We show that the strong Nernst effect observed recently in amorphous superconducting films far above the critical temperature is caused by the fluctuations of the superconducting order parameter. We employ the quantum kinetic approach for…
A theory of the fluctuation-induced Nernst effect is developed for arbitrary magnetic fields and temperatures beyond the upper critical field line in a two-dimensional superconductor. First, we derive a simple phenomenological formula for…
In amorphous superconducting thin films of $Nb_{0.15}Si_{0.85}$ and $InO_x$, a finite Nernst coefficient can be detected in a wide range of temperature and magnetic field. Due to the negligible contribution of normal quasi-particles,…
When a superconductor is warmed above its critical temperature $T_c$, long range order is destroyed by fluctuations in the order parameter. These fluctuations can be probed by measurements of conductivity, diamagnetism, and of the Nernst…
Long-range order is destroyed in a superconductor warmed above its critical temperature (Tc). However, amplitude fluctuations of the superconducting order parameter survive and lead to a number of well established phenomena such as…
When a superconductor is heated above its critical temperature $T_c$, macroscopic coherence vanishes, leaving behind droplets of thermally fluctuating Cooper pair. This superconducting fluctuation effect above $T_c$ has been investigated…
We report measurements of the Nernst effect and of the magneto-resistance of granular aluminum films near the metal to insulator transition. These films show sharp transitions as a function of temperature and magnetic field. At low…
We present a complete analysis of the Nernst signal due to superconducting fluctuations in a large variety of superconductors from conventional to unconventional ones. A closed analytical expression of the fluctuation contribution to the…
We calculate the Nernst signal in disordered conductors with the chemical potential near the mobility edge. The Nernst effect originates from interference of itinerant and localised-carrier contributions to the thermomagnetic transport. It…
Superconducting thin films and layered crystals display a Nernst signal generated by short-lived Cooper pairs above their critical temperature. Several experimental studies have broadly verified the standard theory invoking Gaussian…
The Nernst effect is the transverse electric field produced by a longitudinal thermal gradient in presence of magnetic field. In the beginning of this century, Nernst experiments on cuprates were analyzed assuming that: i) The contribution…
The observation of a large Nernst signal in cuprates above the superconducting transition temperature has attracted much attention. A potential explanation is that it originates from superconducting fluctuations. Although the Nernst signal…
We study a model for the transverse thermoelectric response due to quantum superconducting fluctuations in a two-leg Josephson ladder, subject to a perpendicular magnetic field B and a transverse temperature gradient. The off-diagonal…
Alkali-doped fullerides are strongly correlated organic superconductors that exhibit high transition temperatures, exceptionally large critical magnetic fields and a number of other unusual properties. The proximity to a Mott insulating…
Unconventional superconductivity typically occurs in materials in which a small change of a parameter such as bandwidth or doping leads to antiferromagnetic or Mott insulating phases. As such competing phases are approached, the properties…
We study the Nernst effect in fluctuating superconductors by calculating the transport coefficient $\alpha_{xy}$ in a phenomenological model where relative importance of phase and amplitude fluctuations of the order parameter is tuned…
We calculate the contribution of superconducting fluctuations above the critical temperature $T_c$ to the transverse thermoelectric response $\alpha_{xy}$, the quantity central to the analysis of the Nernst effect. The calculation is…
We calculate the contribution of superconducting fluctuations to thermal transport in the normal state, for low magnetic fields. We do so in the Gaussian approximation to their critical dynamics which is also the Aslamazov-Larkin…
Ultrathin FeSe films on SrTiO3 substrate show interface-enhanced superconductivity. However, how the superconductivity is established including superconducting fluctuations remains unclear. This study investigates the Nernst effect, which…
We report beta-NMR investigations of polarized 8Li implanted in thin Pb and Ag/Nb films. At the critical superconducting temperature, we observe a singular peak in the spin relaxation rate in small longitudinal magnetic fields, which is…
