We theoretically evaluate changes in the magnetic potential arising from the magnetic field near superconducting thin films. An example of an atom chip based on a three-wire configuration has been simulated in the superconducting and the normal conducting state. Inhomogeneous current densities within the superconducting wires were calculated using an energy-minimization routine based on the London theory. The Meissner effect causes changes to both trap position and oscillation frequencies at short distances from the superconducting surface. Superconducting wires produce much shallower micro traps than normal conducting wires. The results presented in this paper demonstrate the importance of taking the Meissner effect into account when designing and carrying out experiments on magnetically trapped neutral atoms near superconducting surfaces.

The carrier concentration of Tl2Ba2CaCu2O8 films was modified by annealing in N2 gas. X-ray analysis of the structure and the oxygen content revealed a correspondence between carrier concentration and oxygen depletion. The TC and nonlinear surface im pedance was measured using a dielectric resonator and the nonlinearity slope parameter r=dXS/dRS was found to converge to unity at the critical temperature, indicating a dominance of Josephson fluxon hysteresis on the nonlinearity. Highly inductive nonlinearity was observed in a small range of doping levels between 0.180<p<0.195 holes/Cu, which does not include the optimal doping level of 0.16 holes/Cu.
We study the flux pinning properties of superconductor/magnetic micro-rings lattice hybrid structures. The used open triangular micromagnets represent an eight-fold degree of freedom system, with six polarized and two flux-closure possible states. By conveniently choosing the magnetic state of the underlying rings it is possible to induce different pinning potentials. We show that the magnetic vortex state with minimum stray field produces a weaker pinning in comparison with the polarized states.
We suggest a new theoretical approach describing the velocity of magnetic flux dendrite penetration into thin superconducting films. The key assumptions for this approach are based upon experimental observations. We treat a dendrite tip motion as a p ropagating flux jump instability. Two different regimes of dendrite propagation are found. A fast initial stage is followed by a slow stage, which sets in as soon as a dendrite enters into the vortex-free region. We find that the dendrite velocity is inversely proportional to the sample thickness. The theoretical results and experimental data obtained by a magneto-optic pump-probe technique are compared and excellent agreement between the calculations and measurements is found.

Our Rutherford backscattering spectrometry (RBS) study has found that concentrations up to 7 atomic percent of Rb and Cs can be introduced to a depth of ~700 A in MgB2 thin films by annealing in quartz ampoules containing elemental alkali metals at < 350 degree centigrade. No significant change in transition temperature (Tc) was observed, in contrast to an earlier report of very high Tc (>50 K) for similar experiments on MgB2 powders. The lack of a significant change in Tc and intra-granular carrier scattering suggests that Rb and Cs diffuse into the film, but do not enter the grains. Instead, the observed changes in the electrical properties, including a significant drop in Jc and an increase in delta rho (rho300-rho40), arise from a decrease in inter-granular connectivity due to segregation of the heavy alkaline metals and other impurities (i.e. C and O) introduced into the grain boundary regions during the anneals.

We present a high-resolution microwave spectrometer to measure the frequency-dependent complex conductivity of a superconducting thin film near the critical temperature. The instrument is based on a broadband measurement of the complex reflection coe fficient, $S_{rm 11}$, of a coaxial transmission line, which is terminated to a thin film sample with the electrodes in a Corbino disk shape. In the vicinity of the critical temperature, the standard calibration technique using three known standards fails to extract the strong frequency dependence of the complex conductivity induced by the superconducting fluctuations. This is because a small unexpected difference between the phase parts of $S_{rm 11}$ for a short and load standards gives rise to a large error in the detailed frequency dependence of the complex conductivity near the superconducting transition. We demonstrate that a new calibration procedure using the normal-state conductivity of a sample as a load standard resolves this difficulty. The high quality performance of this spectrometer, which covers the frequency range between 0.1 GHz and 10 GHz, the temperature range down to 10 K, and the magnetic field range up to 1 T, is illustrated by the experimental results on several thin films of both conventional and high temperature superconductors.
