Vortex based atom traps and atomic electrometry on a superconducting atom chip

This thesis focuses on the realization of the magnetic micro-trap using the vortex current in a superconducting structure and the measurement of the electric fi eld from the adsorbates. Persistent currents are induced in the type-II superconductor - yttrium barium copper oxide (YBCO) to generate a m...
