We review some recent results on the phenomenon of surface superconductivity in the framework of Ginzburg-Landau theory for extreme type-II materials. In particular, we focus on the response of the superconductor to a strong longitudinal…
At high magnetic field, the semiclassical approximation which underlies the Ginzburg-Landau theory of the mixed state of type II superconductors breaks down. In a quasi-1D superconductor with an {\it open Fermi surface}, a high magnetic…
At high magnetic fields and low temperatures, numerous extreme type-II superconductors exhibit Landau quantization of electronic motion. We present an analytic construction of the quasiparticle spectrum in this regime, based on the…
The correlated density appears in many physical systems ranging from dense interacting gases up to Fermi liquids which develop a coherent state at low temperatures, the superconductivity. One consequence of the correlated density is the…
A theory is developed of the intricately fingered patterns of flux domains observed in the intermediate state of thin type-I superconductors. The patterns are shown to arise from the competition between the long-range Biot-Savart…
We use Time-Dependent Ginzburg-Landau theory to study the nucleation of vortices in type II superconductors in the presence of both geometric and material inhomogeneities. The superconducting Meissner state is meta-stable up to a critical…
I argue that the conventional BCS-London theory of superconductivity does not explain the most fundamental property of superconductors, the Meissner effect: how is the Meissner current generated, and how is it able to defy Faraday's law?…
The thermopower of mesoscopic normal metal/superconductor structures has been measured at low temperatures. Effect of supercurrent present in normal part of the structure was studied in two cases: when it was created by applied external…
We develop an alternative method to solve the Eilenberger equations numerically for the vortex-lattice states of type-II superconductors. Using it, we clarify the magnetic-field and impurity-concentration dependences of the magnetization,…
The conditions for the entry of vortices into type-II superconductors being in the Meissner and/or mixed state, are studied by both numerical and analytical solution of the Ginzburg-Landau equations. A modulation instability of the…
The electromagnetic properties of superconductors near a ferromagnetic instability are investigated by means of a generalized Ginzburg-Landau theory. It is found that the magnetic flux expulsion capability of the superconductor gets…
We consider an extreme type-II superconducting wire with non-smooth cross section, i.e., with one or more corners at the boundary, in the framework of the Ginzburg-Landau theory. We prove the existence of an interval of values of the…
A general approach is formulated to describe spontaneous surface current distribution in a chiral p-wave superconductor. We use the quasiclassical Eilenberger formalism in the Ricatti parametrization to describe various types of the…
We discuss an effect of the electrostatic field on superconductivity near the surface. First, we use the microscopic theory of de Gennes to show that the electric field changes the boundary condition for the Ginzburg-Landau function.…
We analyze the response of a type II superconducting wire to an external magnetic field parallel to it in the framework of Ginzburg-Landau theory. We focus on the surface superconductivity regime of applied field between the second and…
Single crystals of NbGe$_{2}$ which crystallize in a noncentrosymmetric hexagonal structure with chirality are synthesized and their superconductivity is investigated. Type-I superconductivity is confirmed by dc magnetization, field-induced…
We consider a superconducting material that exists in the liquid state, more precisely, in which the Meissner-Ochsenfeld effect persists in the liquid state. First, we investigate how the shape of such a hypothetical Meissner liquid will…
This paper concerns mathematical theory of Meissner states of a bulk superconductor of type $I\!I$, which occupies a bounded domain $\Omega$ in $\Bbb R^3$ and is subjected to an applied magnetic field below the critical field $H_{S}$. A…
Superconductivity occurs in systems that have a lot of negative charge: the highly negatively charged $(CuO2)^{--}$ planes in the cuprates, negatively charged $(FeAs)^-$ planes in the iron arsenides, and negatively charged $B^-$ planes in…
In a one dimensional superconductor where current driven phase transitions occur between superconducting and normal phases, both the phases coexist in a metastable regime over a wide range of current near the critical current $j_c$. A lot…
