Measurements of the penetration depth $\lambda (T,H)$ in the presence of a DC magnetic field were performed in $MgB_2$ wires. In as-prepared wires $\lambda (T,H<130 Oe)$ shows a strong diamagnetic downturn below $\approx 10 K$. A DC…

Charge density wave (CDW), the periodic modulation of the electronic charge density, will open a gap on the Fermi surface that commonly leads to decreased or vanishing conductivity. On the other hand superconductivity, a commonly believed…
Proximity effect is a very powerful approach and has been widely applied to induce electron correlations such as: superconductivity, magnetism and spin-orbit effects at the interface of heterostructure quantum materials. However, proximity…
It was recently demonstrated that wire guide roughness can be suppressed by modulating the wire currents so that the atoms experience a time-averaged potential without roughness. We theoretically study the limitations of this technique. At…
