Odd-frequency superconducting states with different types of Meissner response: Problem of coexistence

Coexistence of the Meissner and Vortex States on a Nanoscale Superconducting Spherical Shell

Synchronous measurement of even and odd order intermodulation distortion at the resonant frequency of a superconducting resonator.

A method has been developed that uses three input tones to measure both even and odd order intermodulation distortions (IMDs) inside the pass band of resonant devices. With this technique the surface current density of both the driving signal and the IMD tones can be quantified. Synchronous, or same frequency, measurement of both even and odd order distortions permits quantitative comparison of...

Odd-frequency pairing in superconducting heterostructures.

We review the theory of odd-frequency pairing in superconducting heterostructures, where an odd-frequency pairing component is induced near interfaces. A general description of the superconducting proximity effect in a normal metal or a ferromagnet attached to an unconventional superconductor (S) is given within quasiclassical kinetic theory for various types of symmetry state in S. Various pos...

Signature of magnetic-dependent gapless odd frequency states at superconductor/ferromagnet interfaces

The theory of superconductivity developed by Bardeen, Cooper and Schrieffer (BCS) explains the stabilization of electron pairs into a spin-singlet, even frequency, state by the formation of an energy gap within which the density of states is zero. At a superconductor interface with an inhomogeneous ferromagnet, a gapless odd frequency superconducting state is predicted, in which the Cooper pair...
