Superperiodic patterns were observed by STM on two kinds of finite-sized graphene sheets. One is nanographene sheets inclined from a highly oriented pyrolitic graphite (HOPG) substrate and the other is several-layer-thick graphene sheets…

The analogies between optical and electronic Goos-H\"{a}nchen effects are established based on electron wave optics in semiconductor or graphene-based nanostructures. In this paper, we give a brief overview of the progress achieved so far…

We investigate the properties and the microscopic structure of superconductivity (SC), coexisting and sharing the common conducting band with density wave (DW). Such coexistence may take place when the nesting of the Fermi surface (FS) is…

We investigate the influence of gauge fields induced by strain on the supercurrent passing through the graphene-based Josephson junctions. We show in the presence of a constant pseudomagnetic field ${\bf B}_S$ originated from an arc-shape…

A new method which allows one to study multiple coherent reflection/transmissions by partially transparent interfaces, (e.g., in multi-layer mesoscopic structures or grain boundaries in high-Tc's), in the framework of the quasiclassical…

We study the proximity effects near the interface between a d-wave superconductor (S) and a ferromagnet (F) or an antiferromagnet (AF). The S-side (F and AF-side) is described by the attractive (repulsive) Hubbard model, and the Bogoliubov…

We study the superconducting proximity effect in a quantum wire with broken time-reversal (TR) symmetry connected to a conventional superconductor. We consider the situation of a strong TR-symmetry breaking, so that Cooper pairs entering…

We model the quantum Hall effect in heterostructures made of two gapped graphene stripes with different gaps, $\Delta_1$ and $\Delta_2$. We consider two main situations, $\Delta_1=0,\Delta_2\neq0$ and $\Delta_1=-\Delta_2$. They are…

The ability to induce a sizable gap in the excitation spectrum of a normal layer placed in contact with a conventional superconductor has become increasingly important in recent years in the context of engineering a topological…

Motivated by the recent observation of the shell effect in a nanoscale pure superconductor by Bose {\em et al} [Nat. Mat. {\bf 9}, 550 (2010)], we explore the possible shell-like effect in a strongly disordered superconductor as it is known…

We investigate Andreev reflection (AR) in a proximity-induced normal-superconductor (NS) junction within the extended $\alpha-\mathcal{T}_3$ lattice, emphasizing the impact of flat bands on AR. Our findings reveal that flat bands…

We investigate one aspect of the proximity effect, viz., the local density of states of a superconductor-normal metal sandwich. In contrast to earlier work, we allow for the presence of an arbitrary concentration of impurities in the…

The coupling of spin and electronic degrees of freedom via the spin-orbit interaction (SOI) is an essential ingredient for many proposed future technologies. However, probing the strength and nature of SOI is a significant challenge,…

The coherent Goos-H$\ddot{a}$nchen shifts of meta-grating are proposed, which is the Goos-H$\ddot{a}$nchen shifts of the two outgoing beams under the simultaneous incidence of two coherent optical beams from opposite sides of the grating…

Studies of the structural, electronic, and optical characteristics of the interfaces between graphene and ZnO polar surfaces is carried out using first-principles simulations. At the interface, a strong van der Waals force is present, and…

We argue that, for the recent experiments with imbalanced fermion gases, a temperature difference may occur between the normal (N) and the gapped superfluid (SF) phase. Using the mean-field formalism, we study particle scattering off the…

The combination of superconductivity and quantum Hall (QH) effect is regarded as a key milestone in advancing topological quantum computation in solid-state systems. Recent quantum interference studies suggest that QH edge states can…

We highlight a new "transverse" interference effect, arising from the coupling between electrons and holes, induced by a superconducting island in contact with a normal metal. As an example we compute the electrical conductance G of a…

The longitudinal and the transverse beam shifts, namely, the Goos-H\"anchen (GH) and the Spin-Hall (SH) shifts are usually observed at planar interfaces. It has recently been shown that the transverse SH shift may also arise due to…

We show, by means of micromagnetic simulations, inelastic scattering of spin-wave beams on edge-localized spin waves modes. The outcome of the investigated inelastic scattering is creation of new spin-waves beams of frequencies shifted by…
