"Pressure Effects on High Temperature Superconductors, and Physical Pro" by Lina Sang
High critical current density (Jc) and small magnetic relaxation are crucial for technological applications of high temperature superconductors. So far, improved Jc has been reported, based on the pinning of vortices via local structural inhomogeneities in superconductors, which are induced by chemical doping, irradiation, and inclusion of non-superconducting secondary phases. In cuprates and iron-based superconductors (IBSCs), the superconducting state is induced mainly through chemical doping/substitution (x) and high pressure. Chemical doping (addition of holes or electrons) can change the ...
