Superconductor

1.3K
A substance that reaches superconductivity, a state in which magnetic fields cannot penetrate, and there is no electrical resistance, is referred to as a superconductor. In 1911, Heike Kamerlingh Onnes of Leiden University, a Dutch physicist, observed a relation between the temperature and the resistance of the element mercury. The mercury sample was then cooled in liquid helium to study the linear dependence of resistance on temperature. It was observed that, as the temperature decreased, the...

Area of Science:

  • Condensed Matter Physics
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Disordered superconducting films exhibit unique electronic properties.
  • Understanding the influence of external stimuli like pressure is crucial for fundamental physics and potential applications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present an experimental setup for transport measurements of thin disordered superconducting films under high pressure.
  • To investigate the pressure-tuned superconductor-insulator transition in amorphous indium oxide films.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a custom-designed single screw diamond anvil cell for precise pressure application.
  • Performed measurements at cryogenic temperatures to maintain superconducting properties.
  • Deposited amorphous indium oxide films directly onto the diamond anvil to minimize substrate effects.

Main Results:

  • Successfully applied pressures up to several gigapascals (GPa).
  • Observed the superconductor-insulator transition in the thin films as a function of applied pressure.
  • Demonstrated the capability to tune the electronic state of the films through pressure.

Conclusions:

  • The developed experimental setup is effective for studying pressure-dependent phenomena in thin superconducting films.
  • High pressure provides a powerful tool to explore quantum phase transitions in disordered materials.
  • This work opens avenues for investigating other pressure-sensitive electronic properties of novel materials.
