Topological materials, hosting topological nontrivial electronic band, have attracted
widespread attentions. As an application of topology in physics, the discovery and study of …

Motivated by a recent experiment [JWA Robinson, JDS Witt, and MG Blamire, Science 329,
5987 (2010) 10.1126/science. 1189246], we report here the possibility of establishing a long …

The average inter-wire spacing in aligned nanowire systems strongly influences both the
physical and transport properties of the bulk material. Because most studies assume that the …

We investigate proximity-induced superconductivity in micrometer-long bismuth nanowires
connected to superconducting electrodes with a high critical field. At low temperature we …

Heterostructures composed of ferromagnetic La 0.7 Sr 0.3 MnO 3, ferromagnetic SrRuO 3,
and superconducting YBa 2 Cu 3 O 6+ x were studied experimentally. Structures of …

Odd-frequency superconductivity, originally proposed by Berezinskii in 1974, is an exotic
phase of matter in which Cooper pairing between electrons is entirely dynamical in nature …

We consider the problem of bound states in strongly anisotropic ferromagnetic impurities in
a superconductor, motivated by recent experiments that claim to observe Majorana modes at …

Supercurrents carry charge but not spin in the vast majority of superconductors. This is
because the charge carriers are Cooper pairs which are formed of electrons with antiparallel …

The promise of enhanced and tailored properties motivates the study of one-dimensional
nanomaterials, especially aligned carbon nanotubes (A-CNTs), for the reinforcement of …

The experimental achievements during the past year in demonstrating the existence of long-
ranged spin-triplet supercurrents in ferromagnets proximity coupled to singlet …
