Voltage-current properties of superconducting amorphous tungsten nanostrips

Sci Rep. 2013:3:2307. doi: 10.1038/srep02307.

Abstract

The voltage-current (V-I) characteristics of tungsten (W) strips patterned by focused-ion-beam assisted deposition were studied at different temperatures and various magnetic fields applied perpendicular to the strips. At fields of 1 Tesla (T) and 2 T, a scaling behavior was observed in V-I isotherms, which can be fitted by quasi-three-dimensional (quasi-3D) vortex-glass (VG) to liquid transition theory.
