Current Induced Resistive State in Fe(Se,Te) Superconducting Nanostrips
Abstract We study the current-voltage characteristics of Fe(Se,Te) thin films deposited on CaF2 substrates in form of nanostrips (width w ~ λ, λ the London penetration length). In view of a possible application of these materials to superconductive electronics and micro-electronics we focus on trans...
