The Ginzburg-Landau (GL) theory is recast using a Hamiltonian involving the complete kinetic energy density which requires that the surface energy must contain a term \nabla |\psi|^2 to support superconducting (SC) states. The GL equations…

Thermal transport in the T -> 0 limit was measured as a function of doping in high-quality single crystals of the cuprate superconductor YBa_2Cu_3O_y. The residual linear term kappa_0/T is found to decrease as one moves from the overdoped…
In the asymptotic limit of a large Ginzburg-Landau parameter, we give a new asymptotic formula for the $L^2$-norm of the Ginzburg-Landau order parameter. The formula is valid in the bulk regime where the intensity of the applied magnetic…

The pair condensation energy of a finite-size superconducting particle is studied as a function of two control parameters. The first control parameter is the shape of the particle, and the second parameter is a position-dependent impurity…
We predict that in a bulk type-1.5 superconductor the competing magnetic responses of the two components of the order parameter can result in a vortex interaction that generates group-stabilized giant vortices and unusual vortex rings in…
Within the framework of Ginzburg-Landau theory we study the rich variety of interfacial phase transitions in twinning-plane superconductors. We show that the phase behaviour strongly depends on the transparency of the twinning plane for…
We study the three-dimensional Ginzburg-Landau model of superconductivity for strong applied magnetic fields varying between the second and third critical fields. In this regime, it is known from physics that superconductivity should be…
We will describe a new superconductivity mechanism, proposed by the authors in [1], which is based on a topologically ordered ground state rather than on the usual Landau mechanism of spontaneous symmetry breaking. Contrary to anyon…

Reentrant superconductivity in strong magnetic fields challenges the conventional expectation that magnetic fields necessarily suppress superconductivity. We show that reentrant superconducting instability can arise from the competition…
