Uniaxial strain is a powerful tuning parameter that can control symmetry and anisotropic electronic properties in iron-based superconductors. However, accurately characterizing anisotropic strain can be challenging and complex. Here, we…
We predict two novel quantum drag effects which can occur in macroscopically quantum coherent Josephson circuits. We demonstrate that biasing one resistively shunted Josephson junction by an external current one can induce a non-zero…
Thermoelectric transport has been widely used to study Abrikosov vortex dynamics in unconventional superconductors. However, only a few thermoelectric studies have been conducted near the dimensional crossover that occurs when the…
The discovery of van der Waals superconductors in recent years has generated a lot of excitement for their potentially novel pairing mechanisms. However, their typical atomic-scale thickness and micrometer-scale lateral dimensions impose…
The superconducting diode effect (SDE) is a magneto-electric phenomenon where an external magnetic field imparts a non-zero center-of-mass momentum to Cooper pairs, either facilitating or hindering the flow of supercurrent depending on its…
We perform a theoretical investigation of the spin susceptibility of unconventional superconductivity on the kagome lattice. Despite the existence of a sign-changing gap structure, which sums to zero over the Fermi surface, we show that…
Developing strategies to systematically increase the critical current, the threshold current below which the superconductivity exists, is an important goal of materials science. Here, the concept of quantum phase transition is employed to…
The Josephson junction under consideration is composed of two s-wave superconducting contacts deposited on the top of a two-dimensional antiferromagnet (AF). Triplet Cooper correlations in AF are provided by thin ferromagnetic spacers…
Kagome superconductors AV3Sb5 (A = K, Rb, and Cs) have attracted considerable attention due to their intriguing combination of unique electron correlations and nontrivial band topology. The interplay of these fundamental aspects gives rise…
Conventional superconducting flux qubits require the application of a precisely tuned magnetic field to set the operation point at half a flux quantum through the qubit loop, which complicates the on-chip integration of this type of device.…
We discuss the instability of uniform superconducting states that contain the pairing correlations belonging to the odd-frequency symmetry class. The instability originates from the paramagnetic response of odd-frequency Cooper pairs and is…
Driven-dissipative physics lie at the core of quantum optics. However, the full interplay between a driven quantum many-body system and its environment remains relatively unexplored in the solid state realm. In this work, we inspect this…
A broken translation symmetry has recently been revealed in infinite-layer nickelates, which has piqued considerable interest in its origin and relation to superconductivity, as well as in its comparison to charge order in cuprates. Here,…
Delamination strength of REBCO is very important for its applications in large magnet projects. This work presented the transmission electron microscopy (TEM) investigation of the microstructures of the REBCO coated conductor to understand…
The quantum Josephson voltage standard is well established across the metrology community for many years. It relies on the synchronisation of the flux tunneling in the S/I/S Josepson junctions (JJ) with the microwave radiation (MW). The…
An indispensable ingredient for pair density wave (PDW) superconductivity is the presence of an attractive pairing interaction at finite momentum. Here, we show how this condition can be met with straightforward electron-density…
Magneto-transport measurements of Pr$_4$Ni$_3$O$_{10}$ single crystals performed under externally applied pressures up to 73 GPa in diamond anvil cells with either KBr or Nujol oil as pressure media yield signatures of superconductivity…
Electrides are unique materials because of the existence of interstitial anionic electrons (IAEs). Due to these loosely bound IAEs and their strong interaction with the framework of cations, electrides can host superconductivity with rather…
We analyze a model for electronic structure and interactions in twisted transition metal chalcogenide WSe$_2$ for superconductivity. In this material, spin-orbit scattering locks the z-components of spins of low-energy fermions near the…
REBCO tape has successfully used in ultra-high field magnets. Mechanically, it is very strong in its length direction but is prone to delamination in the thickness direction. In an epoxy impregnated REBCO magnet, thermal strain alone could…
