This paper reviews some of the recent investigations of critical current behavior in various high T sub c superconductors such as Y-Ba-Cu-O, Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-O, Tl-Ba-Ca-Cu-O, and Ba-K-Bi-O.
LaAlO sub 3 is of interest as a possible substrate material for thin films of YBa sub 2 Cu sub 3 O sub (7-delta) (YBCO) because of its superior dielectric properties (compared with SrTiO sub 3) and
Mode coupling corrections to the thermal decay rate of binary polymer mixtures near a critical point are investigated.
Motivated by recent experiments on critical binary fluid mixtures in porous media, the dynamics of random-field Ising systems with conserved order parameter are considered.
We study numerically the dynamical equilibrium behavior for a uniformly-driven, elastic model for pinned Charge-Density Waves (CDW), in the critical region close to the threshold field for sliding,
Using high-resolution x-ray scattering, we have demonstrated the existence of quenched disordered charge stripes in a single crystal of La5/3Sr1/3NiO4 at low temperatures.
Critical national infrastructures for power, emergency services, finance, and other basic industries rely heavily on information and telecommunications networks (voice, data, Internet) to provide s
This paper describes the impact of the rapidly evolving telecommunications network on power and powering arrangements, paying close attention to the confluence of telecommunications and computer sy
Measurements of critical layer thicknesses and strain relaxation have been made for AlSb single layers and GaSb/AlSb superlattices on GaSb(001) using ion scattering particle induced x-ray technique
Operation of semiconductor laser diodes with multiple quantum wells in the active region depends on several critical microscopic processes.
