A detailed interpretation of scanning tunneling spectra obtained on unconventional superconductors enables one to gain information on the pairing boson. Decisive for this approach are inelastic tunneling events. Due to the lack of momentum…
Superconductors are of type I or II depending on whether they form an Abrikosov vortex lattice. Although bulk lead (Pb) is classified as a prototypical type-I superconductor, we observe single-flux-quantum and multiple-flux-quanta vortices…
Recently, the Kagome metal CsTi$_3$Bi$_5$ has exhibited several novel quantum properties similar to CsV$_3$Sb$_5$, such as nontrivial topology, double-dome superconductivity, and flat band features. However, CsTi$_3$Bi$_5$ lacks the…
AeAFe4As4 (Ae = Ca, A = K; 1144) having a transition temperature of 35 K is a stoichiometric family of iron-based superconductors (FBS). Here, we present a detailed study of a high-pressure synthesis of CaKFe4As4 bulks to investigate the…
In this work we study the interaction between vortices and nematic domain walls within the framework of a Ginzburg Landau approach. The free energy of the system is written in terms of a complex order parameter characteristic of $s$-wave…
Two-dimensional topological superconductor (TSC) represents an exotic quantum material with quasiparticle excitation manifesting in dispersive Majorana mode (DMM) at the boundaries. A domain-wall DMM can arise at the boundary between two…
The recent discovery of superconductivity in Ruddlesden-Popper bilayer nickelate, specifically La$_3$Ni$_2$O$_7$, has generated significant interest in the exploration of high-temperature superconductivity within this material family. In…
The charge density wave (CDW) or nematicity has been found to coexist with superconductivity in many systems. It is thus interesting that the superconducting transition temperature $T_c$ in the doped BaNi$_2$As$_2$ system can be enhanced up…
Understanding the origin of superconductivity in correlated two-dimensional materials is a key step in leveraging material engineering techniques for next-generation nanoscale devices. The recent demonstration of superconductivity in Bernal…
A theory for cuprate superconductivity predicts the existence of nano-sized loop currents called, `` spin-vortex-induced loop currents (SVILCs)''. We calculate magnetic fields produced by them for a model of…
The most common allotrope of tungsten, {\alpha}-W, has a superconducting transition at a temperature of ~11 mK. However, two other forms of tungsten have been reported to have superconducting transitions in the temperature range Tc ~ 2-5 K…
Most theoretical treatments of inhomogeneous superconductivity/fermionic superfluidity have been based on the Bogoliubov-deGennes equations (or, else, on their various simplified forms), which implement a standard mean-field decoupling in…
A realistic description of the Josephson effect at finite temperature with ultra-cold Fermi gases embedded in nontrivial geometrical constraints (typically, a trap plus a barrier) requires appropriate consideration of pairing fluctuations…
Phonon anharmonicity plays a crucial role in determining the stability and vibrational properties of high-pressure hydrides. Furthermore, strong anharmonicity can render phonon quasiparticle picture obsolete questioning standard approaches…
Nonreciprocal superconducting devices have attracted growing interest in recent years as they potentially enable directional charge transport for applications in superconducting quantum circuits. Specifically, the superconducting diode…
We report a pressure-induced enhancement of the superconducting transition temperature (Tc) in a non-centrosymmetric (NCS) compound, LaPtGe. With pressure, till 3 GPa, we observed a modest enhancement of the Tc with a rate of 0.071 K/GPa.…
The Kitaev superconducting chain is a model of spinless fermions with triplet-like superconductivity. It has raised interest since for some values of its parameters it presents a non-trivial topological phase that host Majorana fermions.…
Beyond 14GPa of pressure, bi-layered La$_3$Ni$_2$O$_7$ was recently found to develop strong superconductivity above the liquid nitrogen boiling temperature. An immediate essential question is the pressure-induced qualitative change of…
