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 ...

We theoretically investigate a model with electrons and holes whose Fermi surfaces are perfectly nested. The fermions are assumed to be interacting, both with each other and with the lattice. To suppress inhomogeneous states, a sufficiently strong long-range Coulomb repulsion is included into the model. Using the mean field approximation, one can demonstrate that, in ...

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. На основе анализа изменения зависимости энергии Гиббса системы вихрей от внешнего магнитного поля сделаны выводы о характерных типах зависимости F(B) для такого перехода. Результаты демонстрируют, что для однозонных сверхпроводников в режиме межтиповой сверхпроводимости наблюдается ...

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 study of the origin and transport of water in the universe is an important part of the scientific program of the Millimetron space observatory. This will be made possible by observations conducted in single-dish mode using an onboard instrument—the high-resolution spectrometer (HRS). This instrument incorporates heterodyne array receivers operating within the range $0.5 -2.7$ ...

The diode effect in superconducting materials has been actively investigated in recent years. Plenty of different devices have been proposed as a platform to observe the superconducting diode effect. In this work, we discuss the possibility of a highly efficient superconducting diode design with controllable polarity. We propose a mesoscopic device that consists of two ...

The structures of the superconducting spin valve (SSV) Fe/Si3N4/Pb/Si3N4/Fe (where Si3N4 is a dielectric
insulating layer of controlled thickness) were investigated. The dependence of the magnitude of the SSV effect
on the thicknesses of the superconducting (S) and insulating (I) layers was studied. Optimization of the S and I
layer thicknesses enabled a complete switching between the normal ...

We investigate the effects of fluxon cotunneling and quantum Coulomb drag in a system of two small
Josephson junctions coupled by means of mutual capacitanceCm. Depending on the value ofCm we identify three
different regimes of strong, intermediate, and weak coupling. Focusing our attention on the last two regimes we
develop a perturbation theory in the interaction and ...

The spin and integer quantum Hall effects are two cousins of topological phase transitions in two-dimensional electronic systems. Their close relationship makes it possible to convert spin to integer quantum Hall effect by continuous increase in a symmetry breaking Zeeman magnetic field. We study microscopic and mesoscopic peculiarities of bulk-edge correspondence and a fate of ...

This work studies iron doping in the classical nematic superconductor SrxBi2Se3. Superconductivity is shown to be suppressed for an atomic fraction of Fe about 0.2%. At lower iron concentrations, the superconducting critical temperature and nematic superconductivity anisotropy remain unchanged. Magnetization measurements confirm Fe-induced paramagnetism. The crystal structure (lattice parameter c) and transport properties evolve smoothly ...

In the Review we discuss anomalous aspects of superconductivity (SC) and normal state, as
well as formation of inhomogeneous (droplet-like or cluster-like) states in electron systems with
attraction. We consider both the models with the retardation (Eliashberg mechanism of SC for
strong electron-phonon interaction in metallic hydrogen) and without retardation (but with local
onsite attraction). We concentrate on the ...

In contrast to superconductors with weak nonmagnetic disorder, defining the superconducting state in a strongly disordered system depends on the employed figure of merit. Particularly, highly disordered supercon- ductors reveal a substantial disparity between their local and global superconducting properties. In real materials, the disorder distribution is not fully random but exhibits spatial correlations. A ...

A common feature of both single- and multiband superconductors is the presence of a crossover between conventional type I and type II superconductivity through an intertype (IT) domain in the phase diagram of the magnetic response. In diffusive single-band superconductors, this domain is known to be very narrow due to scattering by nonmagnetic impurities. Recently, ...
