The structural, superconducting, and electronic phase diagram of [Tl4]Tl1-xSnxTe3 is reported. Magnetization and specific heat measurements show bulk superconductivity exists for 0 < x < 0.4. Resistivity measurements indicate a crossover…
We have developed a fabrication process for nanoscale tunnel junctions which includes focused-ion-beam etching from different directions. By applying the process to a Nb/(Al-)Al_2O_3/Nb trilayer, we have fabricated a Nb single-electron…
Superconductivity with exotic properties has often been discovered in materials with a layered (two-dimensional) crystal structure. The low dimensionality affects the electronic structure of materials, which could realize a high transition…
We have optimized the growth of superconducting TaN thin films on \ch{SiO2} substrates via dc magnetron sputtering and extract a maximum superconducting transition temperature of $T_{\mathrm{c}}=5$ K as well as a maximum critical field…
Superconducting NbTiN thin films have garnered extensive interest due to their use in Superconducting Nanowire Single-Photon Detectors (SNSPDs) and other low-temperature applications for potential use in quantum computing and…
We study the temperature dependence of the superconductor-insulator transition in granular superconductors. Empirically, these systems are characterized by very broad resistance tails, which depend exponentially on the temperature, and the…
We observe a maximum in the conductance of Aluminum / n-GaAs junctions at temperatures 20 mK lower than the superconducting transition temperature. This is the first observation of a non- monotonic behavior of the conductance near the…
Recently, ultra-small-diameter Single Wall Nano Tubes with diameter of $ \sim 0.4 nm$ have been produced and many unusual properties were observed, such as superconductivity, leading to a transition temperature $T_c\sim 15^oK$, much larger…
We investigate the electrical and thermal transport properties of the $\alpha-T_3$ based normal metal-insulator-superconductor (NIS) junction using Blonder-Tinkham-Klapwijk (BTK) theory. We show that the tunneling conductance of the NIS…
Transition Metal Nitrides are a versatile class of materials, combining chemical robustness, high hardness, and superconducting behaviour with critical temperatures between 2 to 10 K. While several binary TMNs have been explored,…
Recent renewal of the highest transition temperature in a conventional superconductor of the sulfer hydride attracts much attention to exploring simple compounds with the lighter elements, situated in unconventional conditions. We report…
We investigate ultrathin superconducting TiN films, which are very close to the localization threshold. Perpendicular magnetic field drives the films from the superconducting to an insulating state, with very high resistance. Further…
Unconventional superconductivity has long been believed to arise from a lab-grown correlated electronic system. Here we report compelling evidence of unconventional nodal superconductivity in a mineral superconductor \rhs. We investigated…
New results from tunneling spectroscopies on near optimally-doped single crystals of Tl_{2}Ba_{2}CuO_{6} (Tl-2201) junctions are presented. The superconductor-insulator-normal metal (SIN) tunnel junctions are obtained using the…
Low-temperature specific heat (SH) is measured on the postannealed Ba(Fe_{1-x}Ni_x)_2As_2 single crystal with x = 0.058 under different magnetic fields. The sample locates on the overdoped sides and the critical transition temperature is…
This study presents a comprehensive investigation into the exceptional superconducting attributes of titanium nitride (TiN) achieved through plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposition (PEALD) on both planar and intricate three-dimensional (3D)…
The Josephson junction is a crucial element in superconducting devices, and niobium is a promising candidate for the superconducting material due to its large energy gap relative to aluminum. AlO$_x$ has long been regarded as the highest…
Niobium and its alloys with early transition metals have been extensively studied for their excellent superconducting properties. They have high transition temperatures, strong upper critical fields, and high critical current densities,…
We demonstrate a high electron conductivity (> 10^2 S/cm and up to 10^3 S/cm) of tungsten suboxide W18O(52.4-52.9)(or equivalently WO(2.91-2.94)) nanotubes (2 to 3 nm in diameter, ca. micrometer long). The conductivity is measured in the…
We report on the study of superconducting nanotips and nanobridges of lead with a Scanning Tunnelling Microscope in tunnel and point contact regimes. We deal with three different structures. A nanotip that remains superconducting under a…
