Tunneling in HTSC

The head of the group is Professor Yaroslav G. Ponomarev.

Main research interests of the group are experimental investigations of tunneling effects in high temperature superconductors.

Main directions of research:

• Tunneling spectroscopy of High Temperature Superconductors (HTSC).

• Andreev reflections in HTSC.

Staff:

• Prof. Ya.G. Ponomarev.

• Dr. S.N. Chesnokov.

• Dr. M.G. Mikheev.

• Dr. A.V. Yaryggin.

Tools for research available in the lab:

• Computer-based installation for Resistance vs. Temperature R(T), Current vs. Voltage I(V) and derivative dI/dV measurements.

• Sample holders for break junction technique.

• Cryogenic equipment.

• Solenoids and microwave generators for measurements in external fields.
