We suggest a mechanism that may resolve a conflict raised by Link between the precession of a neutron star and the standard picture in which its core is composed of a mixture of a neutron superfluid and a type-II proton superconductor. We…
We analyze the complex interplay of the strong correlations and impurities in a high temperature superconductor and show that both the nature and degree of the inhomogeneities at zero temperature in the local order parameters change…
Dome-shape superconductivity phase diagram can commonly be observed in cuprate and iron-based systems via tuning parameters such as charge carrier doping, pressure, bond angle, and etc. We report doping electrons from transition-metal…
Several material families show competition between superconductivity and other orders. When such competition is driven by doping, it invariably involves spatial inhomogeneities which can seed competing orders. We study impurity-induced…
A new approach based on macro-orbital representation of a conduction electron in a solid has been used to discover some untouched aspects of the phonon induced attraction between two electrons and to lay the basic foundations of a general…

The physical mechanism of superconductivity is proposed on the basis of carrier-induced dynamic strain effect. By this new model, superconducting state consists of the dynamic bound state of superconducting electrons, which is formed by the…
In order to understand the emergence of superconductivity it is useful to study and identify the various pathways leading to the destruction of superconductivity. One way is to use the increase in Coulomb-repulsion due to the increase in…
The concept of interface superconductivity was introduced over 50 years ago. Some of the greatest physicists of that time wondered whether a quasi-two-dimensional (2D) superconductor can actually exist, what are the peculiarities of 2D…
The pair-fluctuation contribution reduces the electrostatic screening length in superconductivity as compared to the normal state. When a conductor possesses a static background charge distribution, superconductivity arises even in the…

Majorana Fermions, strange particles that are their own antiparticles, were predicted in 1937 and have been sought after ever since. In condensed matter they are predicted to exist as vortex core or edge excitations in certain exotic…
Spatial variation in the superconducting order parameter becomes significant when the system is confined at dimensions well below the typical superconducting coherence length. Motivated by recent experimental success in growing…

We have investigated, in the framework of proximity effect theory, the interface transparency T of superconducting/normal metal layered systems which consist of Nb and high paramagnetic Pd deposited by dc magnetron sputtering. The obtained…
High temperature copper-oxide-based superconductivity is obtained by adding carriers to insulating "parent compounds". It is widely believed the parent compounds are "Mott" insulators, in which the lack of conduction arises from anomalously…
We examine the modified electronic states at the interface between superconducting and ferro(para)-electric heterostructures. We find that electric polarization $P$ and superconducting $\psi$ order parameters can be significantly modified…
