Intrinsic Disorder Effects and Persistent Current Studies of YBCO Thin Films and Superconducting Tunnel Junctions

This thesis studies the intrinsic disorder effects and the transport and magnetic properties of ring-shaped epitaxial thin films and superconducting tunnel junctions (STJs) of the high temperature superconductor YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{7-delta}$. We used an unconventional contactless technique that allows...
