Особенности термодинамики сверхпроводящего состояния в режиме перехода между первым и вторым родами сверхпроводимости
С. 159–162.
The paper investigates the thermodynamic characteristics of a superconducting condensate (vortex matter) typical of single-band superconductors in the regime of transition from the first to the second kind. Based on the analysis of changes in the dependence of the Gibbs free energy of the vortex system on the external magnetic field, conclusions are drawn about the characteristic types of F(B) dependence for such a transition. The results demonstrate that for single-band superconductors in the inter-type superconductivity regime, a smooth transition is observed between qualitatively different types of F(B) dependence, without sharp qualitative jumps. The paper provides a physical description of the phenomena under investigation, the algorithms used in the numerical calculations of vortex energy, and demonstrates the simulation results.

In this manuscript we consider a superconducting film in the vicinity of the critical temperature and presence of the proximity effect. We analytically solve the corresponding linearized Usadel equation and the self-consistency equation, defining the critical temperature. This is a system of coupled differential and integral equations for the anomalous Green's function and the order parameter of ...

We develop a full microscopic theory for the optical conductivity 𝜎(𝜔) of a dirty current-carrying superconductor. Within the Keldysh sigma model formalism, we obtain the general analytical expression for 𝜎(𝜔), applicable for arbitrary frequency 𝜔, temperature 𝑇, and dc supercurrent 𝐼. In addition to altering the usual Mattis-Bardeen conductivity 𝜎1(𝜔), a finite supercurrent introduces two new contributions: 𝜎qp2(𝜔) from quasiparticle redistribution and 𝜎SH2(𝜔) from the amplitude ...

A dissipationless supercurrent state in superconductors can be destroyed by thermal fluctuations. Thermally activated phase slips provide a finite resistance of the sample and are responsible for dark counts in superconducting single-photon detectors. The activation barrier for a phase slip is determined by a space-dependent saddle-point (instanton) configuration of the order parameter. In the one-dimensional ...

In this study we revealed the effect of scandium doping on the electronic and superconducting properties of the MgB2 compound. Calculations demonstrate that Sc substitutes for Mg atoms, acting as an electron donor. Mg substitution diminishes the density of states in the σ-band and attenuates the electron–phonon coupling, thereby elucidating the reduction in critical temperature. Simultaneously, ...

In present work we report the first observations of two-dimensional plasma resonance with linear dispersion in superconducting NbN films fabricated by atomic layer deposition on sapphire and high-resistive (HR) silicon substrates. We have detected several consecutive resonance dips in THz transmission of the sample processed into the disc geometry. Increasing temperature results both in the ...

The magnetoresistance of superconductor–topological insulator–superconductor structures, with indium as the superconductor and TaSe3 as the topological insulator, shows steplike features on the resistance under magnetic fields. These resistance steps result from the suppression of superconductivity, induced by the superconducting proximity effect in both the bulk and surface states of the topological insulator. The position and ...

Majorana zero modes (MZMs) localized in vortex cores of topological superconductors are widely regarded promising building blocks for fault-tolerant quantum computation. However, their unambiguous detection is hindered by the extremely small energy spacing separating them from conventional Caroli-de Gennes-Matricon states. Using a microscopic Bogoliubov-de Gennes approach, we demonstrate that nonmagnetic impurities, rather than suppressing, can ...

В работе исследованы термодинамические характеристики сверхпроводящего конденсата (вихревой материи), характерной для однозонных сверхпроводников в режиме перехода из первого рода во второй.

We review five years of experimental and theoretical attempts (2020–2025) to enhance the superconducting critical temperature (Tc) of hydrogen-rich compounds by alloying binary superhydrides with additional elements. Despite predictions of higher Tc in ternary systems such as La–Y–H, La–Ce–H, and Ca–Mg–H, experiments consistently show that the maximum Tc in disordered ternary superhydrides does not exceed that of the ...

We present a comprehensive microscopic study of the intermediate mixed state in superconductors of the intertype (IT) regime separating types I and II. Using fully self-consistent Bogoliubov–de Gennes calculations for a lattice model, we analyze few-vortex configurations across the entire temperature range 0 < T < Tc. Our results demonstrate the key features of IT superconductivity, ...

In the ballistic regime at finite temperatures, the proximity effect diminishes following an exponential pattern; however, at low or zero temperatures, this transition alters to a decay characterized by a power law with a dimensionality-dependent exponent. Here, we extend the current understanding of the proximity effect by exploring the role of normal metal–superconductor (NS) junction ...

This paper focuses on the study of reactive magnetron sputtering thin NbN films for sensitization of hot electron bolometers. HEB will be utilized in the Millimetron space observatory. The main principle of operation is a superconductivity that is experimentally observed when NbN film is cooled to the temperature of a liquid helium. At a critical ...

The influence of the magnetron deposition process parameters for a thin 4–5 nm NbN superconducting niobium nitride film and the NbN HEB mixer fabrication technology on the spread of their key parameters was experimentally studied to minimize this spread. In addition to optimizing the NbN film deposition process, uniformity of the NbN HEB mixer parameters ...
