Extreme pressure strongly affects the superconducting properties of ``simple'' elemental metals, like Li, K and Al. Pressure induces superconductivity in Li (as high as 17 K), while suppressing it in Al. We report first-principles…

We study thermoelectric effects in superconducting nanobridges and demonstrate that the magnitude of these effects can be comparable or even larger than that for a macroscopic superconducting circuit. The reason is related to a possibility…

We argue based on theoretical considerations and analysis of experimental data that quasiparticle excitations near the nodes determine the low temperature properties in the superconducting state of cuprates. Quantum effects of phase…
