This review paper illustrates the main normal and superconducting state properties of
magnesium diboride, a material known since the early 1950s but only recently discovered to …

The observation of vortices in superconductors was a major breakthrough in developing the
conceptual background for superconducting applications. Each vortex carries a flux …

We review the current situation in the theory of superconducting and transport properties of
MgB2. First principle calculations of the electronic structure and electron–phonon coupling …

We present very low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) experiments on
single-crystalline samples of the superconductor β-Bi 2 Pd. We find a single …

The bulk upper critical field H c 2 (T) of superconducting MgB 2 and its anisotropy are
established by analyzing experimental data on the temperature and magnetic-field …

We present a microscopic study of the behavior of the order parameters near the boundaries
of a two-band superconducting material, described by the standard tight-binding Bardeen …

The properties of nanoscopic superconducting structures fabricated with a scanning
tunnelling microscope are reviewed, with emphasis on the effects of high magnetic fields …

We report an anomalous tunneling conductance with a zero-bias peak in flakes of
superconducting 2 H-TaS 2 detached through mechanical exfoliation. To explain the …

Vertical graphene heterostructures made up of graphene layers separated by boron nitride
spacers allow for novel ways of tuning the interactions between electrons. We study the …

We present scanning tunneling spectroscopy and microscopy measurements at low
temperatures in the borocarbide materials R Ni 2 B 2 C (R= Y, Lu). The characteristic strong …
