Superconductivity is observed in rhombohedral trilayer graphene in a narrow regime between the flavor-symmetric state and the symmetry breaking phase, which cannot be described by the conventional Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer theory. The…
Zero-energy flat bands within the superconducting gap can give rise to competing ordered phases. We investigate such phases in topological superconductors based on the magnetic adatom platform hosting a flat band of Majorana edge states.…
Ising spin-orbit coupling (ISOC) can strongly protect superconductivity against exchange-field-induced depairing, typically leading to critical fields far exceeding the Pauli limit and continuous (second-order) phase transitions. Here,…
Axion dark matter searches require superconducting radio-frequency (SRF) cavities on copper (Cu) substrates with quality factors Q > 10^5 in multi-tesla magnetic fields. Copper reduces thermal noise and allows complex geometries. Nb3Sn is a…
The size of Cooper pairs defines a fundamental length scale of superconductivity, conventionally set by band dispersion and the superconducting gap. This picture breaks down in flat bands, where quenched dispersion makes quantum geometry…
We studied enhanced superconductivity in point contacts (PCs) based on a type-I Weyl semimetal trigonal t-PtBi2 using both normal metal (Ag, Cu, Pt) and ferromagnetic (Fe, Co, Ni) tips by measuring the differential resistance dV/dI(V)…
CeRh$_{2}$As$_{2}$, a heavy fermion superconductor discovered in 2021, exhibits two distinct superconducting phases under a $c$-axis magnetic field. This unconventional phase diagram has been attributed to the local inversion symmetry…
We introduce a class of topological pairing orders characterized by a half-integer pair monopole charge, leading to Berry phase enforced half-integer partial wave symmetry. This exotic spinor order emerges from pairing between Fermi…
We have observed superconductivity in heavy p-doped Ge by measuring of differential resistance dV/dI(V) of Ge - PtIr point contacts. The superconducting (SC) features disappear above 6 K or above 1 T, what can be taken as the critical…
Nickel/bismuth (Ni/Bi) bilayers are a promising platform for exploring unconventional superconductivity. Ferromagnetic Ni is coupled to Bi, a strong spin orbit metal that only becomes superconducting below approx 10 mK, forming a bilayer…
The electron pairing mechanism by the interfacial charge-induced adsorption mode of high-temperature superconductors is revealed. For the YBCO superconductors, the coupling of electrons and valence-flexible state of oxygen ions forms a…
We revisit the effect of surface roughness on midgap Andreev edge states (MAES) in p- and d- wave superconductors. For a perfectly specular surface, MAES form a flat band at the Fermi energy, which manifests as a sharp midgap peak in the…
We report on the pressure dependence of superconducting transition temperature Tc and upper critical field Bc2(0) through electrical transport of the Ti4Co2O superconductor (eg.,the superconducting transition temperature Tc = 2.5 K and the…
The superconducting diode effect (SDE) enables nonreciprocal supercurrent flow, holding immense potential for ultra-low-power quantum electronics. Intrinsic SDE typically requires materials with inherent symmetry breakings. Here, we report…
Fast phase logic (FPL) is a novel digital superconductor electronic (SCE) logic family that employs multiple junction types, including switching 0-Josephson junctions (0-JJs), non-switching 0-JJ stacks, and $\pi$-JJs. FPL enables flexible,…
We consider the intrinsic fluctuation conductivity in metals with multiply sheeted Fermi surfaces approaching a superconducting critical point. Restricting our attention to extreme type-II multicomponent superconductors motivates focusing…
We study the interplay between superconductivity and altermagnetism in disordered systems using recently derived quantum kinetic transport equations. Starting from this framework, we derive the Ginzburg-Landau free energy and identify, in…
The superconducting diode effect (SDE), characterized by a nonreciprocal supercurrent, has attracted significant attention in recent years due to its potential applications. However, most studies have focused on weakly correlated models,…
The spin-paramagnetic limit sets a fundamental magnetic-field bound for conventional superconductors. Here we show that ultrathin NiBi$_3$ films develop a highly field-resilient superconducting state, with in-plane critical fields…
In this work, Landau's theory is revisited by renormalizing quadratic coefficients derived from nonlinear polynomial equations to account for system dimensionality. In this respect, the generated coefficients, which include an intrinsic…
