In an earlier paper [Tian, Phys. Rev. Lett. 95, 076802 (2005)], we reported an antiproximity
effect (APE) in a system consisting of 40 nm diameter Zn nanowires (ZNWs) sandwiched …

Transport measurements were made to study the superconducting transition of four 6 mm
long niobium nanowires with different cross-sectional dimensions. A low-temperature …

We report on the superconducting properties and intermediate resistive steps (IRS)
observed in the current–voltage characteristics (IVC) of tungsten meander (MW) structures …

From a numerical solution of the Bogoliubov-de Gennes equations, we investigate an
interplay of the transverse discrete modes with a longitudinal supercurrent in a metallic …

In quasi-one-dimensional nanowires, superconductivity is destroyed by phase slip events.
Phase slips can be caused by thermal activation over a free energy barrier (TAPS) or …

Quantization of the transverse electron motion in high-quality superconducting metallic
nanowires and nanofilms results in the formation of well-distinguished single-electron …

The properties of one-dimensional (1D) nanostructured materials can change considerably
and unexpectedly, when their diameters attain the “ultrathin” level, ie, below 10 nm. Herein …

We present orientation dependent magnetic measurements on ordered arrays of parallel Sn
nanowires for diameters D≈ 6–170 nm. For D⩾ 50 nm clear superconducting transitions …

The effect of the magnetic field renormalization in superconducting nanostructured materials
is quantitatively evaluated. For demonstration purposes, three superconducting structures …

A two-beam laser fabrication technique is introduced to fabricate the single silver nanowire
(AgNW) on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate. The resistivity of the AgNW is …
