We present resistance versus temperature data for a series of boron-doped nanocrystalline diamond films whose grain size is varied by changing the film thickness. Upon extracting the fluctuation conductivity near to the critical temperature…
We study the fluctuation conductivity of superconducting granular metals at low temperatures and strong magnetic field destroying the Cooper pairs. Explicit calculations are performed for larger values of the coupling between the grains…
The magnetic field dependence of the superconductivity in nanocrystalline boron doped diamond thin films is reported. Evidence of a glass state in the phase diagram is presented, as demonstrated by electrical resistance and magnetic…
Fluctuations are important near phase transitions, where they can be difficult to describe quantitatively. Superconductivity in mesoscopic rings is particularly intriguing because the critical temperature is an oscillatory function of…
We extend previous theoretical studies of the contribution of fluctuating Cooper pairs to the persistent current in superconducting rings subjected to a magnetic field. For sufficiently small rings, in which the coherence length $\xi$…
The first-order superconducting fluctuation corrections to the thermal conductivity of a granular metal are calculated. A suppression of thermal conductivity proportional to $T_c/(T-T_c)$ is observed in a region not too close to the…
Quantum behavior of superconducting nanowires may essentially depend on the employed experimental setup. Here we investigate a setup that enables passing equilibrium supercurrent across an arbitrary segment of the wire without restricting…
We suggest to use `fluctuation spectroscopy' as a method to detect granularity in a disordered metal close to a superconducting transition. We show that with lowering temperature $T$ the resistance $R(T)$ of a system of relatively large…
A detailed analysis of magneto-conductance fluctuations of quasiballistic gold-nanowires of various lengths is presented. We find that the variance $<(\Delta G)^2> = < (G(B)-G(B+\Delta B))^2>$ when analyzed for $\Delta B$ much smaller than…
An important question in the physics of superconducting nanostructures is the role of thermal fluctuations on superconductivity in the zero-dimensional limit. Here, we probe the evolution of superconductivity as a function of temperature…
We investigate fluctuation effects of a gap parameter in color-superconductors. The fluctuation modes in the super phase are described by two scalar fields of diquarks. One of them is a Nambu-Goldstone boson and the other is a diquark boson…
Superconducting properties of metallic nano-wires may strongly depend on specific experimental conditions. Here we consider a setup where superconducting phase fluctuations are restricted at one point inside the wire and equilibrium…
We study the thermodynamics of ultrasmall metallic grains with level spacing $\delta$ comparable or smaller than the pairing correlation energy, at finite temperatures, $T \gsim \delta$. We describe a method which allows to find quantum…
We calculate fluctuation corrections to the longitudinal conductivity of disordered superconductors subject to an external magnetic field. We derive analytic expressions that are valid in the entire metallic part of the temperature-magnetic…
The smaller the system, typically - the higher is the impact of fluctuations. In narrow superconducting wires sufficiently close to the critical temperature Tc thermal fluctuations are responsible for the experimentally observable finite…
We explore the role of phase fluctuations in a 3-dimensional s-wave superconductor, NbN, as we approach the critical disorder for the destruction of the superconducting state. Scanning tunneling spectroscopy measurements reveal that in the…
We argue that quantum fluctuations of the phase of the order parameter may strongly affect the electron density of states (DOS) in ultrathin superconducting wires. We demonstrate that the effect of such fluctuations is equivalent to that of…
We report investigations of conductance fluctuations (noise) in doped silicon at low temperatures (T$<20$K) as it is tuned through the metal-insulator transition (MIT). The scaled magnitude of noise, $\gamma_H$, increases with decrease in T…
We measured the static uniform spin susceptibility of Ba(Fe$_{1-x}$Rh$_x$)$_2$As$_2$ iron-based superconductors, over a broad range of doping ($0.041\leq x\leq 0.094$) and magnetic fields. At small fields ($H \le$ 1 kOe) we observed, above…
Scanning tunneling spectroscopies are performed below 100~mK on nano-crystalline boron-doped diamond films characterized by Transmission Electron Microscopy and transport measurements. We demonstrate a strong correlation between the local…
