The purpose of this review is to focus from an experimental point-of-view on the new
physical properties of some of the thinnest superconducting films that can be fabricated and …

Quantum confinement and surface effects (SEs) dramatically modify most solid state
phenomena as one approaches the nanometer scale, and superconductivity is no …

Recent progress in two-dimensional superconductors with atomic-scale thickness is
reviewed mainly from the experimental point of view. The superconducting systems treated …

Due to the spin-orbit coupling (SOC) an electric current flowing in a normal metal or
semiconductor can induce a bulk magnetic moment. This effect is known as the Edelstein …

Superconducting correlations may propagate between two superconductors separated by a
tiny insulating or metallic barrier, allowing a dissipationless electric current to flow,. In the …

In bulk materials, superconductivity is remarkably robust with respect to non-magnetic
disorder. In the two-dimensional limit, however, disorder and electron correlations both tend …

We propose a theory of nonlinear surface resistance of a dirty superconductor in a strong
radio-frequency (rf) field, taking into account magnetic and nonmagnetic impurities, finite …

We present a full microscopic theory to describe the Josephson current through an extended
superconductor-normal metal-superconductor (SNS) diffusive junction with an intrinsic spin …

Junctions and interfaces consisting of unconventional superconductors provide an excellent
experimental playground to study exotic phenomena related to the phase of the order …

We report on structural and electronic properties of superconducting nanohybrids made of
Pb grown in the ultrahigh vacuum on the atomically clean surface of single crystals of …
