We report a muon spin relaxation ($\mu$SR) study on polycrystalline noncentrosymmetric superconductor NbGe$_2$~with the superconducting transition temperature $T_c=2.0\sim2.1$~K. Zero-field $\mu$SR~experiment indicates the absence of…

We have performed magnetization, specific heat, and muon spin relaxation ($\mu$SR) measurements on single crystals of the noncentrosymmetric superconductor Ir$_{2}$Ga$_{9}$. The isothermal magnetization measurements show that there is a…

Previous experimental and theoretical work has given evidence of the existence of doubly charged exciton states in strongly screened bilayers of transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) layers. These complexes are important because they are…

The overall, loaded quality factor $Q_\mathrm{L}$ quantifies the loss of energy stored in a resonator. Here we discuss on general grounds how $Q_\mathrm{L}$ of a planar microwave resonator made of a conventional superconductor should depend…

We present the ultralow-temperature thermal conductivity measurements on single crystals of transition-metal dichalcogenide material 4Hb-TaS$_{2}$, which has recently been proposed as a topological superconductor candidate. In zero field, a…

This study describes the synthesis and characterization of Nb2TiW and Nb2TiMo medium entropy alloys (MEAs). The Nb2TiW and Nb2TiMo MEAs can be successfully synthesized by an arc melting method. Their structures and superconducting…

The recent discovery of superconductivity in $\rm La_3Ni_2O_7$ has attracted significant attention due to its high critical temperature and analogy to cuprate oxides. The oxidation and spin states of Ni ions are among the most important…

We report transport measurements of infinite-layer cuprate Sr$_{1-x}$Eu$_{x}$CuO$_{2+y}$ films with controlled electron (by trivalent europium) and hole (by interstitial apical oxygen) carriers grown on SrTiO$_3$(001) with molecular beam…

Two-dimensional (2D) lithium-decorated materials have emerged as a significant area of study since the prediction of superconductivity in lithium-decorated graphene at temperatures around 8.1 K, with experimental evidence observed at Tc =…

Interaction between electrons and phonons in solids is a key effect defining physical properties of materials such as electrical and thermal conductivity. In transitional metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) the electron-phonon coupling results in…

In this paper theoretical analysis of the ladder-like multirow array of inductively coupled Josephson junctions is presented. An external dc current is applied at the top to each of the columns of the array and is extracted at the bottom of…

We analyze superconductivity in a multi-orbital fermionic system near the onset of a nematic order, using doped FeSe as an example. We associate nematicity with a spontaneous polarization between $d_{\text{xz}}$ and $d_{\text{yz}}$ orbitals…

While Nb3Sn theoretically offers better superconducting RF cavity performance (Q0 and Eacc) to Nb at any given temperature, peak RF magnetic fields consistently fall short of the 400 mT prediction. The relatively rough topography of…

Three-dimensional Dirac semimetals (DSMs) have been shown to exhibit one-dimensional hinge modes which are termed the higher-order hinge Fermi-arc (HOFA) states. They are the topological consequences of Dirac points. Superconducting states…

We consider optical response in multi-band, multi-layer two-dimensional superconductors. Within a simple model, we show that linear response to AC gating can detect collective modes of the condensate, such as Leggett and clapping modes. We…

Flux tuning of qubit frequencies in superconducting quantum processors is fundamental for implementing single and multi-qubit gates in quantum algorithms. Typical architectures involve the use of DC or fast RF lines. However, these lines…

In many unconventional superconductors the pairing interaction is believed to be mediated by a fluctuating order. Although this is typically taken to be magnetic in origin, the role of other fluctuating orders has recently been considered.…

The preceding Comment [1], previously posted as arXiv:2312.04495 [2], on our paper J. Supercond. Nov. Mag. 35, 3141 (2022) [3] provides a welcome opportunity to clarify what we understand to be pervading misconceptions by Eremets, Minkov…

Chiral superconductors are theorized to exhibit spontaneous edge currents. Here, we found magnetic fields at the edges of UTe$_2$, a candidate odd-parity chiral superconductor, that seem to agree with predictions for a chiral order…

We study the effect of diffuse surface scattering on the edge modes in two-dimensional chiral superconductors with time-reversal symmetry-breaking Cooper pairs, each carrying angular momentum $m \hbar$ ($m = 1,2,3, \cdots$). To elucidate…
