Superfluid states of symmetric nuclear matter with finite total momentum of Cooper pairs (nuclear LOFF phase) are studied with the use of Fermi-liquid theory in the model with Skyrme effective forces. It is considered the case of four-fold…
The Hamiltonian and trial function in the BCS theory are improved to test the limit of this theory. The Cooper pairs arise from standing electron waves, ready to move with atoms, giving high Tc. The Hamiltonian is derived from alternating…
A Borromean nucleus is a bound three-body system which is pairwise unbound because none of the two-body subsystem interactions are strong enough to bind them in pairs. As a consequence, the single-particle spectrum of a neutron in the core…
We study the correlations between two neutrons in borromian nuclei $^{11}$Li and $^6$He by using a three-body model with a density-dependent contact two-body interaction. It is shown that the two neutrons show a compact bound feature at the…
The Pippard coherence length $\xi_0$ (the size of a Cooper pair) in an extreme type-I superconductor was determined directly through high-resolution measurement of the nonlocal electrodynamic effect combining low-energy muon spin rotation…
The Cooper pair is generally analyzed in momentum space, but its real-space structure also follows directly from the BCS theory. It is shown here that this leads to a spherically symmetrical quasi-atomic wavefunction, with an identical…
Cooper pairing in two dimensions is analyzed with a set of renormalized equations to determine its binding energy for any fermion number density and all coupling assuming a generic pairwise residual interfermion interaction. \ Also…

While Josephson-like junctions, transiently established in heavy ion collisions ($\tau_{coll}\approx10^{-21}$ s) between superfluid nuclei --through which Cooper pair tunneling ($Q$-value $Q_{2n}$) proceeds mainly in terms of successive…
We consider cooling of neutron stars (NSs) with superfluid cores composed of neutrons, protons, and electrons (assuming singlet-state pairing of protons, and triplet-state pairing of neutrons). We mainly focus on (nonstandard) triplet-state…
A systematic study of the effects of hyperon couplings on hyperon superfluidity is conducted by using the relativistic mean field model. Combining the slope of symmetry energy, the hyperon couplings are determined in two ways -- by the…
A brief review is given of the current state of the problem of neutrino pair emission through neutral weak currents caused by the Cooper pairs breaking and formation (PBF) in superfluid baryon matter at thermal equilibrium. The cases of…
It has been argued by Buckley et. al.(Phys. Rev. Lett. 92, 151102, 2004) that nuclear matter is a type-I rather than a type-II superconductor. The suggested mechanism is a strong interaction between neutron and proton Cooper pairs, which…
Experiments with cold Fermi atoms can be tuned to probe strongly interacting fluids that are very similar to the low-density neutron matter found in the crusts of neutron stars. In contrast to traditional superfluids and superconductors,…
We study the heat capacity and neutrino emission reactions (direct and modified Urca processes, nucleon-nucleon bremsstrahlung, Cooper pairing of nucleons) in matter of supranuclear density of the neutron star cores with superfluid neutrons…
The finite-temperature phase structures for neutron-proton superfluidity in asymmetric nuclear matter are investigated, with a particular focus on the angular dependence of the pairing gap induced by the $^3SD_1$ $NN$ interaction. This…
We apply effective field theory and renormalization group techniques to the problem of Cooper pair formation in neutron stars. Simple analytical expressions for the $^1 S_0$ condensate are derived which are free of nuclear potential model…
We analyse how the spatial localisation properties of pairing correlations are changing in a major neutron shell of heavy nuclei. It is shown that the radial distribution of the pairing density depends strongly on whether the chemical…
We discuss in this paper both the past and the present of two-nucleon transfer reactions, as well as try to foresee the near future of such studies in nuclei, induced by light as well as by heavy ion reactions.
The two-flavor color superconductivity is studied over a wide range of baryon density with a single model. We pay a special attention to the spatial-momentum dependence of the gap and to the spatial-structure of Cooper pairs. At extremely…
