1. Modeling mesoscopic unconventional superconductors
Abstract : High-temperature superconducting materials are often experimentally realized as thin films that can be patterned into devices operating in the mesoscopic regime. On this length scale, various finite-size and surface effects heavily influence the nature of the superconducting state, and can induce new ground states with spontaneously broken symmetries.

2. Selfconsistent theory of superconductivity in unconventional superconductors
Abstract : Superconductivity is broadly believed to stem from either electron-phonon interaction (EPI) or from purely electronic mechanisms, such as antiferromagnetic spin fluctuations. For many materials the discussion about which of these interactions is the dominant "pairing glue" is still ongoing. READ MORE

3. Crystallization of the superconducting phase in unconventional superconductors
Abstract : Superconductivity is a macroscopic quantum phenomenon, in the sense that a macroscopic number of electrons form a pair condensate, that occupies a single ground state. The electrons in this state are phase-coherent, breaking global U (1)-symmetry, and spatial variations of the phase imply superflows that usually cost kinetic energy, resulting in a uniform and rigid phase.

4. Angle-resolved photoemission study of unconventional cuprate superconductors
Abstract : Understanding unconventional superconductivity remains one of the most important unsolved problems in physics. A particularly noteworthy case is the copper-based high-temperature superconductor, which stands out due to its remarkably high transition temperature and relatively simple structure. READ MORE

5. Transport theory and finite element methods for mesoscopic superconducting devices
Abstract : At low temperatures, electrons in a superconductor exhibit pairing correlations that result in a macroscopic, phase-coherent ground state. This leads to peculiar electromagnetic properties such as the flow of dissipationless charge currents and expelling of external magnetic fields. READ MORE
