A review of finite size effects in quasi-zero dimensional superconductors

S Bose, P Ayyub - Reports on Progress in Physics, 2014 - iopscience.iop.org
Quantum confinement and surface effects (SEs) dramatically modify most solid state
phenomena as one approaches the nanometer scale, and superconductivity is no …

Anomalous Thouless energy and critical statistics on the metallic side of the many-body localization transition

CL Bertrand, AM García-García - Physical Review B, 2016 - APS
We study a one-dimensional XXZ spin chain in a random field on the metallic side of the
many-body localization transition by level statistics. For a fixed interaction, and intermediate …

Observation of shell effects in superconducting nanoparticles of Sn

S Bose, AM García-García, MM Ugeda, JD Urbina… - Nature materials, 2010 - nature.com
In a zero-dimensional superconductor, quantum size effects,(QSE) not only set the limit to
superconductivity, but are also at the heart of new phenomena such as shell effects, which …

Experimental test of universality of the Anderson transition

M Lopez, JF Clément, P Szriftgiser, JC Garreau… - Physical Review Letters, 2012 - APS
We experimentally test the universality of the Anderson three dimensional metal-insulator
transition, using a quasiperiodic atomic kicked rotor. Nine sets of parameters controlling the …

Observation of the Anderson metal-insulator transition with atomic matter waves: Theory and experiment

G Lemarié, J Chabé, P Szriftgiser, JC Garreau… - Physical Review A …, 2009 - APS
Using a cold atomic gas exposed to laser pulses—a realization of the chaotic quasiperiodic
kicked rotor with three incommensurate frequencies—we study experimentally and …

Critical parameters from a generalized multifractal analysis at the Anderson transition

A Rodriguez, LJ Vasquez, K Slevin, RA Römer - Physical review letters, 2010 - APS
We propose a generalization of multifractal analysis that is applicable to the critical regime of
the Anderson localization-delocalization transition. The approach reveals that the behavior …

Critical properties of the Anderson localization transition and the high-dimensional limit

E Tarquini, G Biroli, M Tarzia - Physical Review B, 2017 - APS
In this paper we present a thorough study of transport, spectral, and wave-function
properties at the Anderson localization critical point in spatial dimensions d= 3, 4, 5, 6. Our …

Visualization of multifractal superconductivity in a two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenide in the weak-disorder regime

C Rubio-Verdú, AM Garcı́a-Garcı́a, H Ryu, DJ Choi… - Nano …, 2020 - ACS Publications
Eigenstate multifractality is a distinctive feature of noninteracting disordered metals close to

Superconductivity at the three-dimensional Anderson metal-insulator transition

B Fan, AM García-García - Physical Review B, 2020 - APS
We study a disordered weakly coupled superconductor around the Anderson transition by
solving numerically the Bogoliubov–de Gennes (BdG) equations in a three-dimensional …
