We study quasiparticles of d-wave superconductors in the vortex lattice by self-consistently solving the Bogoliubov-de Gennes equations. It is found for a pure $d_{x^2-y^2}$ state that: (i) low-energy quasiparticle bands in the magnetic…
The conductance through a semi-infinite one-dimensional wire, partly embedded in a superconducting bulk electrode, is studied. When the electron-electron interactions within the wire are strongly repulsive, the wire effectively decouples…
