How twist angle inhomogeneity masks the BKT transition and the order parameter symmetry
Ilaria Maccari, Louk Rademaker, Giulia Venditti
Two-dimensional superconductors, including twisted multilayer graphene, should exhibit a BKT transition, and the -dependence of the superfluid stiffness should distinguish betwe…
Realistic Pearl vortices in thin film superconductors
Aurélien Balzli, Louk Rademaker, Giulia Venditti
We analyze magnetic field profiles of vortices in thin-film superconductors, shedding new light on this old and presumed settled problem. In sufficiently thin films with realistic…
Angular momentum of vortex-core Majorana zero modes
Giulia Venditti, Christophe Berthod, Louk Rademaker
Majorana zero modes (MZMs) are highly sought-after states with a possible application in quantum computation. Here, we show that vortex-core MZMs can carry a nontrivial angular mom…
Something about the Mechanism of Induction Phenomena: The forgotten work of Berta de Haas-Lorentz on diamagnetism in superconductors
Giulia Venditti, Carlo Beenakker, Louk Rademaker
In 1925, Dr. Geertruida Luberta "Berta" de Haas-Lorentz published the paper "Iets over het mechanisme van inductieverschijnselen" in the journal Physica. Her paper was the first to…
