In d$_{x^2-y^2}$-wave superconductors, the effect of s-wave point disorder has been extensively studied in the literature. In this work, we study the anisotropic disorder with a the form of $V_{kk'}^{\rm imp}=V_if_kf_{k'}$ with…
We show that there is a new mechanism for nonmonotonous behavior of magnetic field dependence of the electronic thermal conductivity of clean superconductors with nodes of the order parameter on the Fermi surface. In particular, for unitary…
We report a bulk magnetisation study of the low temperature magnetic phases in the Mn site substituted half doped manganite series Pr_(0.5)Ca_(0.5)Mn_(1-x)Al_(x)O_(3). Our results indicate the formation of self organised structures in this…
Magnetic properties of dirty multiband superconductors near the upper critical field are studied. The parameter $\kappa_2$ characterizing magnetization slope is shown to have a significant temperature variation which is quite sensitive to…
The hot-electron vortex flow instability in superconducting films in magnetic field $B$ at substrate temperature $T_0 \ll T_c$ is theoretically considered in the presence of pinning. The magnetic field dependence of the instability critical…
I formulate a theory of the inverse Faraday effect in impure two-dimensional metallic system with lifted spin degeneracy induced by Rashba spin-orbit coupling. Using the formalism of non-equilibrium quantum field theory, the static…
Understanding depairing effects in a hybrid-superconducting interface utilizing high spin-orbit materials such as topological insulators or 1D semiconducting nanowires is becoming an important research topic in the study of…
The quasiparticle density of states in a two-dimensional d-wave superconductor depends on the orientation of the in-plane external magnetic field H. This is because. in the region of the gap nodes, the Doppler shift due to the circulating…
We investigate the applicability of spin polarization measurements using Andreev reflection in a point contact geometry in heavily doped dilute magnetic semiconductors, such as (Ga,Mn)As. While we observe conventional Andreev reflection in…
The frequency structure of the superconducting correlations in cuprates gives insights on the pairing mechanism. Here we present an exhaustive study of this problem in the two-dimensional Hubbard model with cellular dynamical mean-field…
We report on a resistance anomaly in disordered superconducting films containing arrays of irregularly distributed nanoscale holes. At high driving currents, peaks appear in the resistance as a function of temperature, with peak values up…
We reconsider the effect of disorder on the properties of a superconductor characterized by a sign-changing order parameter appropriate for Fe-based materials. Within a simple two band model, we calculate simultaneously $T_c$, the change in…
We microscopically derive the Ginzburg-Landau free energy functional for a noncentrosymmetric superconductor with a large spin-orbit splitting of the electron bands, in the presence of nonmagnetic impurities. The critical temperature is…
The presence of nonmagnetic impurities in a 2D ``bad metal'' depresses the superconducting Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless transition temperature, while leaving the pairing energy scale unchanged. Thus the region of the pseudogap…
In this thesis, we theoretically examine the pairing mechanisms and the identification of the pairing symmetry of unconventional superconductors whose normal states are correlated, multiband, or topological. In the first part, we…
The two-gap model for superconductivity in MgB2 predicts that interband impurity scattering should be pair breaking, reducing the critical temperature. This is perhaps the only prediction of the model that has not been confirmed…
It has long been known that two-dimensional metals with antiferromagnetic exchange interactions have a weak-coupling instability to the superconductivity of spin-singlet, d-wave electron pairs. We examine additional possible instabilities…
The temperature dependence of the static magnetic susceptibility of exchange-disordered antiferromagnetic Heisenberg spin-1/2 finite chains with an odd number of spins is investigated as a function of size and type of disorder in the…
A theory of phonon-mediated superconductivity in strong-coupling amorphous materials is developed based on an effective description of structural disorder and its effect on the vibrational spectrum. The theory accounts for the…
We study the effects of a magnetic impurity on the behavior of a $S=1/2$ spin chain. At T=0, both with and without an applied uniform magnetic field, an oscillating magnetization appears, whose decay with the distance from the impurity is…
