We consider extreme type-II superconductors modeled by the Ginzburg--Landau energy with a pinning term $a_\varepsilon(x)$, which we assume to be a bounded measurable function such that $b\leq a_\varepsilon(x)\leq 1$ for some constant $b>0$.…
The suppression of Zeeman energy splitting due to spin-dependent interactions within a Bose-Einstein condensate (the spin Meissner effect) was predicted to occur up to a certain value of magnetic field strength. We report a clear…

The structure of the Meissner effect in a current-carrying cylindrical wire with arbitrary disorder is studied using a numerical procedure that is exact within the semiclassical approximation. A distribution of currents is found that is…
Spinning black holes tend to expel magnetic fields. In this way they are similar to superconductors. It has been a persistent concern that this black hole "Meissner effect" could quench jet power at high spins. This would make it impossible…
The theory of hole superconductivity predicts that in superconductors the charged superfluid is about a million times more rigid than the normal electron fluid. We point out that this physics should give rise to large changes in the bulk…
A new class of singlet superconductors with a gap function $\Delta(\bk, \omega_n)$ which is {\it odd} in both momentum and Matsubara frequency is considered. Some of the physical properties of this superconductivity are discussed and it is…
I discuss the process of magnetic field generation in rotating superconductors in simply connected and multiply connected geometries. In cooling a normal metal into the superconducting state while it is rotating, electrons slow down or…
We have discovered an oscillatory magnetoresistance phenomenon in a wide range of superconducting systems, with a periodicity that is essentially independent of temperature, transport current, magnetic field, and even material parameters.…
