Partial Substitution of Rare-Earth Ions for Yttrium Through Multi-Layer Precursors in the YBa2Cu3O7 Films Grown by Fluorine-Free Metal Organic Deposition
Abstract We have studied the effects of partial substitution of rare-earth (RE) ions for yttrium in YBa2Cu3O7 films prepared by fluorine-free metal organic deposition. The substitution was conducted through Y/RE multi-layer precursor films. We found ...

Influence of Deposition Temperature on Critical Current Properties for Nd:YAG-PLD-YBa2Cu3Oy Thin Films with Nanorods
Abstract Bi-axially oriented YBCO thin films with BNO-nanorods were obtained by a low cost PLD process using Nd:YAG-laser in the substrate temperature (Ts) range of 850-890¡C, and the degrees of orientation for the films are comparable to those of...

Operation of YBCO Current Leads as Bias Lines to Cryocooler-mounted 4K Superconducting Electronics
Abstract We report on the construction and operation of flexible, 15-line YBCO lead assemblies as low heat-leak bias lines to a complex Rapid Single Flux Quantum (RSFQ) circuit on a 2-stage cryocooler. The leads are used to supply DC bias currents...

Vertical adaptive radiation in ocean Prochlorococcus: Evolutionary implications of the Chl b/a ratio from molecular evidence
Abstract Prochlorococcus is a marine cyanobacterium of global significance. Two ecotypes are adapted to either high-light (HL) or low-light (LL) conditions. The ratio between chlorophyll (Chl) a and b is a distinguishing...
