We report numerical simulations of coupled sine-Gordon and heat diffusion equations describing dynamic states stimulated by a trapped vortex driven by dc current in a stack of up to $N=321$ Josephson junctions. It is shown that the…
The iron-based superconductors (IBSs) of the recently discovered 1144 class, unlike many other IBSs, display superconductivity in their stoichiometric form and are intrinsically hole doped. The effects of chemical substitutions with…
Inspired by the recent experiments in monolayer iron-based superconductors, we theoretically investigate properties of a two-dimensional multiband superconductor, focusing on two aspects. First, for vortex bound states, the spatial…
The field-free and highly efficient diodes with the nonreciprocity of supercurrent are believed to be the core block of the superconducting computing devices without dissipation. In this paper, we propose a Josephson diode based upon…
Spin- and charge-lattice interactions are potential key factors in the microscopic mechanism of high-temperature superconductivity in cuprates. Although both interactions can dramatically shape the low-energy electronic structure, their…
We calculate the damping rate of Josephson plasmons due to thermally excited quasiparticles in a nonequilibrium steady state. It is known that the experimentally observed dependence of the damping rate on the phase difference behaves in the…
Through either elements intercalation or application of pressure, transition metal dichalcogenide 1T-TiSe2 exhibits superconductivity in proximity to a charge density wave (CDW) quantum critical point (QCP), thus providing an ideal avenue…
Using density functional theory within the local density approximation we report a study of the electron-phonon coupling in NbC$_{1-x}$N$_x$ and NbN crystals in the rocksalt structure. The Fermi surface of these systems exhibits important…
We demonstrate complete control over dynamics of a single superconducting vortex in a nanostructure which we coin the Single Vortex Box (SVB). Our device allows us to trap the vortex in a field-cooled aluminum nanosquare and expel it on…
As a signature of competing correlations, stripes occur in a variety of strongly correlated systems, such as high temperature superconductors (SCs) and quantum Hall effect. We study a double layer SC in the presence of a parallel magnetic…
Understanding the physics of doping a charge transfer insulator is the most important problem in high-temperature superconductivity. In this work, we show that an in-gap bound state emerges from the localized hole of the doped charge…
The kink structure in band dispersion usually refers to a certain electron-boson interaction, which is crucial in understanding the pairing in unconventional superconductors. Here we report the evidence of the observation of a kink…
We designed and investigated a series of ternary hydride compounds MXH$_{12}$ crystallizing in the cubic $Pm\overline{3}m$ structure as potential rare-earth and alkaline-earth superconductors. First-principles calculations were performed on…
A hallmark of unconventional superconductors is their complex electronic phase diagrams where "intertwined orders" of charge-spin-lattice degrees of freedom compete and coexist as in copper oxides and iron pnictides. While the electronic…
The natural bulk van der Waals heterostructures compound 6R-TaS2 consists of alternate stacking 1T- and 1H-TaS2 monolayers, creating a unique system that incorporates charge-density-wave (CDW) order and superconductivity (SC) in distinct…
Ever since the discovery of the charge density wave (CDW) transition in the kagome metal CsV$_3$Sb$_5$, the nature of its symmetry breaking is under intense debate. While evidence suggests that the rotational symmetry is already broken at…
Motivated by the recent discovery of superconductivity in La$_3$Ni$_2$O$_7$ under pressure, we discuss the basic ingredients of a model that captures its microscopic physics under pressure tuning. We anchor our description in terms of the…
The pairing symmetry of Sr$_2$RuO$_4$ is a long-standing fundamental question in the physics of superconducting materials with strong electronic correlations. We use the functional renormalization group to investigate the behavior of…
Multiorbital models are important to both the correlation physics and topological behavior of quantum materials. LiFeAs is a prototype iron pnictide suitable for indepth investigation of this issue. Its electronic structure is strikingly…
Motivated by the recent experimental realization of a minimal Kitaev chain in quantum dot systems, we present our theoretical findings on the dynamics and fusion of MZMs at or near the $``$sweet spot" $t_h = \Delta$ (where the fermionic…
