Molecular dynamics simulations of radiation damage in YBa2Cu3O7

R. L. Gray et al.

Summary: The advent of high-temperature superconductors has provided the possibility of constructing smaller and cheaper fusion reactors. However, the impact of high-energy neutrons from fusion reactions on the superconductors needs to be addressed. This study uses molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the radiation-induced modifications on the crystal structure of YBa2Cu3O7, and the results show the formation of amorphous regions decorated with Cu and O defects.

In-situ measurements of the effect of radiation damage on the superconducting properties of coated conductors

W. Iliffe et al.

Summary: An apparatus was constructed for irradiation and electrical testing of REBCO coated conductors below their critical temperature. The study observed the superconducting performance of samples before and after annealing, comparing irradiation at different temperatures to understand the effect on material properties. Results showed degradation of critical temperature and critical current density with irradiation dose, but significant recovery was seen after room temperature annealing, impacting the design of high temperature superconducting magnets for fusion reactors.

Dimensionality-driven metal-insulator transition in spin-orbit-coupled IrO2

E. Arias-Egido et al.

Summary: A metal-insulator transition is observed in spin-orbit-coupled IrO2 thin films as the film thickness is reduced, with the critical thickness depending on growth orientation. The experimental electrical response fits well with Efros-Shklovskii-VRH and Arrhenius-type behaviors, indicating the importance of electron correlations. Magnetic measurements also suggest a significant role of magnetic order in the electrical properties of IrO2, pointing to a mixed Slater- and Mott-type insulator.
