The transport properties of superconducting tapes and wires for the electrotechnical applications have been investigated. The characterization measurements were carried out in our laboratory with particular ...

Titanium dioxide (TiO2), also known as titanium (IV) oxide or titania, is naturally available on the Earth as a bright, fine, and white pigment. Thanks to its unique properties, such as high refractive index, chemical ...

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) are techniques that have seen a remarkable success and a fast growth over the past decades. Thanks to its non-invasivity and non-descrutivity, the MRI ...

In this work, several experiments and analyses performed by means of noise spectroscopy, on a broad typology of materials and compounds, are presented. Structural, DC electrical transport and noise properties are exposed ...

ZnO is an intrinsic n-type, wide band-gap (3.4 eV at 0 K), semiconductor which has been attracted the interest of the scientific community for several decades. More recently, ZnO has caught a renewed interest due to the ...

Superconducting materials are used in several applications among which the large-scale ones take advantage of the high energy transport capabilities of superconductors due to the low losses in electrical conduction. From ...

Human exposure to natural Naturally Occurring Ionizing Radiation (NOIR), as that one related to Radon and its progeny, has been established as harmful by the worldwide scientific community and acknowledged by many ...

Since their discovery, graphene and carbon nanotubes have been playing an important role in nanoscience and nanotechnology thanks to their extraordinary physical and chemical properties. With silicon-based electronics ...

In the framework of the Ginzburg-Landau (G-L) theory [1], conventional superconductors are classified in type I and type II, based on the value the G-L parameter... [edited by Author]

When the applied magnetic field is higher than the lower critical field but below the upper critical field, a type-II superconductor allows magnetic flux to penetrate it in the form of vortices, a tiny normal area ...
