Atomic structure and electronic band structure are fundamental properties for understanding the mechanism of superconductivity. Motivated by the discovery of pressure-induced high-temperature superconductivity at 80 K in the bilayer…
The evolution of the vortex glass (VG) phase transition and vortex creep with decreasing film thickness is studied in ultrathin, polycrystalline niobium films, with thickness in the range 7.4 nm to 44 nm, using current-voltage…
Grain alignment is a key factor that determines the performance of a superconducting bulk. In this study, the spark plasma texturing (SPT) technique was used to fabricate a CaKFe$_4$As$_4$ superconducting bulk. X-ray diffraction and…
A high density CaKFe$_4$As$_4$ bulk sample was successfully synthesized using a spark plasma sintering (SPS) technique. The density of the synthesized sample was 5.02 g cm$^{-3}$, corresponding to 96.2% of the theoretical density of…
The magnetic exchange coupling between magnetic impurities and a superconductor induce so-called Yu-Shiba-Rusinov (YSR) states which undergo a quantum phase transition (QPT) upon increasing the exchange interaction beyond a critical value.…
We grew (Hg,Re)Ba$_2$Ca$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{8+\delta}$ ((Hg,Re)1223) single crystals with good reproducibility via the single-step flux method using monoxides as raw materials. A double-sealing method using a thick-walled quartz tube and a…
We use magnetoresistance measurements at high magnetic field (B \leq 65 T) and low temperature (T \geq 500 mK) to gain fresh insights into the behavior of the upper critical field, Hc2, in superconducting ultrathin FeSe films of varying…
We explore the possibilities for spin-singlet superconductivity in newly discovered altermagnets. Investigating $d$-wave altermagnets, we show that finite-momentum superconductivity can easily emerge in altermagnets even though they have no…
Topological superconductors support Majorana modes, which are quasiparticles that are their own antiparticles and which obey non-Abelian statistics in which successive exchanges of particles do not always commute. Here we investigate…
We present comprehensive investigations into the structural, superconducting, and topological properties of Bi$_2$PdPt. Magnetization and heat capacity measurements performed on polycrystalline Bi$_2$PdPt demonstrate a superconducting…
Niobium carbide (NbC) is a high-field Type II superconductor with a critical temperature ($T_C$) of 11.1 K, just above that of pure Nb ($T_C = 9$ K). Downsizing NbC to the nanoparticle scale introduces significant alterations in its…
Granular Aluminum is a superconductor known for more than eighty years, which recently found its application in qubits, microwave detectors and compact resonators, due to its high kinetic inductance, critical magnetic field and critical…
The topology of non-Hermitian systems is fundamentally changed by the non-Hermitian skin effect, which leads to the generalized bulk-boundary correspondence. Based on the non-Bloch band theory, we get insight into the interplay between the…
The discovery of high-temperature superconductivity near 80 K in bilayer nickelate La$_3$Ni$_2$O$_7$ under high pressures has renewed the exploration of superconducting nickelate in bulk materials. The extension of superconductivity in…
Unconventional superconductivity in bulk materials under ambient pressure is extremely rare among the 3d transition metal compounds outside the layered cuprates and iron-based family. It is predominantly linked to highly anisotropic…
The polar Kerr effect and the closely related anomalous charge Hall effect are among the most distinguishing signatures of the superconducting state in Sr$_2$RuO$_4$, as well as in several other compounds. These effects are often thought to…
Andreev reflection at a normal-superconductor interface may be accompanied with an anomalous spatial shift. The studies so far are limited to the top incidence configuration. Here, we investigate this effect in the side incidence…
We conduct local magnetic measurements on superconducting thin-film samples of Sr$\mathrm{_2}$RuO$\mathrm{_4}$ using scanning Superconducting Quantum Interference Device (SQUID) susceptometry. From the diamagnetic response, we extract the…
We present the first $ab$-$initio$ study of superconductivity in NbTi, the workhorse for many applications. Despite its apparent simplicity, NbTi turns out to be a major challenge for computational superconductivity. In fact, anharmonic…
