- Title of Project: Superconducting Phase Change Switch by Manipulation of Crystal Structure and Electronic Properties on Bismuth Nanostructures
Thesis Abstract: The aim of my doctoral thesis is to realize a reversible phase change between the crystalline and amorphous structure of a thin bismuth film with high-frequency current pulses and thus to produce a passive switching element between the metallic and superconducting phase.
