Conventional superconductors respond to external magnetic fields by generating diamagnetic screening currents. However, theoretical work has shown that one can engineer systems where the screening current is paramagnetic, causing them to…

Dynamic charge transfers, or charge fluxes, generated by anharmonic phonon couplings have previously shown some fundamental connections with the pseudogap phase and other important phases in cuprate superconductors. The anharmonicity here…
