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 …

Microcavity exciton‐polaritons are attractive quantum quasi‐particles resulting from strong
light–matter coupling in a quantum‐well‐cavity structure. They have become one of the most …

Quantized magnetic vortices driven by electric current determine key electromagnetic
properties of superconductors. While the dynamic behavior of slow vortices has been …

Just like insulators can present topological phases characterized by Dirac edge states,
superconductors can exhibit topological phases characterized by Majorana edge states. In …

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

Andreev bound states with opposite phase-inversion asymmetries are observed in local
tunneling spectra at the two ends of a superconductor-semiconductor-superconductor …

It is well-known in optics that the spectroscopic resolution of a diffraction grating is much
better compared to an interference device having just two slits, as in Young's famous double …

Solitons and vortices obtain widespread attention in different physical systems as they offer
potential use in information storage, processing, and communication. In exciton-polariton …

We study supercurrent and proximity vortices in a Josephson junction made of disordered
surface states of a three-dimensional topological insulator with a proximity induced in-plane …

The interplay between spontaneous symmetry breaking in many-body systems, the wavelike
nature of quantum particles and lattice effects produces an extraordinary behavior of the …
