We study the superconducting proximity effect induced in the surface states of the 3-d topological insulator Bi$_2$Se$_3$ by a singlet, s-wave superconductor deposited on its surface. To this effect, the…
Studying wave propagation in nonlinear discrete systems is essential for understanding energy transfer in lattices. While linear systems prohibit wave propagation within the natural band gap, nonlinear systems exhibit {supratransmission},…
We measure the excitation spectrum of a superconducting atomic contact. In addition to the usual continuum above the superconducting gap, the single particle excitation spectrum contains discrete, spin-degenerate Andreev levels inside the…
One scenario for the non-classical moment of inertia of solid He-4 discovered by Kim and Chan [Nature 427, 225 (2004)] is the superfluidity of micro-crystallite interfaces. On the basis of the most simple model of a quantum crystal--the…
We report the study of ballistic transport in normal metal/graphene/superconductor junctions in edge-contact geometry. While in the normal state, we have observed Fabry-P\'{e}rot resonances suggesting that charge carriers travel…
Engineered lattices in condensed matter physics, such as cold atom optical lattices or photonic crystals, can have fundamentally different properties from naturally-occurring electronic crystals. Here, we report a novel type of artificial…
Three band crossings can arise in three dimensional quantum materials with certain space group symmetries. The low energy Hamiltonian supports spin $\textit{one}$ fermions and a flat band. We study the pairing problem in this setting. We…
We analyze the properties of flat-band superconductor junctions that behave differently from ordinary junctions containing only metals with Fermi surfaces. In particular, we show how in the tunneling limit the critical Josephson current…
We study the interplay of superconductivity and disorder by solving numerically the Bogoliubov-de-Gennes equations in a two dimensional lattice of size $80\times80$ which makes possible to investigate the weak-coupling limit. In contrast…
Weak impurity scattering produces a narrow band with a finite density of states near the phase difference $\phi =\pi$ in the mid-gap energy spectrum of a macroscopic superconducting weak link. The equivalent distribution of transmission…
Recent progress in two-dimensional superconductors with atomic-scale thicknesses is reviewed mainly from the experimental point of view. The superconducting systems treated here involve a variety of materials and forms: elemental-metal…
In search of materials with three-dimensional flat band dispersions, using {\em ab-initio} computations, we investigate how topological phases evolve as a function of hydrostatic pressure and uniaxial strain in two types of superlattices:…
Unconventional flat band (FB) superconductivity, as observed in van der Waals heterostructures, could open promising avenues towards high-T$_c$ materials. In FBs, pairings and superfluid weight scale linearly with the interaction parameter,…
Quasiparticle interference has been used frequently for the purpose of unraveling the electronic states in the vicinity of the Fermi level as well as the nature of superconducting gap in the unconventional superconductors. Using the…
We study the effects of a superconducting condensate on holographic Fermi surfaces. With a suitable coupling between the fermion and the condensate, there are stable quasiparticles with a gap. We find some similarities with the…
Combining superconducting and magnetic materials is a promising path to generate exotic interface subgap states. In this regard, altermagnetism is particularly interesting because it lifts spin degeneracy while providing tailored anisotropy…
The symmetry of the superconducting order parameter, or simply the ``gap'', provides certain constraints on the actual mechanism that gives rise to pairing and ultimately to superconductivity. In this work we show how superconducting phases…
We investigate strong-coupling properties of a trapped two-dimensional normal Fermi gas. Within the framework of a combined $T$-matrix theory with the local density approximation, we calculate the local density of states, as well as the…
We present a numerical study of conductance oscillations of transition metal multilayers as a function of layer thickness. Using a material-specific tight-binding model, we show that for disorder-free layers with random thicknesses but…
We consider atomic Fermi gases where Feshbach resonances can be used to continuously tune the system from weak to strong interaction regime, allowing to scan the whole BCS-BEC crossover. We show how a probing field transferring atoms out of…
