Disorder induced superconducting ratchet effect in nanowires
Shachaf Poran, Efrat Shimshoni, Aviad Frydman
A dc voltage drop develops along amorphous indium oxide nanowires that are exposed to an ac bias source. This voltage is anti-symmetric with magnetic field and is characterized by…
Quantum structural phase transition in chains of interacting atoms
Efrat Shimshoni, Giovanna Morigi, Shmuel Fishman
A quasi one--dimensional system of trapped, repulsively interacting atoms (e.g., an ion chain) exhibits a structural phase transition from a linear chain to a zigzag structure, tun…
Superconductor-Insulator Magneto-Oscillations in Superconducting Strips
Yeshayahu Atzmon, Efrat Shimshoni
The magnetoresistance of thin superconducting strips subject to a perpendicular magnetic field B and low temperatures T manifests a sequence of alternating superconductor-insulator…
Quantum zigzag transition in ion chains
Efrat Shimshoni, Giovanna Morigi, Shmuel Fishman
A string of trapped ions at zero temperature exhibits a structural phase transition to a zigzag structure, tuned by reducing the transverse trap potential or the interparticle dist…
