Thickness (dF) and concentration (x) dependence of the Curie temperature of NixCu100-x(dF) ferromagnetic alloy layers (x =0.55,0.65, dF =[3nm{\div}12nm]) being in contact with a vanadium layer was studied. The Curie temperature of the ferromagnetic layers depends on the thickness when it is comparable with the interface layer between the F and the vanadium layers, which is attributed to the proximity coupling of the interface region with the rest of the F layer. The present study provides valuable information for fabrication of samples with controlled exchange coupling strength for studies of superconductor/ferromagnet (S/F) proximity effects.

Numerous studies have provided compelling evidence that the probability distribution of avalanche sizes follows a power law, and that 1/f noise is present in the stochastic dynamics of landslides. We present a theoretical explanation of these phenomena within the framework of self-organized criticality theory, proposing a discrete-time model in the form of a sandpile cellular ...

A discrete-time model is presented for the self-organization of the X/Twitter social network to the edge of a phase transition, characterized by avalanche-like propagation of information in the network. The model is based on the analogy between the critical dynamics of the X social network and sandpile cellular automata with Manna rule on the Chung-Lu ...

Superconducting properties of metallic micro- and nanowires can be entirely different from those of bulk superconductors. Of particular interest is the nonequilibrium current-induced state of a quasi-one-dimensional superconducting channel. The most interesting phenomenon here is the stepped I–V characteristic, explained by a process known as phase slip center activation. If the origin of such step-like ...

Machine learning (ML) has become a powerful tool for accelerating the development of carbon-based supercapacitors;
however, most published models assume that a single predictive framework can describe both conventional
porous carbons and hybrid carbon electrodes. Here, we test this assumption using a comprehensive
benchmark dataset and an extended literature-curated dataset enriched with synthesis- and electrolyte-related
descriptors. Three ML algorithms ...

This paper compares the ranging precision of direct time-of-flight (dToF) and non-line-of-sight (NLOS) LiDAR architectures, both using a superconducting nanowire single-photon detector (SNSPD). Both systems operate at 1550 nm with a 50 ps pulsed laser and time-correlated single-photon counting (TCSPC). The dToF configuration achieved approximately 100 µm precision at 10 m, while the NLOS configuration achieved 500 µm precision for ...

Manufacturing precise quantum computers with small errors in quantum operations, long coherence times, and low power consumption is the most important challenge in modern nanoelectronics. To understand the operating modes of such calculators in detail, both the optimal arrangement of the qubit system within the structure and changes in its magnetic properties must be comprehensively ...

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 the exchange scattering rate. Consequently, a parallel magnetic field can enhance
the critical temperature Tc when magnetic-field pair breaking is weak, as realized for ...

Boron–carbon clathrates, represented by SrB3C3, are emerging as a promising family of phonon-mediated conventional superconductors with high critical temperatures (Tc) under ambient pressure. Substituting Sr with other metals has been extensively explored to enhance superconductivity; however, the underlying mechanism of the Tc variation remains elusive. We demonstrate a strong non-monotonic increase in Tc upon hole ...

We report a thermally driven structural crossover of vortex matter in a two-dimensional superconducting Penrose quasicrystal. At low temperatures, vortices are pinned by the quasiperiodic lattice, forming an aperiodic pattern. With increasing temperature, vortex-vortex interactions dominate, leading to a conventional triangular Abrikosov lattice. Our findings reveal a tunable interplay between intrinsic pinning and vortex interactions, ...

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, ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
