Tailoring of interference-induced surface superconductivity by an applied electric field
Physical Review B: Condensed Matter and Materials Physics. 2023. Vol. 108. No. 13. Article 134506.
Nucleation of the pair condensate near surfaces above the upper critical magnetic field and the pair-condensate
enhancement/suppression induced by changes in the electron-phonon interaction at interfaces are the most
known examples of the surface superconductivity. Recently, another example has been reported when the surface
enhancement of the critical superconducting temperature occurs due to quantum interference. In this case the
pair states spread over the entire volume of the system while exhibiting the constructive interference near
the surface. In the present work we investigate how an applied electric field impacts the interference-induced
surface superconductivity. The study is based on a numerical solution of the self-consistent Bogoliubov-de
Gennes equations for a one-dimensional attractive Hubbard model. Our results demonstrate that the surface
superconducting characteristics, especially the surface critical temperature, are sensitive to the applied electric
field and can be tailored by changing its magnitude.

The influence of asymmetry of plasma sources on the structure and spatial localization of a superthin
current sheet (STCS) supported by demagnetized electrons is studied using a self-consistent model. The
simulation takes into account the presence of a single plasma source in the northern hemisphere, which
makes the plasma flow asymmetric. It is demonstrated that the asymmetry of ...

Plasmonic nanostructures typically exhibit shifts in their resonant wavelength in response to changes in the refractive index of the surrounding medium. This limits their applications in scenarios requiring stable optical resonances. Here we present a metallic-dielectric hybrid metasurface that exhibits stable multi-wavelength resonance even if the refractive index of its surrounding varies. To quantitatively evaluate the stability of ...

We present a simple model that simulates the possible influence of one society on another. Specifically, two societies evolve deterministically according to the well-known Nowak-May spatial game with the addition of mutual influence through connections that reflect the current states of the societies. This may be related to the influence of a global information resource ...

We perform a Monte Carlo analysis of the Ising model on many three-dimensional lattices. By means of finite-size scaling we obtain the critical points and determine the scaling dimensions. As expected, the critical exponents agree with the three-dimensional Ising universality class for all models. The irrelevant field, as revealed by the correction-to-scaling amplitudes, appears to ...

This study presents a mean-field theory for zwitterionic polymer solutions confined within attractive slit-like nanopores. Building upon our prior model for self-coacervation [Budkov et al., Soft Matter 19, 3281–3289 (2023)], we demonstrate that strong electrostatic dipole–dipole correlations between monomeric units, coupled with attraction to pore walls, can induce capillary-driven liquid–liquid phase separation inside the pore—a ...

Interference-induced surface superconductivity (SC), in which the surface critical temperature $T_{cs}$ is enhanced relative to the bulk critical temperature $T_{cb}$, has been predicted recently, sparking intensive studies of its properties within an attractive Hubbard model with $s$-wave pairing. However, a complete understanding of how the relative enhancement $\tau = (T_{cs} - T_{cb})/T_{cb}$ depends on microscopic ...

It is well known that the electric field can induce phase transitions between superconducting, metallic and
insulating states in thin-film materials due to its control of the charge carrier density. Since a similar effect on the
charge carriers can also be expected for surfaces of bulk samples, here, we investigate the transformation of the
surface states in a ...

In the usual perception, surface superconductivity is associated with the surface nucleation of a superconducting condensate above the upper critical field in type-II superconductors or with a rearrangement of phonon properties and the electron-phonon coupling near surfaces/interfaces. Recently, it has been found that there is another example when the surface superconducting temperature is increased up ...

We experimentally investigate charge transport through a single planar junction between a Cd3As2 Dirac semimetal and a normal Au lead. For nonsuperconducting bulk Cd3As2 samples we observe non-Ohmic dV/dI(V ) curves, which strongly resemble standard Andreev reflection with a well-defined superconducting gap. Andreev-like behavior is demonstrated for Cd3As2 samples with different surface and contact preparation ...
