There has been considerable effort expended towards understanding high temperature superconductors (HTSC), and more specifically the cuprate phase diagram as a function of doping level. Yet, the only agreement seems to be that HTSC is an…
We present a percolation theory for the high-$T_c$ oxides pseudogap and $T_c$ dependence on the hole level. The doping dependent inhomogeneous charge structure is modeled by a distribution which may represent the stripe morphology and yield…
In contrast to conventional s-wave superconductivity, unconventional (e.g. p or d-wave) superconductivity is strongly suppressed even by relatively weak disorder. Upon approaching the superconductor-metal transition, the order parameter…
Understanding the roles of disorder and superconducting phase fluctuation in superconductivity has been a long-standing challenge. For example, while the phase fluctuation is expected to destroy the superconductivity of intrinsically…
We study theoretically the effect of the fermion and boson densities on the superconductivity transition critical temperature $(T_c)$ of a two dimensional electron gas (2DEG), where superconductivity is mediated by a Bose-Einstein…
The investigation of the penetration depth \lambda_{ab}(T,p) in YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-x} crystals allowed to observe the following features of the superfluid density n_s(T,p)\propto \lambda_{ab}^{-2}(T,p) as a function of temperature T<Tc/2 and…
The overall, loaded quality factor $Q_\mathrm{L}$ quantifies the loss of energy stored in a resonator. Here we discuss on general grounds how $Q_\mathrm{L}$ of a planar microwave resonator made of a conventional superconductor should depend…
We study two mechanisms for enhancing the superconducting transition temperature Tc by nonmagnetic disorder in both conventional (sign-preserving gaps) and unconventional (sign-changing gaps) superconductors (SC). In the first scenario,…
The hole-doped cuprate high temperature superconductors enter the pseudogap regime as their superconducting critical temperature, $T_c$, falls with decreasing hole density. Experiments have probed this regime for over two decades, but we…
We describe theoretically the depairing effect of a microwave field on diffusive s-wave superconductors. The ground state of the superconductor is altered qualitatively in analogy to the depairing due to a dc current. In contrast to…
The competition, coexistence and cooperation of various orders in low-dimensional materials like spin, charge, topological orders and charge-density-wave has been one of the most intriguing issues in condensed matter physics. In particular,…
A multi-timescale hybrid model is proposed to study microscopically the degraded performance of electronic devices, covering three individual stages of radiation effects studies, including ultrafast displacement cascade, intermediate defect…
The investigation of novel electronic phases in low-dimensional quantum materials demands for the concurrent development of new measurement techniques that combine surface sensitivity with high spatial resolution and high measurement…
Disordered superconductors offer new impedance regimes for quantum circuits, enable a pathway to protected qubits, and can improve superconducting detectors due to their high kinetic inductance and sheet resistance. The performance of these…
The performance of superconducting resonators underpins a wide range of modern quantum technologies, yet their quality factor often deviates at low temperatures from standard Mattis-Bardeen predictions. This discrepancy is often attributed…
Recently, the films of the Ruddlesden-Popper (RP) nickelate superconductors, in which the (La,Pr)$_3$Ni$_2$O$_7$ system exhibits a remarkable transition temperature $T_c$ exceeding 40 K, were synthesized at ambient pressure. We…
We study the thermal conductivity in disordered $s$-wave superconductors. Expanding on previous works for normal metals, we develop a formalism that tackles particle diffusion as well as the weak localization (WL) and weak anti-localization…
We develop a theory of ultrasound decay rate $\alpha$ in a model of a superconductor with a large pseudogap $\Delta_P$, and show that at low temperatures ($T \ll T_c$) the magnitude of the decay rate $\alpha$ is controlled by the ratio of…
Stabilizing superconductivity at high temperatures and elucidating its mechanism have long been major challenges of materials research in condensed matter physics. Meanwhile, recent progress in nanostructuring offers unprecedented…
Understanding the origins of power loss in superconducting interconnects is essential for the energy efficiency and scalability of superconducting digital logic. At microwave frequencies, power dissipates in both the dielectrics and…
