Studies on the Effect of Strain on the Electronic Properties of Ultra Thin Films of Superconducting Cuprates

Nathaniel Wooding

High Tc superconductivity in cuprates is still an unresolved topic, and one particular challenge is why in-plane compressive strain enhances Tc in ultra thin LSCO-214 films (< 40nm), whilst tensile strain diminishes it. Especially intriguing is whether alt ...

Water adsorption on a sodium smectite clay surface: an ab initio study

John Christopher Plummer, Pascal Clausen

Using calculations based on density-functional theory, we explore the configurations that water molecules (2,3,4;6) assume on the surface a sodium 2:1 smectite clay with isomorphic substitutions both on octahedral and tetrahedral sheets. The hydrophilicity ...

Orbital Currents in Extended Hubbard Models of High-T-c Cuprate Superconductors

Frédéric Mila, Cédric Weber

Motivated by the recent report of broken time-reversal symmetry and zero momentum magnetic scattering in underdoped cuprates, we investigate under which circumstances orbital currents circulating inside a unit cell might be stabilized in extended Hubbard m ...

Properties of La2-xSrxCuO4 under epitaxial strain : photoemission on ultra thin films grown by pulsed laser deposition

Dominique Cloëtta

The subject of this thesis is the growth and analysis of high temperature superconductor (HTSC) films and the study of their electronic structure and properties. In particular, the effect of epitaxial strain is investigated, predominantly by means of in-si ...
