Dirty superconducting films with magnetic impurities can exhibit nontrivial behavior in a magnetic field that polarizes the impurity spins. As predicted by Kharitonov and Feigelman (KF) [JETP Lett. 82, 421 (2005)], this polarization reduces…
We show that the superconducting transition temperature T_c(H) of a very thin highly disordered film with strong spin-orbital scattering can be increased by parallel magnetic field H. This effect is due to polarization of magnetic impurity…
In the theory of dilute magnetic impurities in superconductors, the effect of all impurity spin-components is expressed via a single magnetic scattering rate $\Gamma_\mathrm{m}$. In a more realistic setting, magnetic impurities are…
Phonon-driven $s$-wave superconductivity is fundamentally antagonistic to uniform magnetism, and field-induced suppression of the critical temperature is one of its canonical signatures. Examples of the opposite are unique and require…
It is well known that external magnetic fields and magnetic moments of impurities both suppress superconductivity. Here, we demonstrate that their combined effect enhances the superconductivity of a few atomic layer thick Pb films grown on…
By evaluating the upper and thermodynamic critical fields, $H_{c2}$ and $H_c$, and their ratio $H_{c2}/H_c $ at arbitrary temperatures, we argue that situations are possible when a type-II material is transformed to type-I by adding…
We revisit certain aspects of a problem concerning the influence of carrier scattering induced by magnetic impurities in metals on their superconducting properties. Superconductivity is assumed to be driven by strong electron-phonon…
We consider the effect of nonmagnetic and magnetic impurities on the superheating field $H_s$ in a type-II superconductor. We solved the Eilenberger equations, which take into account the nonlinear pairbreaking of Meissner screening…
The perpendicular critical fields of a superconducting film have been strongly enhanced by using a nanoengineered lattice of magnetic dots (dipoles) on top of the film. Magnetic-field-induced superconductivity is observed in these hybrid…
We calculate the effect of impurities on the superconducting phase diagram of transition metal dichalcogenide monolayers in the presence of an in-plane magnetic field. Due to strong intrinsic spin-orbit coupling, the upper critical field…
I calculated the effect of magnetic impurities on the normal and superconductive properties of a multiband s-wave superconductor by direct solution of the two-band Eliashberg equations. In this way I determined the critical temperature, the…
The effect of a homogeneous magnetic field and nonmagnetic impurities on the critical temperature of an anisotropic superconductor has been investigated. The role of these pair-breakers in relation to the anisotropy of the order parameter…
It is commonly believed that time reversal symmetry breaking perturbations such as magnetic field or scattering on magnetic impurities destruct superconductivity and suppress the critical temperature of the superconducting phase transition.…
Effects of disorder on superconducting properties of noncentrosymmetric compounds are discussed. Elastic impurity scattering, even for scalar impurities, leads to a strongly anisotropic mixing of the electron states in the bands split by…
The upper critical field $H_{c2} $, the field $H_{c3}$ for nucleation of the surface superconductivity, and the thermodynamic $H_c $ are evaluated within the weak-coupling theory for the isotropic s-wave case and arbitrary transport and…
We study the entanglement of magnetic impurities in an environment of electrons through successive scattering while an external magnetic field is applied. We show that the dynamics of the problem can be approximately described by a reduced…
We investigate the combined effects of magnetic impurities and applied magnetic field on the interference contribution to the conductance of disordered metals. We show that in a metal with weak spin-orbit interaction, the polarization of…
It has been observed that the effect of magnetic impurities in a superconductor is drastically different depending on whether the host superconductor is in a crystalline or an amorphous state. Based on the recent theory of Kim and…
Through a comprehensive free energy analysis, we demonstrate that finite temperature can simultaneously weaken superconductivity and mitigate spin polarization induced depairing, leading to potential non-monotonic temperature-dependent…
We study the effect of an applied magnetic field on sub-10nm wide MoGe and Nb superconducting wires. We find that magnetic fields can enhance the critical supercurrent at low temperatures, and does so more strongly for narrower wires. We…
