This review covers experimental results and theoretical ideas on the properties of
superconducting weak links, ie, weak electrical contacts between superconducting …

The aim of this review article is to present recent advances in the theory of the dynamics of
modulated phases in the Frenkel-Kontorova model. This theory is motivated through two …

The Josephson effect describes the generic appearance of a supercurrent in a weak link
between two superconductors. Its exact physical nature deeply influences the properties of …

In recent years, Majorana physics has attracted considerable attention because of exotic
new phenomena and its prospects for fault-tolerant topological quantum computation. To …

In situ electrostatic control of two-dimensional superconductivity is commonly limited due to
large charge carrier densities, and gate-defined Josephson junctions are therefore rare …

Superconductivity of Metals and Cuprates covers the basic physics of superconductivity,
both the theoretical and experimental aspects. The book concentrates on important facts and …

Twisted bilayers of high-T c cuprate superconductors have been argued to form topological
phases with spontaneously broken time reversal symmetry T for certain twist angles. A key …

Josephson junctions hosting Majorana fermions have been predicted to exhibit a 4 π
periodic current phase relation. One experimental consequence of this periodicity is the …

Abstract Systems combining superconductors with topological insulators offer a platform for
the study of Majorana bound states and a possible route to realize fault tolerant topological …

We investigate a ballistic InSb nanoflag-based Josephson junction with Nb superconducting
contacts. The high transparency of the superconductor-semiconductor interfaces enables …
