Born under the supervision of Prof. Antonio Barone (~ 1970), the superconductivity group in Napoli mainly focused on the study of the Josephson effect in a variety of superconducting devices: from conventional systems made of low critical temperature Superconducting electrodes and Insulating barriers (SIS Josephson junctions), up to more exotic geometries and devices including in the picture more unconventional materials, among the others high – temperature superconductors and ferromagnetic barriers, providing an experimental playground for different problems in condensed matter physics where competiting order parameters coexist.
