This review presents recent developments in the understanding of how impurities influence
the electronic states in the bulk properties of superconductors. The focus is on …

Tunneling spectroscopy has played a central role in the experimental verification of the
microscopic theory of superconductivity in classical superconductors. Initial attempts to apply …

The transport of a small amount of liquid on a solid is not a simple process, owing to the
nature of the contact between the two phases. Setting a liquid droplet in motion requires non …

This article gives an overview of both theoretical and experimental developments
concerning states with lattice symmetry breaking in the cuprate high-temperature …

In materials with strong local Coulomb interactions, simple defects such as atomic
substitutions strongly affect both macroscopic and local properties of the system. A …

Magnetic interactions and magnetic impurities are destructive to superconductivity in
conventional superconductors. By contrast, in some unconventional macroscopic quantum …

This article summarizes our understanding of the Kondo effect in graphene, primarily from a
theoretical perspective. We shall describe different ways to create magnetic moments in …

The aim of this review is to summarize existing experimental investigations on the nature of
the low-energy quasiparticle excitations in high-T c cuprates, and to examine critically recent …

This volume provides a comprehensive introduction to the theory of d-wave
superconductivity, focused on d-wave pairing symmetry and its physical consequences in …

We apply a recently developed method combining first principles based Wannier functions
with solutions to the Bogoliubov–de Gennes equations to the problem of interpreting STM …
