Effects of Geometry and Dimensionality on the Magnetic Response of HTSC Thin Films

  • Conference paper
Advances in Superconductivity XI

Abstract

For a quantitative determination of the magnetic response of HTSC thin films of various shapes (disks, rectangles etc.) in magnetic fields oriented perpendicular to the film plane by applying ac- or dc- techniques, the strong demagnetization effects have to be taken into account. It will be demonstrated that due to recent theoretical progress, such a quantitative analysis is now possible. It turns out that for determining critical currents, photolithographically patterned rings are especially useful. Using this technique, the intrinsic effect of dimensionality of a vortex system on its dynamics has been studied for ring patterned Tl-2212 films revealing a 3D to 2D transition induced by an external magnetic field.
