Superconductivity
We studied enhanced superconductivity in point contacts (PCs) based on a type-I Weyl semimetal trigonal t-PtBi2 using both normal metal (Ag, Cu, Pt) and ferromagnetic (Fe, Co, Ni) tips by measuring the differential resistance dV/dI(V)…
CeRh$_{2}$As$_{2}$, a heavy fermion superconductor discovered in 2021, exhibits two distinct superconducting phases under a $c$-axis magnetic field. This unconventional phase diagram has been attributed to the local inversion symmetry…
We introduce a class of topological pairing orders characterized by a half-integer pair monopole charge, leading to Berry phase enforced half-integer partial wave symmetry. This exotic spinor order emerges from pairing between Fermi…
We have observed superconductivity in heavy p-doped Ge by measuring of differential resistance dV/dI(V) of Ge - PtIr point contacts. The superconducting (SC) features disappear above 6 K or above 1 T, what can be taken as the critical…
Nickel/bismuth (Ni/Bi) bilayers are a promising platform for exploring unconventional superconductivity. Ferromagnetic Ni is coupled to Bi, a strong spin orbit metal that only becomes superconducting below approx 10 mK, forming a bilayer…
The electron pairing mechanism by the interfacial charge-induced adsorption mode of high-temperature superconductors is revealed. For the YBCO superconductors, the coupling of electrons and valence-flexible state of oxygen ions forms a…
We revisit the effect of surface roughness on midgap Andreev edge states (MAES) in p- and d- wave superconductors. For a perfectly specular surface, MAES form a flat band at the Fermi energy, which manifests as a sharp midgap peak in the…
We report on the pressure dependence of superconducting transition temperature Tc and upper critical field Bc2(0) through electrical transport of the Ti4Co2O superconductor (eg.,the superconducting transition temperature Tc = 2.5 K and the…
The superconducting diode effect (SDE) enables nonreciprocal supercurrent flow, holding immense potential for ultra-low-power quantum electronics. Intrinsic SDE typically requires materials with inherent symmetry breakings. Here, we report…
Fast phase logic (FPL) is a novel digital superconductor electronic (SCE) logic family that employs multiple junction types, including switching 0-Josephson junctions (0-JJs), non-switching 0-JJ stacks, and $\pi$-JJs. FPL enables flexible,…
We consider the intrinsic fluctuation conductivity in metals with multiply sheeted Fermi surfaces approaching a superconducting critical point. Restricting our attention to extreme type-II multicomponent superconductors motivates focusing…
We study the interplay between superconductivity and altermagnetism in disordered systems using recently derived quantum kinetic transport equations. Starting from this framework, we derive the Ginzburg-Landau free energy and identify, in…
The superconducting diode effect (SDE), characterized by a nonreciprocal supercurrent, has attracted significant attention in recent years due to its potential applications. However, most studies have focused on weakly correlated models,…
The spin-paramagnetic limit sets a fundamental magnetic-field bound for conventional superconductors. Here we show that ultrathin NiBi$_3$ films develop a highly field-resilient superconducting state, with in-plane critical fields…
In this work, Landau's theory is revisited by renormalizing quadratic coefficients derived from nonlinear polynomial equations to account for system dimensionality. In this respect, the generated coefficients, which include an intrinsic…
The recently discovered superconductor $\mathrm{La_{3}Ni_{2}O_{7}}$ has attracted significant attention due to its remarkably high transition temperature ($T_{c}$) under high pressure. Shortly after this discovery, thin-film…
In Fig. 4c, under the section titled "Pinning and thermally activated motion of vortices" in arXiv:2206.14108 and Nat Phys. 19, 1293 (2023) [1], Minkov and co-workers presented the time dependence of the magnetic moment of sulfur hydride…
The superconducting diode effect (SDE), characterized by a nonreciprocal critical current in superconductors, has recently been observed in strongly correlated electron systems and near quantum criticality, pointing to unconventional…
Over the last decade, there has been steady research on superconducting junctions with a ferromagnet as the weak link, and where triplet correlations can transport supercurrents over a substantial distances. Of particular interest are…
Superconductors that spontaneously break time-reversal symmetry host complex order parameters and are widely regarded as a hallmark of unconventional superconductivity. Whether such symmetry breaking can also arise in superconductors with…
