Rogachev, Andrey | Enhancing superconductivity: magnetic impurities and their quenching by magnetic fields | Magnetic fields and magnetic impurities are each known to suppress superconductivity. However, as the field quenches (i.e. polarizes) the impurities, rich consequences, including field-enhanced superconductivity, can emerge when both effects are present. For the case of superconducting wires and th... | Thermal phase slippage; Coulomb blockade | 2006-09-01 |
