Current Induced Resistive State in Fe(Se,Te) Superconducting Nanobridges
  We study the current-voltage characteristics of Fe(Se,Te) thin films deposited on CaF$_2$ substrates in form of nanostrips (width $w\sim\lambda$, $\lambda$ the London penetration length). In view of a possible application of these materials to superconductive electronics and micro-electronics we focus on transport properties in small magnetic field, the one generated by the bias current. From the characteristics taken at different temperatures we derive estimates for the pinning potential $U$ and the pinning potential range $\delta$. Since the sample lines are very narrow, the classical creep flow model provides a sufficiently accurate interpretation of the data only when the attractive interaction between magnetic flux lines of opposite sign is taken into account. The observed voltages and the induced detriment of the critical current of the nanostrips are compatible with the presence of few tens of magnetic field lines at the equilibrium and a strongly inhomogeneous current density distribution. In particular, we argue that the sharp corners defining the bridge geometry represent points of easy magnetic flux lines injection. The results are relevant for creep flow analysis in superconducting Fe(Se,Te) nanostrips.
