Stability of the vortex matter — magnetic flux lines penetrating into the material — in type-II superconductor films is crucially important for their application. If some vortices get detached from pinning centres, the ...

We theoretically investigate the phase of the de Haas–van Alphen oscillations in topological line-node semimetals. In these semimetals the chemical potential of charge carriers can essentially depend on the magnetic field, ...

We consider a new kind of superconducting proximity effect created by the tunneling of “spin split” Cooper pairs between two conventional superconductors connected by a normal conductor containing a quantum dot. The ...

The seminal work of A.A. Abrikosov on the vortex lattices in type-II superconductors has triggered the creation and rapid development of the whole new field of condensed matter physics, namely, the physics of vortex matter ...
