Fabrication of La$_{2-x}$Sr$_{x}$CuO$_{4}$ Superconductor Nanodevices

ORAL

Abstract

In order to investigate dimension-limited superconductivity in cuprates, we explore methods of nanopatterning La$_{2-x}$Sr$_{x}$CuO$_{4}$ (LSCO). We use high resolution e-beam and photo-lithographic fabrication techniques, coupled with appropriate chemical and physical pattern transfer techniques. In particular, we focus on quasi-1D LSCO nanowire devices where we study random telegraph noise (RTN) signals from possible nematic domain fluctuation dynamics.
