Among known Bechgaard and Fabre salts (TMTSF)2NO3 is unique since it never becomes superconducting even under pressure. Also, though (TMTSF)2NO3 undergoes the spin density wave (SDW) transition, the low temperature transport is semimetallic…

We derive the parallel upper critical field, Hc2, as a function of the temperature T in quasi-2D organic compound lambda-(BETS)2FeCl4, accounting for the formation of the nonuniform LOFF state. To further check the 2D LOFF model we propose…

Many experiments suggest that the unidentified low temperature phase (LTP) of alpha-(BEDT-TTF)_2KHg(SCN)_4 is most likely unconventional charge density wave (UCDW). To further this identification we present our theoretical study of the…
Measurements of the magnetic field penetration depth \lambda in the pyrochlore superconductor RbOs_2O_6 (T_c\simeq6.3 K) were carried out by means of the muon-spin-rotation (\muSR) technique. At low temperatures \lambda^{-2}(T) saturates…

We report 75As-nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) studies on (Ca_4Al_2O_{6-y})(Fe_2As_2) with Tc=27K, which unravel unique normal-state properties and point to unconventional nodeless superconductivity (SC). Measurement of…
We study fermionic superfluidity in a boson-single-species-fermion cold atom mixture. We argue that apart from the standard p-wave fermion pairing mediated by the phonon field of the boson gas, the system also exhibits s-wave pairing with…

Topological superconductivity is an exotic phenomenon due to the symmetry-protected topological surface state, in which a quantum system has an energy gap in the bulk but supports gapless excitations confined to its boundary. Symmetries…
