Theoretical evaluation of the screening-current-induced magnetic field in superconducting coils with tape wires

Abstract

We theoretically investigate the physical mechanism of the screening-current-induced field (SCIF) in solenoid coils wound with superconducting tape wires. We derive the direct relationship between the SCIF and the magnetization of tape wires, and a scaling law for the SCIF and the coil dimensions is demonstrated. A simple analytical expression of the SCIF is obtained as functions of current load factor, tape wire width, and the coil dimensions. We verify that the published data for the precise numerical computation of SCIF are roughly fitted by our theoretical results for flat coils where the height is smaller than the outer diameter.

Interaction and disorder effects on Cooper instability in two-dimensional fractional Dirac semimetals

Employing a renormalization group analysis that allows for an unbiased treatment of competing physical ingredients, we systematically trace how the interplay between Cooper pairing and disorder scatterings governs the emergence or suppression of Cooper instability in the low-energy regime of fractional Dirac semimetals.In the clean limit, we find that the emergence of Cooper instability requires surpassing a finite interaction threshold $|λ_c|$, and depends sensitively on both the fractional exponent $α$ and the transfer momentum $\mathbf{Q}=(Q,ϕ)$. Specifically, bigger values of $α$ enhance the tendency toward BCS instability. For $α\in(0.001,0.61)$, the $(Q,ϕ)$ parameter space separates into two distinct regions: Zone-\uppercase\expandafter{\romannumeral1}, where Cooper instability is suppressed, and Zone-\uppercase\expandafter{\romannumeral2}, where it is allowed. In the presence of disorders, we demonstrate that they can either promote or suppress Cooper instability. Disorder of type $Δ_1$ or $Δ_2$ enhances superconductivity by reducing the critical interaction threshold $|λ_c|$ and expanding the superconducting phase space (Zone-\uppercase\expandafter{\romannumeral2}). In sharp contrast, either $Δ_0$ or $Δ_3$ suppresses Cooper pairing by increasing $|λ_c|$ and shrinking the available phase space (Zone-\uppercase\expandafter{\romannumeral1}). Although Cooper instability can be enhanced when promotive disorders ($Δ_1$, $Δ_2$) coexist with a single suppressive disorder ($Δ_0$ or $Δ_3$), the suppressive influence of $Δ_{0,3}$ generally dominates the promotive effects of $Δ_{1,2}$ in the presence of all sorts of disorders. These results would be helpful for further studies of fractional Dirac semimetals and alike materials.

Electrochemical Growth of Full Volume Meissner Effect Superconducting BKBO

In this work we show the results of electrochemical synthesis of BKBO crystals using three different experimental setup configurations. The setups differ between each other by varying level of control over physical variables and progressing from a two-electrode to a three-electrode configuration using highly oriented platinum counter electrode. By systematic analysis of the temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility at the superconducting transition of the collected crystals we observe that an order of magnitude sharper superconducting transition is achieved for the most comprehensive three-electrode setup. In addition, the level of chemical substitution can be controlled by the value of the overpotential versus reference electrode. We demonstrate that with this technique a full volume Meissner effect can be achieved with a sharp transition temperature for the superconducting crystal.

Topological Superconducting Phases in a Strained Altermagnet-Superconductor Heterostructure

We investigate topological superconductivity in a heterostructure consisting of a two-dimensional $s$-wave superconductor and a $d$-wave altermagnet with Rashba spin-orbit coupling. In particular, we study the effects of strain and hopping anisotropy on the topological superconducting phases. By calculating the Chern number, we obtain topological phase diagrams as functions of the chemical potential and the strength of the effective magnetic field induced by the magnetic proximity effect. We find that strain-induced lattice distortion allows topological superconducting phases to emerge over a broad parameter region. Our findings suggest that strain that lowers symmetry can serve as a route to realizing topological superconductivity in altermagnet-superconductor heterostructures.
