Superconductivity
Understanding the role of confinement while crystallizing nanocrystals is very relevant for predicting their structure and physical properties. With this aim we perform Langevin dynamics simulations of nanocrystals of the model system of…
We investigate the strain response of underdoped HgBa$_2$CuO$_{4+\delta}$ (Hg1201), by synchrotron X-ray diffraction and corresponding simulations of thermal diffuse scattering. The compression in the crystallographic $a$ direction leads to…
Chemical composition provides a powerful route to tune the electronic ground state of iron-based superconductors and other quantum materials, yet access to highly doped phases remains limited. Here we demonstrate that high-pressure thermal…
Discovery of high-$T_c$ superconductivity (SC) in the bilayer nickelate series La$_3$Ni$_2$O$_7$ have attracted substantial interest, providing a new platform for exploring unconventional SC. Certain experimental evidence has pointed to a…
Nonmagnetic kagome metals and superconductors AV3Sb5 (A = K, Rb, Cs) host unconventional charge density wave (CDW) and superconducting (SC) phases accompanied by multiple electronic symmetry breaking. Due to the centrosymmetric crystal…
We consider a superconducting altermagnet heterostructure and demonstrate that the interplay between altermagnetism and a selective filter of transverse momentum channels enables perfect nonreciprocal spin-polarized currents. We demonstrate…
Spin fluctuations have been generally believed as the pairing glue of high-$T_c$ superconductivity. Recent inelastic neutron scattering (INS) studies have revealed a weak flat spin-fluctuation signal around 45 meV in the bilayer nickelate…
We demonstrate the realization and interplay of two ferromagnetic resonances in one SFS $\varphi_0$ Josephson junction. First resonance that is realized under microwave radiation is the famous Kittel resonance. The other is Buzdin one…
High-transition-temperature ($T_{C}$) superconductivity is recently discovered in Ruddlesden-Popper (RP) nickelate films with extraordinarily strong oxidation. While investigating phase diagrams is essential for uncovering the…
We argue that rotation of a thin superconducting cylinder can increase the critical superconducting temperature substantially. A purely rotational effect originates from the tendency of a steadily rotating mechanical system to maximize its…
We measure magneto-transport and critical currents in Bi$_2$Sr$_2$CaCu$_2$O$_{8+x}$ Hall bar devices. Above critical current in an applied magnetic field, we observe longitudinal differential voltage along one edge comparable in magnitude…
Superconducting films emerge from the complex interplay of multiple growth parameters, making their optimization challenging. In iron-based superconductors, compressive strain is known to enhance the transition temperature (Tc) of FeSe…
Full Heusler alloys XInPd2 (X= Zr, Hf and Ti) have recently attracted significant attention owing to their symmetry-driven electronic structure and also due to the interplay between disorder and emergent ground states. Within this family,…
The electronic properties of the high-temperature superconducting cuprates are encoded in complex sets of NMR data, but without microscopic theory, reliable NMR phenomenologies are in demand. Early analyses of NMR could only focus on very…
We present AngstromPro, a versatile, modular and open-source software built on Python for managing, visualizing and analyzing large datasets acquired via Scanning Tunneling Microscopes (STM). Its robust architecture features a top-level…
Polar metals and noncentrosymmetric superconductors are exceptionally rare, yet their broken inversion symmetry can give rise to emergent electronic phenomena including mixed singlet-triplet superconducting pairing. As only a few such…
We investigate the interplay between superconductivity and nematic order in a two-dimensional electron gas with competing pairing and quadrupolar forward-scattering interactions. The model includes both $s$-wave and $d$-wave superconducting…
The discovery of superconductivity with Tc ~ 80 K in the nickelate Ruddlesden-Popper bilayer La3Ni2O7 at high pressure has opened a new platform for unconventional superconductivity, followed by the subsequent observation of…
Superconducting altermagnets have proven to be a promising ground for emergent phenomena, but their study has involved two-dimensional systems. In this work, we investigate three-dimensional $d$- and $g$-wave altermagnets with spin-singlet…
The Higgs mode, originally proposed in the context of superconductivity, corresponds to oscillations of the amplitude of the superconducting order parameter. Recent THz-domain optical studies have found signatures consistent with the Higgs…
