Spin singlet superconductors with quasi-two dimensional multilayer structure are studied in high magnetic fields. Specifically we concentrate on bi- and tri-layer systems whose layers by symmetry are subject Rashba-type spin-orbit coupling.…
A novel state is predicted for a S/F heterostructure. It is shown that the equilibrium F/S bilayer can be in a bistable state: one state is ground and the other is metastable. One of these states is always normal and the other is…
An integrating theoretical scenario of superconductivity and superfluidity has been built. It reduces to the special BCS superconductivity mechanism for conventional superconductor and to a new theory for high transition temperature…
Though commonly unrecognized, a superconducting BCS condensate consists of equal numbers of two-electron (2e) and two-hole (2h) Cooper pairs (CPs). A complete (in the sense that 2h-CPs are not ignored) boson-fermion statistical model,…

We discuss the possibility of coexistence of spin density wave (antiferromagnetism) and triplet superconductivity as a particular example of a broad class of systems where the interplay of magnetism and superconductivity is important. We…
The interplay between unconventional superconductivity and altermagnetic order has attracted much attentions. In particular, whether spin-triplet superconductivity can be achieved by suppressing altermagnetism remains an open issue. We…
In the BCS theory of superconductivity, one assumes that all Cooper pairs have the same center of mass momentum. This is indeed enforced by self consistency, if the pairing interaction is momentum independent. Here, we show that for an…
Bilayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) belong to a class of materials with two unique features, the coupled spin-valley-layer degrees of freedom and the crystal structure that is globally centrosymmetric but locally…
The spin-triplet state is most likely realized in uranium ferromagnetic superconductors, UGe2, URhGe, UCoGe. The microscopic coexistence of ferromagnetism and superconductivity means that the Cooper pair should be realized under the strong…
Superconductivity, a state in which electrical currents can flow without resistance, occurs because of pairing of electrons into quasiparticles with integer spin $S$. In practically all known superconducting materials, these pairs form a…
