We describe an experiment in superconductivity suitable for an advanced undergraduate laboratory. Point-contact spectroscopy is performed by measuring the differential conductance between an electrochemically etched gold tip and a 100-nm…

The shape of experimentally observed R(T) transition of thin superconducting wires is analyzed. Broadening of the transition in quasi-1-dimensional superconducting channels is typically associated with phase slip mechanism provided by…

Critical temperature reduction $\Delta T_c$ is considered for a thin film of a layered superconductor (S) with a rough surface covered by a thick layer of a normal metal (N). The roughness of the SN interface increases the penetration of…

We show that the recent experimental claim [Pudalov {\it et al}. \prl {\bf 91}, 126403 (2003) ] of observing ``interaction effects in the conductivity of Si inversion layers at intermediate temperatures'' is incorrect and misleading. In…

The superconducting-state heat capacity of Na$_{0.3}$CoO$_{2}$$\cdot$1.3H$_{2}$O shows unusual, marked deviations from BCS theory, at all temperatures. At low temperatures the heat capacity has the $T^2$ dependence characteristic of line…

Superconducting transitions are driven by thermal fluctuations close to the transition temperature, Tc. These fluctuations are averaged out in global measurements, leaving imprints on susceptibility and resistance measurements. Here, we use…

We investigate the impact of two-level systems (TLSs) on superconductivity, treating them as soft modes localised in real space. We show that these defects can either enhance or suppress the superconducting critical temperature, depending…

By considering the Ginzburg-Landau model, compactified in one of the spatial dimensions, and using a modified Matsubara formalism, we determine the dependence of the superconducting transition temperature (T_c) of a film as a function of…

The existed theories and methods for calculating interfacial thermal conductance of solid-solid interface lead to diverse values that deviate from experimental measurements. In this letter, We propose a model to estimate the ITC at high…

We report on the temperature dependence of the quasiparticle density of states (DOS) in the simple binary compound MgB2 directly measured using scanning tunneling microscope (STM). To achieve high quality tunneling conditions, a small…

We report on the temperature-dependent optical response of thin films of YBa2Cu3O7-{\delta} (YBCO) in the visible spectral range under cryogenic conditions. Specifically, we observe an increase in transmittance near the superconducting…

Although the BCS theory of superconductivity is a well established theory, we have shown that the phenomenology predicted by this model is much richer than previously believed. By releasing the constraint that the attraction band is…

One of the keys to the high-temperature superconductivity puzzle is the identification of the energy scales associated with the emergence of a coherent condensate of superconducting electron pairs. These might provide a measure of the…

In a high mobility two-dimensional electron system in Si, near the critical density, $n_c=0.32\times10^{11}$cm$^{-2}$, of the apparent metal-to-insulator transition, the conductivity displays a linear temperature ($T$) dependence around the…

Recent experiments showed that thinning gallium, iron selenide and 2H tantalum disulfide to single/several monoatomic layer(s) enhances their superconducting critical temperatures. Here, we characterize these superconductors by extracting…

We report a super-insulating behavior, in a device having granular Pb film on back-gated few-layer $\mathrm{MoS_2}$, below an onset temperature same as the critical temperature $T_{\rm C}\approx7$ K of bulk Pb. Below $T_{\rm C}$, the…

We study the nonlinear transport properties of NS (normal-superconductor) and NSN structures by means of a self-consistent microscopic description. A nonzero superfluid velocity causes the various quasiparticle channels within S to open at…

Superconducting nanofilms are tunable systems that can host a 3D-2D dimensional crossover, leading to the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) superconducting transition approaching the 2D regime. Reducing further the dimensionality, from…

The pressure effect on the superconducting transition temperature of MgB2 has been determined using gas pressure up to 1 GPa. The transition temperature Tc was found to decrease linearly at a constant rate over the whole pressure range. The…

A review is given for the theoretical framework to give a reliable prediction of the superconducting transition temperature Tc from first principles, together with a practical strategy for its application to actual materials with…
