Measuring magnetotransport properties of cuprate superconductors using high magnetic fields.

在我的博士研究中，我正在研究高温超导体(HTSC)，特别感兴趣的是它们在强磁场中的行为。我正在研究的是铜酸盐家族，其化学组成为REBa2Cu3O6+x，其中RE是一种稀土元素，通常是Y(Y)。磁输运测量是了解这些材料行为的一个很好的工具，但测量需要在非超导状态下进行。为了实现这一点，我用磁场抑制了超导电性。YBa2Cu3O6+x超导态对外加磁场具有极强的弹性，所以为了进行这些实验，我使用了高磁场设备。

For my PhD research I am researching high-temperature superconductors (HTSC) with a particular interest in their behaviour in high magnetic fields. I am looking at the cuprate family, with a chemical composition of the form of REBa2Cu3O6+x, where RE is a rare earth element, usually Yttrium (Y). Magnetotransport measurements are an excellent tool to understand the behaviour of these materials, but measurements need to be taken in the non-superconducting state. To achieve this I suppress superconductivity using magnetic fields. YBa2Cu3O6+x superconducting state is exceptionally resilient to applied field, so to perform these experiments I make use of high-magnetic field facilities.
