Interfacial spin-orbit coupling in Josephson junctions offers an intriguing way to combine anomalous Hall and Josephson physics in a single device. We study theoretically how the superposition of both effects impacts…
We present an analysis of the symmetries of the interference pattern of critical currents through a two-dimensional superconductor-semiconductor-superconductor junction, taking into account Rashba and Dresselhaus spin-orbit interaction, an…
We show that at the level of BCS mean-field theory, the superconducting $T_c$ is always increased in the presence of disorder, regardless of order parameter symmetry, disorder strength, and spatial dimension. This result reflects the…
We present a novel route for attaining unconventional superconductivity (SC) in a strongly correlated system without doping. In a simple model of a correlated band insulator (BI) at half-filling we demonstrate, based on a generalization of…
We have developed a method for the reproducible fabrication of superconducting scanning tunneling microscope (STM) tips. We use these tips to form superconductor/insulator/superconductor tunnel junctions with the STM tip as one of the…
We show that an array of Josephson coupled Cooper paired planes can never have long range phase coherence at any finite temperature due to an infrared divergence of phase fluctuations. The phase correlations decay in a slow enough manner…
Unconventional superconductivity remains one of the central unsolved problems in quantum materials, and revealing its connection to the normal state is widely believed to be key to uncovering the pairing mechanism. Previous efforts have…
We report a new class of $c$-axis Josephson tunneling experiments in which a conventional superconductor (Pb) is deposited across a single twin boundary of a YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-\delta} crystal. We measure the critical current as a function of…
Dramatic evolution of properties with minute change in the doping level is a hallmark of the complex chemistry which governs cuprate superconductivity as manifested in the celebrated superconducting domes as well as quantum criticality…
Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) has made tremendous progress in the study and understanding of both classical and unconventional superconductors. This has motivated a rapidly growing effort to apply the same techniques to the iron-based…
Motivated by the recent experiments indicating superconductivity in metal-decorated graphene sheets, we investigate their quasi-particle structure within the framework of an effective tight-binding Hamiltonian augmented by appropriate…
A singularity at the Josephson frequency in the noise spectral density of a disordered normal metal -- superconductor junction is predicted for bias voltages below the superconducting gap. The non-stationary Aharonov-Bohm effect, recently…
Superconductivity is a remarkably widespread phenomenon observed in most metals cooled down to very low temperatures. The ubiquity of such conventional superconductors, and the wide range of associated critical temperatures, is readily…
We study the Andreev levels, supercurrent and tunnelling conductance in a clean Ising superconductor (ISC)/half metal (HM)/Ising superconductor (ISC) Josephson junction with spin-active interfaces using Bogoliubov-de Gennes equations. We…
In the present work we calculate the theoretical tunneling conductance curves of SIN junctions involving high-Tc superconductors, for different possible symmetries of the order parameter (s, d, s+id, s+d, anisotropic s and extended s). To…
Superconducting fluctuations have proved to be an irreplaceable source of information about microscopic and macroscopic material parameters that could be inferred from the experiment. According to common wisdom, the effect of thermodynamic…
In a recent letter, Chatterjee et al. (Nature Phys. 4, 108 (2008)) reported tunnelling data obtained below and above the critical temperature (Tc = 15 K) by STM in overdoped Bi2-yPbySr2CuO6+x (Bi2201) and some interpretations of the data1.…
We report a theoretical study of multiterminal Josephson junctions under the influence of a magnetic field $B$. We consider a ballistic rectangular two-dimensional metal $N_0$ connected by the edges to the left, right, top and bottom…
A combination of strong Cooper pairing and weak superconducting fluctuations is crucial to achieve and stabilize high-Tc superconductivity. We demonstrate that a coexistence of a shallow carrier band with strong pairing and a deep band with…
Motivated by recent studies on superconducting (SC) diode nonreciprocity, we uncover a generic smooth SC-phase decoherence mechanism in low-dimensional Josephson structures. Contrary to the conventional single-energy-scale paradigm where…
