Superconductivity
We study a Rashba superconductor thin film with ferromagnetic insulators (FIs) placed on top of it. We show that the ferromagnetic insulators generate circular super-currents, enabling long-range magnetic interactions (LRMI), decaying in…
The A and B phases of superfluid 3 He have vector degrees of freedom that reflect their characteristic broken symmetries, respectively chiral and spin-orbit rotation axes. Anisotropic disorder in the superfluid, imbibed in uniformly…
Reentrant superconductivity in strong magnetic fields challenges the conventional expectation that magnetic fields necessarily suppress superconductivity. We show that reentrant superconducting instability can arise from the competition…
We present an ensemble machine-learning approach for composition-based, structure-agnostic screening of candidate superconductors among ternary hydrides under high pressure. Hydrogen-rich hydrides are known to exhibit high superconducting…
We investigate the influence of magnetic order on the proximity-induced superconducting state in the Mn layers of a Mn-Nb(110) heterostructure by using a first-principles method. For this study, we use the recently developed Bogoliubov-de…
Infinite-layer nickelates are among the most promising cuprate-akin superconductors, although relevant differences from copper oxides have been reported. Here, we present momentum- and polarization-resolved RIXS measurements on chemically…
Altermagnetic metals break time-reversal symmetry and feature spin-split Fermi surfaces generated by compensated N\'eel-ordered collinear magnetic moments. Being metallic, such altermagnets may undergo a further instability at low…
High-pressure polyhydrides are leading contenders for room temperature superconductivity. The next frontier lies in stabilizing them at ambient pressure, which would allow their practical applications. In this first-principles computational…
Numerical methods for modeling thin-film magnetization are primarily focused on computing the current density distribution. The highly nonlinear current-voltage characteristic of type-II superconductors significantly complicates the…
Ruddlesden-Popper bilayer nickelates provide an emerging platform for studying high-temperature superconductivity, yet the superconducting pairing symmetry remains under debate. Here, we use atomic-resolution scanning tunnelling microscopy…
Ruddlesden-Popper nickelates exhibit superconductivity under pressure in bulk crystals and under epitaxial constraint in thin films, while remaining highly sensitive to sample quality, oxygen content, defects, and stress conditions. We…
We propose a superconducting circuit based on the Bloch transistor, a quantum device consisting of two small-capacitance Josephson junctions connected in series and having a small island in between. This device is driven by two dc…
Freestanding GdBa2Cu3O7 (GdBCO) superconducting thin films were fabricated using a water-soluble Sr3Al2O6 (SAO) sacrificial layer in combination with thermal release tape. An amorphous Al2O3 capping layer was introduced to suppress crack…
We identify a new family of boron-rich compounds consisting of interconnected B$_{12}$ icosahedra, and electropositive guest atoms ($X$) in interstitial sites. These structures were found through first-principles crystal structure…
Nowadays ultrahigh performance superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors are the key elements in a variety of devices from biological research to quantum communications and computing. Accurate tuning of superconducting material…
Topological superconductivity hosts protected quasiparticles and is central to topological quantum computation, yet its realization in intrinsic materials remains challenging and often relies on engineered platforms. Here we uncover a…
Although spin fluctuations are central to the physics of high-Tc cuprates, their relevance to strange-metal behavior in the overdoped regime remains unclear. Here, we use high magnetic fields to suppress superconductivity and an NMR…
We investigate theoretically spin-resolved transport, spin filtering, and nonreciprocal effects in an Altermagnet/Ising superconductor (AM/ISC) junction with a spin-active interface. Using a modified Bogoliubov-de Gennes framework within…
Multiband superconductivity gives rise to a rich landscape of possible pairing states. Here we study superconductivity in the multiband extension of the Hatsugai-Kohmoto model, an exactly solvable model of correlated electrons with…
The nature of the superconducting state in two-dimensional transition-metal dichalcogenides remains under active debate. A widely used description invokes so-called Ising superconductivity. In this work, we investigate theoretically this…
