Symmetry, 2022 We review and discuss some recent developments on the unconventional interaction between superconducting systems and the local gravitational field. While it is known that gravitational perturbations (such as gravitational waves) can affect supercondensates and supercurrents dynamics, we want to focus here on the more subtle superfluid back-reaction ...

RESISTANCE IN SUPERCONDUCTORS [PDF]
International Journal of Modern Physics B, 2010 In this pedagogical review, we discuss how electrical resistance can arise in superconductors. Starting with the idea of the superconducting order parameter as a condensate wave function, we introduce vortices as topological excitations with quantized phase winding, and we show how phase slips occur when vortices cross the sample.

Metamaterial superconductors [PDF]
Nanophotonics, 2015 Abstract Searching for natural materials exhibiting larger electron‐electron interactions constitutes a traditional approach to high‐temperature superconductivity research. Very recently, we pointed out that the newly developed field of electromagnetic metamaterials deals with the somewhat related task of ...

Lightning in superconductors [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2012 Crucially important for application of type-II superconductor films is the stability of the vortex matter--magnetic flux lines penetrating the material. If some vortices get detached from pinning centres, the energy dissipated by their motion will facilitate further depinning, and may trigger a massive electromagnetic breakdown.

Holographic superconductors [PDF]
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2008 It has been shown that a gravitational dual to a superconductor can be obtained by coupling anti-de Sitter gravity to a Maxwell field and charged scalar. We review our earlier analysis of this theory and extend it in two directions. First, we consider all values for the charge of the scalar field.

Evidence for current suppression in superconductor–superconductor bilayers
Superconductor Science and Technology, 2023 Abstract Superconducting radio frequency (SRF) cavities, which are critical components in many particle accelerators, need to be operated in the Meissner state to avoid strong dissipation from magnetic vortices. For a defect-free superconductor, the maximum attainable magnetic field for operation is set by the superheating field,

Field-induced superconducting phase in superconductor–normal metal and superconductor-superconductor bilayers [PDF]
Physical Review B, 2011 We study the proximity effect in a superconductor (S)-normal metal (N) bilayer under in-plane magnetic field. A compensation between the Zeeman effect and the energy splitting between bonding and anti-bonding levels leads to a magnetic field induced superconducting phase in the (H,T) phase diagram of the S-N bilayer well above the standard paramagnetic

Adiabatic Pumping in a Superconductor-Normal-Superconductor Weak Link [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2005 We present a formalism to study adiabatic pumping through a superconductor - normal - superconductor weak link. At zero temperature, the pumped charge is related to the Berry phase accumulated, in a pumping cycle, by the Andreev bound states. We analyze in detail the case when the normal region is short compared to the superconducting coherence length.
