Force-free state in a superconducting single crystal and angle-dependent vortex helical instability
Superconducting 2H-NbSe2 single crystals show intrinsic low pinning values. Therefore, they are ideal materials with which to explore fundamental properties of vortices. (V, I) characteristics are the experimental data we have used to investigate the dissipation mechanisms in a rectangular shape 2H-NbSe2 single crystal. Particularly, we have studied dissipation behavior with magnetic fields applied in the plane of the crystal and parallel to the injected currents, i.e. in the force-free state where the vortex helical instability governs the vortex dynamics. In this regime, the data follow the elliptic critical state model and the voltage dissipation shows an exponential dependence.Moreover,…
Optimal coupling of HoW$_{10}$ molecular magnets to superconducting circuits near spin clock transitions
A central goal in quantum technologies is to maximize $G$T$_{2}$, where $G$ stands for the coupling of a qubit to control and readout signals and T$_{2}$ is the qubit's coherence time. This is challenging, as increasing $G$ (e.g. by coupling the qubit more strongly to external stimuli) often leads to deleterious effects on T$_{2}$. Here, we study the coupling of pure and magnetically diluted crystals of HoW$_{10}$ magnetic clusters to microwave superconducting coplanar waveguides. Absorption lines give a broadband picture of the magnetic energy level scheme and, in particular, confirm the existence of level anticrossings at equidistant magnetic fields determined by the combination of crysta…
