Superconducting Proximity Effect in Nanowire Josephson Junctions
(University of Waterloo, 2023-01-13)Semiconducting nanowires contacted with superconductors are an interesting class of hybrid mesoscopic devices, in which charge transport is quantum mechanical due to the confinement potential of the nanowire, as well as ... -
Ultra-low temperature dilatometry
(University of Waterloo, 2010-10-28)This thesis presents research of two novel magnetic materials, LiHoF4 and Tb2Ti2O7. Experiments were performed at low temperatures and in an applied magnetic field to study thermal expansion and magnetostriction using a ...
