Characterization of Resistive Hotspots induced in Superconducting NbTi thin film by an electrical current pulse

We report on the creation of resistive states in NbTi superconducting filament on polished crystalline Al _2 O _3 using the current driven pulse technique. A current pulse larger than the depairing current (I _c ) initiates a dissipation in a localized spot. The non-equilibrium state described by th...
