A model, based on classical mechanics and thermodynamics and valid for \textit{all} superconductors, is devised to investigate the properties of the \textit{current-driven}, superconducting to normal transition. This process is shown to be…
I argue that the conventional BCS-London theory of superconductivity does not explain the most fundamental property of superconductors, the Meissner effect: how is the Meissner current generated, and how is it able to defy Faraday's law?…

The description of superconductivity at high temperature is a problem that has recently been addressed. Transition temperature of superconductivity, $T_c$, depends on the lattice structure type, size, and room pressure. In super-lattices…
We show that resonant electron transport in semiconductor superlattices with an applied electric and tilted magnetic field can, surprisingly, become more pronounced as the lattice and conduction electron temperature increases from 4.2 K to…
Superconductivity of a micron-sized hydride sample measured between metal probes under extreme pressure could be considered as a macroscopic quantum tunnelling phenomenon through metal-hydride-metal. The energy barrier height of hydride is…
