An Investigation of Pinning Landscapes with Engineered Defects: Contact-free Critical Current Density Measurements

Pinning landscapes in modern second generation coated conductors are excellent candidates for studies of vortex pinning. The ability to produce engineered defects in thin films of high temperature superconductors allows one to investigate representative distinct pinning sites, with the objective of...
