We investigate the structural, electronic, and superconducting properties of a hexagonal BP3 monolayer using first-principles calculations combined with anisotropic Migdal-Eliashberg theory. The optimized structure exhibits a stable,…
The discovery of superconductivity in bulk Ruddlesden-Popper La$_3$Ni$_2$O$_7$(LNO327) under high hydrostatic pressure has redefined the recent experimental consensus that nickelate superconductivity is restricted to systems with a $3d^9$…
Topological superconductors (TSCs) in superconducting hybrid heterostructures, which integrate superconducting and non-superconducting materials, have been intensely investigated with the hope of discovering exotic non-Abelian anyons for…
We propose a theoretical model for a superconductor that exhibits the reentrant superconductivity in Zeeman fields. The Bogoliubov-de Gennes Hamiltonian includes three vectors in spin space: a $d$ vector of a spin-triplet superconducting…
Superconducting Quantum Interference Devices (SQUIDs), formed by incorporating Josephson junctions into loops of superconducting material, are the backbone of many modern quantum sensing systems. It has been demonstrated that, by combining…
We predict the realization of ultrastrong coupling between magnons of antiferromagnets and photons in superconductor/antiferromagnet/superconductor heterostructures at terahertz frequencies, from both quantum and classical perspectives. The…
Ruddlesden-Popper (RP) nickelates have emerged as a crucial platform for exploring the mechanisms of high-temperature superconductivity. However, the Fermi surface topology required for superconductivity remains elusive. Here, beyond the…
Lattice compression has emerged as a fundamental tuning parameter for nickelate superconductivity. Pressure acts as a trigger to induce superconductivity in bulk Ruddlesden-Popper nickelates. For infinite-layer nickelate thin films,…
We study the superconducting diode effect (SDE) in a diffusive superconductor - normal metal (SN) bilayer subjected to an in-plane magnetic field. The supercurrent flows along the layers, perpendicular to the field. The SDE, manifested as…
Altermagnetism generates exchange-type spin splitting without net magnetization and, in its $\it d$-wave form, resembles the angular symmetry of unconventional $\it d$-wave superconductivity. Whether this correspondence bears directly on…
We analyze magnetic field profiles of vortices in thin-film superconductors, shedding new light on this old and presumed settled problem. In sufficiently thin films with realistic Ginzburg-Landau parameter $\kappa = 1/\sqrt{2}$, the…
We report a systematic study of superconductivity on Fe1-xZnxSe single crystals synthesized over a broad Zn doping range (x = 0-0.023). High-quality single crystals across all compositions range exhibit superconducting transitions, while…
NbRe, a non-centrosymmetric superconductor with a transition temperature $T_\mathrm{c}$ up to 9\,K, attracts interest for its strong antisymmetric spin-orbit coupling and suitability for single-photon detection. While bulk and thin-film…
Beyond the quasi-two-dimensional (2D) paradigm of cuprates, the role of the third dimension of the Ruddlesden-Popper bilayer nickelates is essential to decoding their superconducting mechanism. Here, using angle-resolved photoemission…
We investigate the critical current in microwave-irradiated Josephson junctions hosting Yu-Shiba-Rusinov states due to magnetic impurities. Under two conditions, namely, (i) the breaking of particle-hole symmetry in the normal sense by…
We present a theory of the Josephson current in superconductor-normal metal-superconductor (SNS) junctions in the presence of generic spin-dependent fields, such as spin-orbit coupling (SOC), Zeeman fields, and altermagnetism. We consider…
