Several nanoscale techniques are employed to improve HTS materials:
Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD): Allows for the precise deposition of thin films, essential for creating high-quality superconducting layers. Electron Beam Lithography (EBL): Used to create nanoscale patterns and structures that can enhance superconducting properties. Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM): Provides atomic-level imaging and manipulation of superconducting materials. Focused Ion Beam (FIB): Enables precise cutting and milling at the nanoscale to create defect-free superconducting regions.
