In the presence of an external magnetic field, the low lying elementary excitations of a d-wave superconductor have quantized energy and their momenta are locked near the node direction. It is argued that these discrete states can most…
Recent numerical simulations have shown that the distribution of conductance P(g) in 3D strongly localized regiem differs significally from the expected log normal distribution. To understand the origin of this difference analytically, we…
We perform a well defined derivative expansion to obtain the time dependent effective theory for a BCS superconductor at finite temperature, using an arbitrary curve in the complex time plane. Our expansion is unique, being free of any…
We study a 2-dimensional model for an antidot periodic superlattice with perturbed positions of the antidots. To do so we use a quasiperiodic LG model obtained from a 3-dimensional billiard model. Our results show that infinite drifting…
We calculate the conductance of a superconductor/ferromagnet (S/F) mesoscopic structure in the dirty limit. First we assume that the ferromagnet exhibits a homogeneous magnetization and consider the case that the penetration of the…

The conductance of a normal-metal mesoscopic system in proximity to superconducting electrode(s) is calculated. The normal-metal part may have a general geometry, and is described as a ``circuit'' with ``leads'' and ``junctions''. The…

We consider a tracer particle on a lattice in the presence of immobile obstacles. Starting from equilibrium, a force pulling on the particle is switched on, driving the system to a new stationary state. We solve for the complete transient…
Pairing in the Weyl semi - metal appearing on the surface of topological insulator is considered. It is shown that due to an "ultra-relativistic" dispersion relation there is a quantum critical point governing the zero temperature…
In a disordered mesoscopic system, the typical spacing between the peaks and the valleys of the conductance as a function of Fermi energy $E_F$ is called the conductance energy correlation range $E_c$. Under the ergodic hypothesis, the…
We develop a theory of electron transport through quantum dots that are weakly coupled to ferromagnetic leads. The theory covers both the linear and nonlinear transport regime, takes non-collinear magnetization of the leads into account,…
Conventional superconductors are strong diamagnets that through the Meissner effect expel magnetic fields. It would therefore be surprising if a superconducting ground state would support spontaneous magnetics fields. Such time-reversal…
This paper is withdrawn. While almost all findings reported here remain valid, some of our comments on the fate of weak localization corrections to the conductance in the deep semiclassical limit are now obsolete. Contrarily to what was…
We investigate theoretically the non-local conductance through a superconducting wire in tunnel contact with normal and ferromagnetic leads. In the presence of an in-plane magnetic field, the superconducting density of states is spin-split,…
