sensing for fast hotspot detection in SFCLs

Luc Thévenaz, Bertrand Dutoit, Zhisheng Yang, Bertrand Dutoit, Sheng Wang, Arooj Akbar

The health monitoring of superconducting fault current limiters (SFCL) is important for their large-scale exploitation in HVDC grids protection. The intrinsic non-homogeneity of critical current along the superconductor length can cause localized points of ...

Structure and superconductivity in the binary Re1-xMox alloys

Joël Mesot

The binary Re1-xMox alloys, known to cover the full range of solid solutions, were successfully synthesized and their crystal structures and physical properties investigated via powder x-ray diffraction, electrical resistivity, magnetic susceptibility, and ...

Tomonaga-Luttinger Liquid Spin Dynamics in the Quasi-One-Dimensional Ising-Like Antiferromagnet BaCo2V2O8

Jonathan White, Martin Mansson, Christian Rüegg, Gregory Scott Tucker

Combining inelastic neutron scattering and numerical simulations, we study the quasi-one-dimensional Ising anisotropic quantum antiferromagnet BaCo2V2O8 in a longitudinal magnetic field. This material shows a quantum phase transition from a Neel ordered ph ...

Robustness of Yu-Shiba-Rusinov resonances in the presence of a complex superconducting order parameter

Klaus Kern, Jacob Senkpiel

Robust quantum systems rely on having a protective environment with minimized relaxation channels. Super-conducting gaps play an important role in the design of such environments. The interaction of localized single spins with a conventional superconductor ...

Nodeless superconductivity in the noncentrosymmetric Mo3Rh2N superconductor: A mu SR study

Joël Mesot

The noncentrosymmetric superconductor Mo3Rh2N, with T-c = 4.6 K, adopts a beta-Mn-type structure (space group P4(1)32), similar to that of Mo3Al2C. Its bulk superconductivity was characterized by magnetization and heat-capacity measurements, while its micr ...

Time-Reversal Symmetry Breaking in Re-Based Superconductors

Joël Mesot, Johan Juul Chang

To trace the origin of time-reversal symmetry breaking (TRSB) in Re-based superconductors, we performed comparative muon-spin rotation and relaxation (mu SR) studies of superconducting noncentrosymmetric Re0.82Nb0.18 (T-c = 8.8 K) and centrosymmetric Re (T ...

Scanning Tunneling Spectroscopy with Superconducting Junctions : From Single Channel Transport to Local Pair Breaking Potentials

Jacob Senkpiel

This thesis contains two major topics, the restriction of tunneling to only a few channels in the scanning tunneling microscope (STM) and the interaction of local magnetic impurities with superconductivity. At a temperature of 15mK, the quantum back-action ...

Scaling of the superconducting gap with orbital character in FeSe

We use high-resolution angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy to map the three-dimensional momentum dependence of the superconducting gap in FeSe. We find that on both the hole and electron Fermi surfaces, the magnitude of the gap follows the distributi ...
