RT Dissertation/Thesis T1 Critical phenomena and vortex dynamics in superconductors of technological interest A1 Fernández Llovo, Iago K1 Superconductividad K1 Fenómenos críticos K1 Dinámica de vórtices AB This thesis focuses on several open questions of high-Tcsuperconductors. Firstly, we study the vortex state of iron-basedsuperconductors (IBS), particularly the anomalous angulardependence of the upper critical field, the second magnetizationpeak in the critical state of highly anisotropic IBS, and the lessstudied vortex pinning induced by surface irregularities.Secondly, we investigate the highly debated nature of precursorsuperconducting effects on cuprate superconductors. Ourfindings deepen our understanding of the impact of nanostructurationand dimensionality on superconducting properties,with implications on the technological applications ofsuperconductors, by exploring mechanisms to enhance thecritical current and the irreversibility magnetic field.
