The superconducting state is achieved by the condensation of Cooper pairs and is protected by the superconducting gap. The pairing interaction between the two electrons of a Cooper pair determines the superconducting gap function. Thus, it…
Eigenstate multifractality is a distinctive feature of non-interacting disordered metals close to a metal-insulator transition, whose properties are expected to extend to superconductivity. While multifractality in three dimensions (3D)…
We present differential conductance measurements of Cobalt / Cobalt-Oxide / Indium planar junctions, 500nm x 500nm in size. The junctions span a wide range of barriers, from very low to a tunnel barrier. The characteristic conductance of…
The nature of the superconducting order parameter in {Sr}$_2${RuO}$_4$ has generated intense interest in recent years. Since the superconducting gap is very small, high resolution methods such as scanning tunneling spectroscopy might be the…
The structure of the superconducting gap provides important clues on the symmetry of the order parameter and the pairing mechanism. The presence of nodes in the gap function imposed by symmetry implies an unconventional order parameter,…
We study the current noise spectra of a tunnel junction of a metal with strong pairing phase fluctuation and a superconductor. It is shown that there is a characteristic peak in the noise spectrum at the intrinsic Josephson frequency…
Composites consisting of MgB2 and Al, 11% by volume, undergo a transition to superconductivity onset at TC = 38 K, close to the value reported for pure MgB2. The transition appears to have broadened, as determined by both magnetic and…
Reproducible scanning tunneling microscope (STM) spectra of $Bi_2Sr_2CaCu_2O_{8+\delta}$ consistently exhibit asymmetric tunneling characteristics, with the higher peak conductance corresponding to a negatively biased sample. We consider…
We study the phase transition of a star-shaped superconductor, which covers smoothly the range from zero to two dimensions with respect to the superconducting coherence length. Detailed measurements and numerical calculations show that the…
We demonstrate that the electronic bandstructure extracted from quasi-particle interference spectroscopy [Nat. Phys. 9, 468 (2013)] and the theoretically computed form of the superconducting gaps [Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci. 111, 11663 (2014)]…
Both the differential tunneling conductance and the surface local density of states (LDOS) of a [110]-oriented high-temperature superconductor in the pseudogap (PG) regime are studied theoretically. As a competing candidate for the…
Point contact spectroscopy measurements have been performed on Nb/PdNi bilayers in which the thickness of the Nb layer, dNb, was kept constant to 40 nm while the thickness of PdNi, dPdNi, was changed from 2 nm to 9 nm. Features related to…
Recent scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) observation of U-shaped and V-shaped spectra (and their mixture) in superconducting Nd$_{1-x}$Sr$_x$NiO$_2$ thin films has been interpreted as presence of two distinct gap symmetries in this…
Motivated by experiments on rhombohedral tetralayer graphene showing signs of superconductivity emerging from a valley-polarized normal state, we here analyze theoretically how scanning tunneling spectroscopy can be used to probe the…
We have performed temperature dependent tunneling spectroscopy on an impurity-free surface area of a LiFeAs single crystal. Our data reveal a highly unusual temperature evolution of superconductivity: at $T_c^*=18$~K a partial…
The tunneling density of states of HTSC is calculated taking into account tight binding band structure, group velocity, and tunneling directionality for s-wave and d-wave gap symmetry. The characteristic density of states has quasiparticle…
We investigate quantum transport in a normal/superconductor graphene heterostructure, including the possibility of an anisotropic pairing potential in the superconducting region. We find that under certain circumstances, the conductance…
We investigate numerically the signatures of collective modes in the tunneling spectra of superconductors. The larger strength of the signatures observed in the high-Tc superconductors, as compared to classical low-Tc materials, is…
Using scanning tunneling spectroscopy at T = 4.2 K, we perform simultaneously the topographic imaging and the quasiparticle density of states (DOS) mapping in granular MgB2. We observe a new type of spectrum, showing a pronounced double…
The orthorhombic compound AuSn4 is compositionally similar to the Dirac node arc semimetal PtSn$_4$. AuSn$_4$ is, contrary to PtSn$_4$, superconducting with a critical temperature of T$_c$ = 2.35 K. Recent measurements present indications…
