Thin-film Growth and Device Fabrication of Iron-based Superconductors

Abstract

Iron-based superconductors have been receiving much attention as a new family of high-critical temperature superconductors since 2008 owing to their unique properties and distinct difference from cuprates and conventional superconductors. This paper reviews our research on iron-based superconductors' thin-film with an emphasis on growth, critical current properties, and device fabrication.
