Upon application of an external tuning parameter, a magnetic state can be driven to a normal metal state at zero temperature. This phenomenon is known as quantum criticality and leads to fascinating responses in thermodynamics and transport…
The electromagnetic properties of superconductors near a ferromagnetic instability are investigated by means of a generalized Ginzburg-Landau theory. It is found that the magnetic flux expulsion capability of the superconductor gets…
We study the fate of superconductivity in the vicinity of a class of metallic quantum critical points obtained by coupling a Fermi surface to a critical boson. In such systems there is a competition between the enhanced pairing tendency due…
We consider systems which exhibit typical critical dependence of the specific heat: $\Delta c\varpropto (T_C-T)^{-\gamma}$ ($T<T_C$); $\Delta c\varpropto (T-T_C)^{-\gamma ^{\prime}}$ ($T>T_C$) where $\gamma $,$\gamma ^{\prime}$ are critical…
We consider superconductors of Type II near the transition from the 'bulk superconducting' to the 'surface superconducting' state. We prove a new $L^{\infty}$ estimate on the order parameter in the bulk, i.e. away from the boundary. This…
Suppressing of an ordered state that competes with superconductivity is one route to enhance superconducting transition temperatures. Whereas the effect of suppressing magnetic states is still not fully understood, materials featuring…
The discovery of high-temperature superconductivity in compressed H3S by Drozdov and co-workers (A. Drozdov, et. al., Nature 525, 73 (2015)) heralded a new era in superconductivity. To date, the record transition temperature of Tc = 260 K…
We discuss the occurrence of crossing points in the magnetization - temperature $(m,T$) plane within the framework of critical phenomena. It is shown that in a two-dimensional superconducting slab of thickness $d_{s}$ $m_{z}(\delta)$ versus…
Departing from the assumption that pairing is induced by an retarded external 'bosonic glue', we reformulate the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer theory of superconductivity as a scaling theory. Conventional superconductors correspond with the…
We present a study of the temperature-magnetic field phase diagram of homogeneous and inhomogeneous superconductivity in the case of a quasi-two-dimensional superconductor with an extended saddle point in the energy dispersion under a…
We point out that ferromagnetic superconductors with triplet pairing and strong spin-orbit coupling are even in the simplest case at least two-band superconductors. The Gor'kov type formalism for such superconductors is developed and the…
The critical temperature (${T}_\text{c}$) of superconductors varies a lot. The factors governing the ${T}_\text{c}$ may hold key clues to understand the nature of the superconductivity. Thereby, ${T}_\text{c}$-involved correlations, such as…
The recently-discovered MgB2 super-conductor has a transition temperature Tc approaching 40K, placing it intermediate between the families of low and high temperature super-conductors (LTS and HTS). In practical applications,…
By evaluating the upper and thermodynamic critical fields, $H_{c2}$ and $H_c$, and their ratio $H_{c2}/H_c $ at arbitrary temperatures, we argue that situations are possible when a type-II material is transformed to type-I by adding…
The superconducting gap - an energy scale tied to the superconducting phenomena-opens on the Fermi surface at the superconducting transition temperature (TC) in conventional BCS superconductors. Quite differently, in underdoped high-TC…
The trigonal ${\alpha}$-HgS has a 3-fold helical chain structure, and is in form of a noncentrosymmetric $P3_121$ phase, known as the cinnabar phase. However, under pressure, the helical chains gradually approach and connect with each…
Since the discovery of high-$T_c$ cuprates the quest for new superconductors has shifted toward more anisotropic, strongly correlated materials with lower carrier densities and competing magnetic and charge density wave orders. While these…
Magnetic fluctuations and electrons couple in intriguing ways in the vicinity of zero temperature phase transitions - quantum critical points - in conducting materials. Quantum criticality is implicated in non-Fermi liquid behavior of…
We study multigap superconductivity, with strong angular variations of one of the gaps, as appropriate for certain iron-based high-temperature superconductors. We solve the gap equations of this model and find that the nodes or zeroes in…
The magnetic flux dynamics of type-II superconductors within the critical state regime is posed in a generalized framework, by using a variational theory supported by well established physical principles. The equivalence between the…
