Electronic band structures (EBSs) for orthorhombic beta FeSe1-x at less than 16 K and up to 23 GPa using experimentally determined cell dimensions are evaluated for cosine-shaped bands near, or crossing, EF. Cosine shaped bands are present…
In the mixed state of type-II bulk superconductors, the magnetic field penetrates in the form of vortices enclosing one magnetic flux quantum: this is the conventional Abrikosov vortex lattice. Here, by using transverse muon-spin…
The diverse electronic properties of transition metal chalcogenides can be very sensitive to crystal imperfections. A new crystal growth technique, known as horizontal flux transport, offers a route to improved crystal quality. By refining…
High temperature superconductivity in cuprate superconductors is generally considered to be generated from doping the Mott insulators. The fundamental nature of the doped parent compounds as well as the microscopic origin of electron…
Scanning SQUID imaging of CaSb$_2$ reveals dense vortex clusters with enhanced boundary susceptibility and suppressed internal vortex motion, which features inconsistent with both isolated vortex and flux tube behaviors. These measurements…
Li$_2$AuH$_6$ and Li$_2$AgH$_6$ have been proposed as promising candidates for high-temperature superconductors under ambient pressure. While previous studies confirm the dynamic stability of these two thermodynamically unstable systems,…
Iron-based superconductors are a fascinating family of materials in which multiple electronic bands and strong antiferromagnetic (AFM) correlations are key ingredients for competing ground states, including antiferromagnetism, electronic…
Cooper-pair density modulation (CPDM) states are superconducting phases in which the order parameter varies periodically in real space without breaking translational symmetry. Recently, moire superlattices in layered materials have emerged…
Intertwined superconducting and magnetic orders may give rise to exotic quantum phases, including field-induced and re-entrant superconductivity. However, such magnetism-enhanced superconductivity has remained elusive in superconductors…
We derive a refraction law for superconducting vortices at superconductor/normal metal interfaces. Simulations of the proximity effect under tilted geometries confirm this law and reveal vortex trapping for low effective mass. Under…
Recently proposed by the author theory of the Q-balls mechanism of high-Tc superconductivity in cuprates is applied to explanation of known experimental data. The Q-balls (nontopological solitons) of coherently condensed spin/charge density…
We show that in disordered superconductors, at sufficiently low frequencies $\omega$, the coupling of TLS to external ac electric fields increases dramatically in the presence of a dc supercurrent. This giant enhancement manifests in all ac…
