Superstrength permanent magnets with iron-based superconductors by data- and researcher-driven process design by Akiyasu Yamamoto, Shinnosuke Tokuta, Akimitsu Ishii, Akinori Yamanaka, Yusuke Shimada, Mark D. Ainslie

“…Abstract Iron-based high-temperature (high-T c) superconductors have good potential to serve as materials in next-generation superstrength quasipermanent magnets owing to their distinctive topological and superconducting properties. However, their unconventional high-T c superconductivity paradoxically associates with anisotropic pairing and short coherence lengths, causing challenges by inhibiting supercurrent transport at grain boundaries in polycrystalline materials. …”

Quantum quench dynamics of geometrically frustrated Ising models by Ammar Ali, Hanjing Xu, William Bernoudy, Alberto Nocera, Andrew D. King, Arnab Banerjee

“…Here we perform both classical and quantum simulations of these dynamics, where our quantum simulator is a superconducting quantum annealer. Our observations on the triangular lattice suggest that the dominant quench dynamics are not described by the quantum Kibble-Zurek scaling of the quantum phase transition, but rather a faster coarsening dynamics in an effective two-dimensional XY model in the ordered phase. …”

SmBa2NbO6 Nanopowders, an Effective Percolation Network Medium for YBCO Superconductors by S. Vidya, K. C. Mathai, P. P. Rejith, Sam Solomon, J. K. Thomas

“…The chemical nonreactivity of nano SmBa2NbO6 with YBCO is evident from the X-Ray diffraction study which makes it a suitable nanoceramic substrate material for high temperature superconducting films. A systematic increase in the sintered density, approaching the optimum value of the insulating nanophase is clearly observed, as the vol.% of YBCO in the composite decreases. …”

Beyond sensitivity: what are the enabling opportunities of OPM-MEG? by Timothy P. L. Roberts, Timothy P. L. Roberts, Charlotte Birnbaum, Luke Bloy, William Gaetz, William Gaetz

“…While optically-pumped magnetometer (OPM) technology offers a number of compelling advantages over its SQUID predecessor for magnetoencephalography (MEG), many studies and viewpoints focus on issues of (i) scalp placement, with commensurate increases in sensitivity to weak magnetic fields and (ii) room temperature operation (without the need for baths of liquid helium to maintain superconducting properties of SQUIDs). This article addresses another unique and tantalizing opportunity—the ability for the OPM array to be “wearable”, and thus to move with the participant. …”
