ABSTRACTIn the past two years, it has been demonstrated that applied electric fields can be used to modulate significantly the normal state resistivity, the critical temperature and the critical current density of high-Tc films. Whereas earlier publications focussed on experimental aspects of high-Tc field effects, this contribution will discuss the conditions that are required to induce superconductivity on the surface of insulators. In addition, evaluations for performance limits of potential high-Tc field effect devices will be presented.

Three-terminal field effect devices are widespread in modern electronics due to their versatility. The possibility of tuning superconductivity, using electric fields to modulate carrier transport is of great interest. With the high temperature cuprate superconductors, which have fairly low carrier concentrations in comparison to metals, this would permit the study of properties in a systematic manner instead of relying on the stochastic nature of oxygen doping. Demonstrations of the phenomenon in YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7−δ have been analysed in terms of the conventional metal field effect. In this work, we show that contrary to earlier belief, the field effect in YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7−δ arises due to changes in the structure. The mechanism is one of ordering induced doping, and is not novel to this oxide, with Fe3O4 exhibiting a similar phenomenon, termed the Verwey transition. Our explanations and results are found to be consistent with experiments, both in terms of the magnitudes of the effects observed as well as their time scales. Also, explicit predictions of this model have recently been confirmed experimentally. Since the effect is omnipresent during the measurement of any physical property in this material, we present a qualitative discussion of its connotations for transport, tunneling, and magnetization. The phenomenon is of importance in a wide variety of device applications.

Ionic liquids are recently-developed smart materials that are not well known by mechanical engineers. They are of great interest due to their non-volatility, viscosity and extremely high electrical conductivity. Up to now, no reports have appeared on their rheological properties under magnetic or electrical fields. In this work, we study the electro-rheological behaviour of a newly presented ionic liquid (2-hydroxyethylammonium formate). Our experiments show that the ionic liquid is not sensitive to magnetic fields. Nevertheless, resonably high damping ratios (42.8%) have been attained under relatively low electric fields (0.6 kVcm-1).

We have bombarded (Bi,Pb)-2223 superconductors with 40 MeV α-particles to study the effect of irradiation on the dimensional crossover in fluctuation-induced conductivity. The pair-breaking parameter decreases with the irradiation and suppression of the critical temperature is obtained. The structural modification of the layer in the high-T c superconductors induced by irradiation affects the extent of the overlapping region in the process of dimensional crossover. The width of the overlapping regime is evaluated for the various doses of irradiation using the different possible relations for the normal state resistivity. The variation of the transition width (Δ T0) with the increase in dose of irradiation is discussed in terms of modifications of interlayer and intralayer Josephson coupling strengths.
