LK-99, with chemical formula Pb$_{10-x}$Cu$_x$(PO4)$_6$O, was recently reported to be a room-temperature superconductor. While this claim has met with little support in a flurry of ensuing work, a variety of calculations (mostly based on…
We present the crystal structure and low temperature electronic transport properties of the intermetallic commonly known as BeB_2. In contrast to the much simpler AlB_2-type structure of the 39K superconductor MgB_2, BeB_2 forms a complex…
After theoretical determination of the internal structural coordinates in Li$_2$Pd$_3$B, we calculate and analyze its electronic structure and obtain the frequencies of the two $A_g$ phonons (40.6 meV for nearly pure Li mode, 13.0 meV for…
High temperature superconductivity in cuprates is realized by doping the Mott insulator with charge carriers. A central issue is how such an insulating state can evolve into a conducting or superconducting state when charge carriers are…
LaCo2B2 with a ThCr2Si2-type structure composed of alternately stacked La and CoB layers exhibits metallic electrical conductivity and Pauli paramagnetic behavior down to 2K. Bulk superconductivity with a Tc of ~4K emerges upon substitution…
Topological superconductors, characterized by topologically nontrivial states residing in a superconducting gap, are a recently discovered class of materials having Majorana Fermions. The interplay of superconductivity and topological…
In this work, we establish the bulk superconductivity of a high quality sample of monoclinic BiPd ($\alpha$-BiPd, space group P2$_1$) below 3.87 K by studying its electrical resistivity, magnetic susceptibility and heat capacity. We show…
In the hole-doped cuprate superconductors, the superconducting transition temperature $T_c$ exhibits a dome-like feature against the doping rate. By contrast, recent experiments reveal that $T_c$ in the electron-doped systems monotonically…
In this review, we present a comprehensive overview of superconductivity in electron-doped metal nitride halides $M$N$X$ ($M$ = Ti, Zr, Hf; $X$ = Cl, Br, I) with layered crystal structure and two-dimensional electronic states. The parent…
The (mostly) insulating behaviour of PrBa2Cu3O7-d is still unexplained and even more interesting since the occasional appearance of superconductivity in this material. Since YBa2Cu3O7-d is nominally iso-structural and always…
Transition metal oxides display a great variety of quantum electronic behaviours where correlations often play an important role. The achievement of high quality epitaxial interfaces involving such materials gives a unique opportunity to…
We report on magnetization data obtained as a function of temperature and magnetic field in Li2 (Pd0.8Pt0.2)3B and Li2Pd3B non-centro-symmetric superconductors. Reversible magnetization curves were plotted as M1/2 vs. T. This allows study…
Chemical bonding and electronic structure of MgB2, a boron-based newly discovered superconductor, is studied using self-consistent band structure techniques. Analysis of the transformation of the band structure for the hypothetical series…
The possibility of superconductivity in doped and undoped triangular antiferromagnets is discussed. Using the Bethe-Salpeter (B-S) equation, it is shown that the exchange of RPA paramagnons on a triangular lattice Hubbard model leads to…
The recently discovered cuprate superconductor Ba$_2$CuO$_{3+\delta}$ exhibits a high $T_c\simeq73$K at $\delta\simeq0.2$. The polycrystal grown under high pressure has a structure similar to La$_2$CuO$_4$, but with dramatically different…
Two-dimensional (2D) superconductivity in artificial interfaces and atomic-thin layers has gained attention for its exotic quantum phenomena and practical applications. Although bulk van der Waals layered materials have been explored for 2D…
We propose a new family of two-dimensional (2D) metal-borocarbide clathrane superconductors, derived from three-dimensional (3D) MM$^\prime$B$_6$C$_6$ clathrates. First-principles calculations reveal that hydrogen passivation and surface…
We study a two-dimensional heterostructure comprised of a monolayer of the magnetic insulator chromium triiodide (CrI$_3$) on a superconducting lead (Pb) substrate. Through first-principles computation and a tight-binding model, we…
Polar metals and noncentrosymmetric superconductors are exceptionally rare, yet their broken inversion symmetry can give rise to emergent electronic phenomena including mixed singlet-triplet superconducting pairing. As only a few such…
We report a ^{11}B NMR measurement on the recently discovered superconductor Li_2Pd_3B. The nuclear spin lattice relaxation rate 1/T_1 shows a well-defined coherence peak just below T_c (H=1.46 T)=5.7 K, and the spin susceptibility measured…
