Nanostructured Metamaterials for High-Tc Superconductivity
Abstract
In this joint NICOP-NRL project, including the University of Maryland and Towson University, the PI andco-workers will characterize the electrical and magnetic properties of novel epitaxial nanocompositedielectric/HTS thin film systems, a new materials platform developed by Driscoll et al. Thin film sampleswill be grown and by collaborators at the University of Cambridge, who will also use standardtechniques (x-ray diffraction, AFM, electron microscopy, etc.) to characterize the material properties ofthe samples. Collaborators at NRL will characterize the electrical and magnetic properties of thesamples. Collaborators at Towson will characterize the samples using optical measurements. The PI andCo-PI will model the results using a theory developed by Smolyaninov at the University of Maryland, andSmolyaninova at Towson [I.I. Smolyaninov and V.N. Smolyaninova, ???Metamaterial superconductors???,Phys. Rev. B 91, 094501, (2015).]. Since the materials growth methods in this program are readilytranslatable to industrial conductor fabrication, our results will eventually enable practical highperformance superconducting advanced power systems to be developed, an important goal for theNavy after the end of this project.
