We study layered systems and heterostructures of s-wave superconductors by means of a suitable generalization of Dynamical Mean-Field Theory. In order to reduce the computational effort, we consider an embedding scheme in which a relatively…
Transport measurements are fundamental for understanding condensed matter phenomena, from superconductivity to the fractional quantum Hall effect. Analogously, they can be powerful tools for probing synthetic quantum matter in quantum…
We theoretically study coherent multiple Andreev reflections in a biased three-terminal Josephson junction. We demonstrate that the direct current flowing through the junction consists of supercurrent components when the bias voltages are…
Of the new types of cryoelectronic devices under development, including phase shifters, giant magnetoresistance switches, diodes, transistors, and memory cells, some are based on hybrid superconductor-normal metal or…
Key questions for any superconductor include: what is its maximum dissipation-free electrical current (its `critical current') and can this be used to extract fundamental thermodynamic parameters? Present models focus on depinning of…
We study experimentally the low temperature resistance of superconducting nanowires connected to normal metal reservoirs. We find that a substantial fraction of the nanowires is resistive, down to the lowest temperature measured, indicative…
Nickelate superconductors provide a valuable new platform for the study of unconventional superconductivity that is complementary to the cuprates. One of the central puzzles about high-temperature superconductors is what factors determine…
The following is a report on an experimental technique allowing to quantify and map the velocity field with a very high resolution and a simple equipment in large 2D devices. A simple Shlieren technique is proposed to reinforce the contrast…
The superfluid weight is an important observable of superconducting materials since it is related to the London penetration depth of the Meissner effect. It can be computed from the change in the grand potential (or free energy) in response…
Logarithmic voltage profile characteristic to two-dimensional current flows has been reported for several semiconductor surfaces. We analyse this phenomenon within a simple model of accumulation and inversion layers. Prompted by numerical…
It is shown that the temperature of the resistive transition $T_r$ of a superconducting film can be increased by a thin superconducting or normal overlayer. For instance, deposition of a highly conductive thin overlayer onto a dirty…
Microwave Fabry-Perot resonators containing nonlinear mesoscopic elements (such as superconducting nanowires) can be used to explore many-body circuit QED. Here, we report on observations of a superconductor-normal pulsing regime in…
The dynamics of transient current distributions in superconducting YBCO thin films were investigated during and immediately following an external field ramp, using high-speed (real-time) Magneto-Optical Imaging and calculation of dynamic…
A superconducting thin film with uniform properties is the key to realize nanowire superconducting single-photon detectors (SSPDs) with high performance and high yield. To investigate the uniformity of NbN films, we introduce and…
In this work we have done phenomenology based model calculations for some of the thermodynamic and electrodynamic properties of the strongly correlated superconductors of Cuprate type. The method involves the application of the theoretical…
Investigations into the propagation characteristics, specifically loss and wave velocity, of superconducting coplanar waveguides and microstrip lines were conducted at a 2 mm wavelength. This was achieved through the measurement of on-chip…
The critical current of a superconductor can be different for opposite directions of current flow when both time-reversal and inversion symmetry are broken. %When time-reversal and inversion symmetry are simultaneously broken, the critical…
Recently, superconductivity was discovered at very low densities in slightly misaligned graphene multilayers. Surprisingly, despite extremely low electronic density (about $10^{-4}$ electrons per unit cell), these systems realize…
The temperature and field dependence of the superfluid density $\rho_s$ in the vortex state of a d-wave superconductor are calculated using a microscopic model in the quasiclassical approximation. We show that at temperatures below T^{*}…
To assist the design of novel, highly efficient molecular junctions, a deep understanding of the precise charge transport mechanisms through these devices is of prime importance. In the present contribution, we describe a procedure to…
