Using Native Impurities to Extract the Superconducting Gap in Bi-2201

Bi-2201 is a family of high-temperature superconductor. Recent analysis shows evidence that intentionally doped impurities can locally suppress the pseudo-gap phase, a competing phase to superconductivity, and be used to extract the superconducting gap size. Following this line of thought we use native impurities in a wide range of hole doping in Bi-2201 to extract the superconducting gap size as a function of doping.

Modeling Magnetized Plasma

We have developed a simplified model for a symmetric plasma problem in cylindrical coordinates without ion-atom collisions under the action of an axial magnetic field. A comparison of the solutions obtained from the full and the simplified models are in good agreement with the corresponding data.

Automated Gap Identification to Uncover Electronic Inhomogeneity in Bi-2212

This project focused on spectral analysis, especially gap extraction into the high-temperature superconductor Bi-2212. To efficiently and correctly process large amount of data, while maintaining flexibility and distributability, Python is chosen as the language to solve this problem.
