Mixed-symmetry superconductivity and the energy gap
Pramodh Senarath Yapa, Xinyu Guo, Joseph Maciejko +1
The symmetry of the superconducting order parameter, or simply the ``gap'', provides certain constraints on the actual mechanism that gives rise to pairing and ultimately to superc…
The Modified Airy Function Approximation Applied to the Double-Well Potential
N. Wine, J. Achtymichuk, F. Marsiglio
The single harmonic oscillator and double-well potentials are important systems in quantum mechanics. The single harmonic oscillator is {\it the} paradigm in physics, and is taught…
Reply to "Is a superconductor? Comment on "Evidence Against Superconductivity in Flux Trapping Experiments on Hydrides Under High Pressure" "
J. E. Hirsch, F. Marsiglio
The preceding Comment [1], previously posted as arXiv:2312.04495 [2], on our paper J. Supercond. Nov. Mag. 35, 3141 (2022) [3] provides a welcome opportunity to clarify what we und…
Comment on "Trapped flux in a small crystal of CaKFeAs at ambient pressure and in a diamond anvil pressure cell" by S. L. Bud'ko et al
J. E. Hirsch, F. Marsiglio
In their paper arXiv:2405.08189, Supercond. Sci. Technol. 37 (2024) 065010 [1], Bud'ko et al. present experimental results for trapped magnetic flux for a tiny sample of a type II…
Reply to "Comment on `Nonstandard superconductivity or no superconductivity in hydrides under high pressure' "
J. E. Hirsch, F. Marsiglio
In Ref. [1] we surveyed the known hydride superconductors, and compared their resistive behavior to that of typical known superconductors, including conventional (e.g. NbN and MgB$…
