Conventional spin-singlet superconductivity that deeply penetrates into ferromagnets is typically killed by the exchange interaction, which destroys the spin-singlet pairs. Under certain circumstances, however, superconductivity survives…

A small number of superconductors are believed to exhibit intrinsic spin triplet pairing, and they are often discussed in terms of a simple, $^3$He-like picture where ferromagnetic spin fluctuations provide the "glue". However, in some…
Unlike noncentrosymmetric superconductors, the effects of spin singlet- and spin triplet-pairing mixing in centrosymmetric superconductors remain ambiguous. Recently, it was experimentally demonstrated that an anisotropically enhanced…
In conventional superconductors, electrons of opposite spins are bound into Cooper pairs. However, when the superconductor is in contact with a non-uniformly ordered ferromagnet, an exotic type of superconductivity can appear at the…

The properties of the known superconductors can be explained with the correlations dominated superconducting mechanism (CSM). The correlations have the spin correlation, the charge correlation and the spin-charge correlation, and their…
We consider a BCS-type model in the spin formalism and argue that the structure of the interaction provides a mechanism for control over directions of the spin $\vect S$ other than $S_z$, which is being controlled via the conventional…
Attempts to explain correlated-electron superconductivity have largely focused on the proximity of the superconducting state to antiferromagnetism. Yet, there exist many correlated-electron systems that exhibit insulator-superconducting…
In non-centrosymmetric superconductors, where the crystal structure lacks a centre of inversion, parity is no longer a good quantum number and an electronic antisymmetric spin-orbit coupling (ASOC) is allowed to exist by symmetry. If this…
The condensate of the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) pair in the ground state, which may contain information on both topology and spin pairing, promises the superconductivity of the system. In this paper, we study a singlet-triplet spin…
