Studies of the effects of the weak interaction in atomic systems provide tests of the Standard Model of particle physics, and explore physics scenarios beyond the Standard Model. In addition, these studies can offer valuable insights into…

In this paper we study the effects of the Generalized Uncertainty Principle (GUP) on the spectrum of a particle that is bouncing vertically and elastically on a smooth reflecting floor in the Earth's gravitational field (a quantum bouncer).…

We show that in ultra-small superconducting grains any concentration of magnetic impurities or infinitely small orbital effect of magnetic field leads to destruction of the hard gap in the tunneling density of states. Instead, though…

The influence of the atomic-scale inhomogeneities of the pairing interaction strength on the superconducting order parameter and the conductance spectra measurable by STM is studied in the framework of weak-coupling BCS-like theory for…

Some new physics beyond the Standard Model of particle physics, like Supersymmetry, Extra-dimensions etc., and their effect on the nature of different standard model phenomena are explored in this thesis. We discuss the power law scaling of…

We calculate the parity-dependent level density ratios for $^{240,242}$Pu across a broad range of quadrupole deformations, from the spherical configuration up to the superdeformed region, explicitly including both the ground-state minimum…

We present a self-consistent approach to deal with the pairing-fluctuation effects in quasi-two-dimensional superconducting systems. Besides the Cooper pairs in the Bose-Einstein condensate, there are pairs occupying the excited states,…

We analyze conditions of applicability of grand-canonical mean-field Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer theory to the evaluation of an interaction energy in the ground state of small-sized superconductors. We argue that this theory fails to describe…

A novel method is proposed to measure the Purcell effect by observing the current through a semiconductor quantum dot embedded inside a microcavity. The stationary current is shown to be altered if one varies the cavity length. For the…

The equation for the gap parameter represents the main equation of the pairing theory of superconductivity. Although it is formally defined through a single-particle property, physically it reflects the pairing correlations between…

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…

Effects of medium polarization are studied for $^1S_0$ pairing in neutron and nuclear matter. The screening potential is calculated in the RPA limit, suitably renormalized to cure the low density mechanical instability of nuclear matter.…

We study a short superconducting junction subject to a dc and ac phase bias. The ac modulation changes the occupation of the Andreev bound states formed at the constriction by transitions between bound states and the continuum. In a short…

A method is derived for calculating the pairing kernel in exchange mediated superconductors including matrix element effects. Various models for the interaction vertex are considered, including spin exchange, orbital exchange, and…

We study how an inversion-breaking quantum critical point affects the ground state of a one-dimensional electronic liquid with repulsive interaction and spin-orbit coupling. We find that regardless of the interaction strength, the critical…

I begin by briefly reviewing various experimental results on the pseudogap phenomena in underdoped cuprates. I argue that, taken together, all of these lead to a picture of singlet pairing above $T_c$. I then explore the idea that the…

We present a combined experimental and theoretical study of the proximity effect in an atomic-scale controlled junction between two different superconductors. Elaborated on a Si(111) surface, the junction comprises a Pb nanocrystal with an…

An inhomogeneous superconducting ring placed in a magnetic field is considered. It is shown that the superconducting transition of the section with lowest critical temperature may be a first order phase transition if the magnetic flux…

We study theoretically proximity-induced superconductivity and its inverse effect in dice lattice flat band model by considering Josephson junction with an s-wave pairing in the superconducting leads. Using self-consistent tight-binding…

The energetics of the interplay between superconductivity and the pseudogap in high temperature superconductivity is examined using the eight-site dynamical cluster approximation to the two dimensional Hubbard model. Two regimes of…
