We investigated the material parameters of several single-layer cuprates, including those with fluorinated buffer layers, with the aim of identifying possible high-temperature superconductors. To evaluate the material parameters, we use the…
The superconducting materials that make up an MKID have a significant effect on its performance. The $T_\textrm{c}$ and normal state resistivity $\rho_\textrm{N}$ of the film determine the penetration depth $\lambda$ and therefore how much…
It was recently pointed out that so-called "superhydrides", hydrogen-rich materials that appear to become superconducting at high temperatures and pressures, exhibit physical properties that are different from both conventional and…
Interfacial superconductivity is observed in a variety of heterostructures composed of different materials including superconducting and nonsuperconducting (at appropriate doping and temperatures) cuprates and iron-based pnictides. The…
This paper has been submitted to Science. It summarizes the experimental evidence for (and against) the interlayer theory. It was delayed in posting by clerical error.
Superconductivity has been investigated for over a century, but there are still open questions about what determines the critical current; the maximum current a superconductor can carry before switching to its normal state. For a given…
The electrical conductivity of disordered insulator-conductor composites have been studied for more than thirty years. In spite of this some properties of dc bulk conductivity of composites still remain incompletely understood. We present a…
A distinctive feature of layered conductors is the presence of low-energy electronic collective modes of the conduction electrons. This affects the dynamic screening properties of the Coulomb interaction in a layered material. We study the…
The main purpose of the paper is to present an overview of the current situation in the development of understanding of the mechanism of high-Tc superconductivity which arises due to moderately strong, nonlinear electron-phonon interactions…

The discovery of charge-density-wave order in the high-temperature superconductor YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{6+y}$ places charge order centre stage with superconductivity, suggesting they they are intertwined rather than competing.
It has long been a challenge to describe the origin of unconventional superconductivity. The two known examples with high Tc, based on iron and copper, have very different electronic structures, while other materials with similar electronic…
The field of superconductivity in the class of materials known as graphite intercalation compounds has a history dating back to the 1960s. This paper recontextualizes the field in light of the discovery of superconductivity in CaC6 and YbC6…

We propose a characterization of zero temperature phases in disordered superconductors on the basis of the nature of quasiparticle transport. In three dimensional systems, there are two distinct phases in close analogy to the distinction…
Iron-based superconductors were discovered seven years ago, in 2008. This short review summarizes what we learned about these materials over the last seven years, what are open questions, and what new physics we expect to extract from…

Electrides are a unique class of electron-rich materials where excess electrons are localized in interstitial lattice sites as anions, leading to a range of unique properties and applications. While hundreds of electrides have been…
The discovery of superconductivity in infinite-layer nickelates has attracted much attention due to their association to the high-$T_c$ cuprates. Cuprate superconductivity was first demonstrated in bulk samples and subsequently in thin…
