Characterization of 3D-Printed Superconducting Arches with Electron-beam Induced Deposition using a Computer Aided Design Program

Master thesis | Physics (MSc)

Focused electron-beam induced deposition (FEBID) is a non-destructive, relatively fast and cheap method with applications in AFM, plasmonics and nanomagnetics amongst others. In this thesis, three dimensional superconducting arches were fabricated using this technique with the help of a computer aided design (CAD) program. Magnetic field sweeps were performed at low temperatures (∼2-5 K) to characterize these arches. With a few improvements, more complex 3D structures can be fabricated, paving the way towards the numerous applications people now can only dream of.
