Iron with a large magnetic moment was widely believed to be harmful to the emergence of
superconductivity because of the competition between the static ordering of electron spins …

Since the discovery of high T c iron-based superconductors in early 2008, more than 15,000
papers have been published as a result of intensive research. This paper describes the …

This review shows the highlights of a 4-year-long research project supported by the
Japanese Government to explore new superconducting materials and relevant functional …

I review theoretical ideas and implications of experiments for the gap structure and symmetry
of the Fe-based superconductors. Unlike any other class of unconventional …

An overview of a theory of electromagnetic response of superconductors in strong radio-
frequency (RF) electromagnetic fields is given with the emphasis on applications to …

For the past five decades, bulk niobium (Nb) has been the material of choice for
superconducting RF (SRF) cavity applications. Alternatives such as Nb thin films and other …

To date, the in situ fabrication of the large‐scale van der Waals multi‐heterojunction
transition metal dichalcogenides (multi‐TMDs) is significantly challenging using …

The lossless current-carrying capacity of a superconductor is limited by its critical current
density (J c). A key to enhance J c towards real-life applications is engineering defect …

The high upper critical field and low anisotropy of the iron-based superconductor BaFe2As2
make it promising for its use in the construction of superconducting magnets. However, its …

The critical temperature T c and the critical current density J c determine the limits to large-
scale superconductor applications. Superconductivity emerges at T c. The practical current …
