...Chandra S. Pande, PhD; Ronald L. Holtz, PhD; Darrell J. Gillespie, PhD It has been shown before that collective pinning behavior in high-T_c superconducting oxides can be reconciled to a model of distribution of activation energies, in their thermally activated flux motion...

...Dale R. Harshman, PhD; Anthony T. Fiory, PhD High-transition temperature (high-T_C) superconductivity is associated with layered crystal structures. This work considers superconductivity in ultrathin crystals (of thickness equal to the transverse structural periodicity distance...
