Point-contact Andreev reflection spectroscopy (PCAR) has proven to be one of the most powerful tools in the investigation of superconductors, where it provides information on the order parameter (OP), a fundamental property of the…

We introduce a two-channel tunneling model to generalize the widely used BTK theory of point-contact conductance between a normal metal contact and superconductor. Tunneling of electrons can occur via localized surface states or directly,…

Critical behavior of the infrared reflectivity of RuSr_2GdCu_2O_8 ceramics is observed near the superconducting T_{SC} = 45 K and magnetic T_M = 133 K transition temperatures. The optical conductivity reveals the typical features of the…

Point-contact spectroscopy is a powerful tool for probing superconductors. One of the most common observations in the point-contact spectra on the recently discovered ferropnictide superconductors is a large conductance asymmetry with…

MoTe2 is a Weyl semimetal, which exhibits unique non-saturating magnetoresistance and strongly reinforced superconductivity under pressure. Here, we demonstrate that a novel mesoscopic superconductivity at ambient pressure arises on the…

Andreev reflection spectra have been measured in a new superconductor EuAsFeO0.85F0.15 having an unexpectedly low superconducting transition temperature Tc~11.3 K among related FeAs compounds on a base Sm and Gd surrounding Eu in the series…

We report a detailed study of specific heat, electrical resistivity and optical spectroscopy in the superconducting boride LuB12 (Tc = 0.4 K) and compare it to the higher Tc compound ZrB12 (Tc = 6 K). Both compounds have the same structure…

Electronic Raman scattering with in and out of (ab) plane polarizations have been performed on HgBa2Ca2Cu3O8+d in a slightly underdoped single crystal with a critical temperature Tc=122 K. We find that the d-wave pairing gap at the…

Conventional superconductivity follows Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer(BCS) theory of electrons-pairing in momentum-space, while superfluidity is the Bose-Einstein condensation(BEC) of atoms paired in real-space. These properties of solid metals…

We describe an experiment in superconductivity suitable for an advanced undergraduate laboratory. Point-contact spectroscopy is performed by measuring the differential conductance between an electrochemically etched gold tip and a 100-nm…

We study unconventional superconductivity in thin exfoliated single crystals of a promising 3D topological superconductor candidate, Nb-doped Bi$_2$Se$_3$ through Andreev reflection spectroscopy and magneto-transport. Measurements of…

Bulk samples of TbFeAsO$_{0.9}$F$_{0.1}$ (T$_{c}$(on) = 50K) were measured by point contact Andreev reflection spectroscopy. The spectra show unambiguous evidence for multiple gap-like features plus the presence of high bias shoulders. By…

We have investigated electronic structures and phonon spectra of newly discovered isostructural superconductors LaNiBN (T_c = 4.1 K) and LaPtBN (T_c = 6.7 K). We have found that their electronic structures are substantially…

The electron-phonon interaction (EPI) in transition metal diborides TB_2 (T=Zr, Nb, Ta) is investigated by point-contact (PC) spectroscopy. The PC EPI functions were recovered and the EPI parameters lambda<0.1 were estimated for all three…

The conductance curves of point-contact tunnel junctions between Ag and $\rm Ba_{1-x}K_xBiO_3$ ($x\simeq 0.4$) reveal a BCS behavior with low leakage current at zero voltage and some broadening of the superconducting-gap structure. In the…

Superconductivity (SC) is one of the most intriguing physical phenomena in nature. Nucleation of SC has long been considered highly unfavorable if not impossible near ferromagnetism, in low dimensionality and, above all, out of…

Using full-potential, density-functional-based methods we have studied electron-phonon interaction in ZrB2 and TaB2 in P6/mmm crystal structure. Our results for phonon density of states and Eliashberg function show that the electron-phonon…

The point-contact spectra of tetragonal $\rm YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-\delta}$ with $T_c=50-60~K$ are studied at various temperatures. The single-electron energy ($2\Delta_0/kT_c\simeq 17$) and its temperature dependence are determined. The…

In a recent experiment the superconducting gap of a single unit cell thick FeSe film on SrTiO$_3$ substrate is observed by scanning tunneling spectroscopy and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. The value of the superconducting gap…

High resolution angle-resolved photoemission measurements have been carried out to study the superconducting gap in the (Ba0.6K0.4)Fe2As2 superconductor with Tc=35 K. Two hole-like Fermi surface sheets around the G(0,0) point exhibit…
