We study the effect of nonmagnetic impurities on the local density of states (LDOS) in s-wave superconductors. The quasiclassical equations of superconductivity are solved selfconsistently to show how LDOS evolves with impurity…
Motivated by the recent scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) experiment [J. E. Hoffman, {\it et al.}, Science {\bf 297}, 1148 (2002)], we investigate the energy-dependent modulation induced by a weak and extended defect in a d-wave…
In this paper, we investigate a local density of state (LDOS) in two-dimensional nano-structured superconductors. We solve the Bogoliubov-de Gennes equations self-consistently with the two-dimensional finite element method. In…
In the present work, we generalize earlier considerations for intrinsic localized modes consisting of a few excited sites, as developed in the one-component discrete nonlinear Schrodinger equation model, to the case of two-component…
We consider a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) loaded into a one-dimensional optical cavity under the combined action of an external potential and atom-cavity coupling with mutually incommensurate periods. Such configuration enables the…
We discuss the possibility of exponential quantum localization in systems of ultracold bosonic atoms with repulsive interactions in open optical lattices without disorder. We show that exponential localization occurs in the maximally…
Electron and phonon states in two different models of intentionally disordered superlattices are studied analytically as well as numerically. The localization length is calculated exactly and we found that it diverges for particular…
We review recent developments in our understanding of how impurities influence the electronic states in the bulk of superconductors. Our focus is on the quasi-localized states in the vicinity of impurity sites in conventional and…
We consider flux lines in presence of a dense square array of columnar defects, with insulating core and radius of the order of the coherence length. The properties of the phase transition from the flux line regime to the localized…
The electronic states near a surface or a domain wall in the p-wave superconductor are studied for the order parameter of the form p_x\pm i p_y-wave, which is a unitary odd-parity state with broken time-reversal symmetry. This state has…
Topological photonics sheds light on some of the surprising phenomena seen in condensed matter physics that arise with the appearance of topological invariants. Optical waveguides provide a well-controlled platform to investigate effects…
We study how a randomness of either boson or fermion site energies affects the superconducting phase of the boson fermion model. We find that, contrary to what is expected for s-wave superconductors, the non-magnetic disorder is detrimental…
Motivated by recent experiments, we investigate Josephson scanning tunneling spectroscopy in an s-wave superconductor. We demonstrate that the spatial oscillations in the superconducting order parameter induced by defects can be spatially…
The report reviews the problem of topological coherent modes, which are nonlinear collective states of Bose-condensed atoms. Such modes can be generated by means of alternating external fields, whose frequencies are in resonance with the…
We show that an induced $s$-wave harmonic in the superconducting gap of an orthorhombic $d_{x^2-y^2}$ superconductor strongly affects the excitation spectrum near a twinning plane. In particular, it yields bound states of zero energy with…
Through the integration of the power spectral density, we obtain temperature profiles of both multi-segment harmonic and anharmonic systems, showing the presence of an anomalous negative temperature gradient inside the interfacial segment.…
Dark solitons and localized defect modes against periodic backgrounds are considered in arrays of waveguides with defocusing Kerr nonlinearity constituting a nonlinear lattice. Bright defect modes are supported by local increase of the…
Phonon scattering at grain boundaries (GBs) is significant in controlling nanoscale device thermal conductivity. However, GBs could also act as waveguides for selected modes. To measure localized GB phonon modes, meV energy resolution is…
The boson peak (BP), a low-energy excess in the vibrational density of states over the phonon Debye contribution, is usually identified as one of the distinguishing features between ordered crystals and amorphous solid materials. Despite…
We study the electronic structure near impurities in the d-density-wave (DDW) state, a possible candidate phase for the pseudo-gap region of the high-temperature superconductors. We show that the local DOS near a non-magnetic impurity in…
