    Abstract: PINNING STRUCTURES FOR SUPERCONDUCTING FILMS AND METHOD FOR MAKING SAME The pinning structure for high-Tc superconductors comprises a substrate (1), a plurality of protrusions (3) of nanometer dimension and with mutual distances in the nanometer range, deposited on the surface (2) of said substrate (1), and a superconducting film (4) deposited on said substrate (1) and embedding said protrusions (3) in a superconductor matrix. The protrusions (3) may consist of a metal, or a semiconductor, or an insulator. The manufacturing of the pinning structure starts from a substrate (1) onto which a predetermined number of protrusions (3) is deposited in predetermined locations as required by the specific application. Finally, the superconductor film (4) is deposited on top of the same substrate (1).

    Abstract: This field-effect transistor comprises a conductive substrate (2) serving as the gate electrode, an insulating barrier layer (3), and a superconducting channel layer (1) on top of the barrier layer (3). The superconductor layer (1) carries a pair of mutually spaced electrodes (4, 5) forming source and drain, respectively. The substrate is provided with an appropriate gate contact (6). The substrate (2) consists of a material belonging to the same crystallographic family as the barrier layer (3). In a preferred embodiment, the substrate (2) is niobium-doped strontium titanate, the barrier layer (3) is undoped strontium titanate, and the superconductor (1) is a thin film of a material having a lattice constant at least approximately similar to the one of the materials of the substrate (2) and barrier (3) layers. A preferred material of this type is YBa2Cu3O7- delta , where 0
