Quantum breakdown of superconductivity in low-dimensional materials
Benjamin Sacépé, Mikhail Feigel'man, Teunis M. Klapwijk
In order to understand the emergence of superconductivity it is useful to study and identify the various pathways leading to the destruction of superconductivity. One way is to use…
Collective energy gap of preformed Cooper-pairs in disordered superconductors
Thomas Dubouchet, Benjamin Sacépé, Johanna Seidemann +3
In most superconductors the transition to the superconducting state is driven by the binding of electrons into Cooper-pairs. The condensation of these pairs into a single, phase co…
Extreme Sensitivity of the Superconducting State in Thin Films
I. Tamir, A. Benyamini, E. J. Telford +12
All non-interacting two-dimensional electronic systems are expected to exhibit an insulating ground state. This conspicuous absence of the metallic phase has been challenged only i…
Tunable sub-gap radiation detection with superconducting resonators
O. Dupré, A. Benoît M. Calvo, A. Catalano +7
We have fabricated planar amorphous Indium Oxide superconducting resonators ( K) that are sensitive to frequency-selective radiation in the range of 7 to 10 GHz. Those…
Pair-breaking quantum phase transition in superconducting nanowires
Hyunjeong Kim, Fédéric Gay, Adrian Del Maestro +2
A quantum phase transition (QPT) between distinct ground states of matter is a wide-spread phenomenon in nature, yet there are only a few experimentally accessible systems where th…
Relaxation of the resistive superconducting state in boron-doped diamond films
A. Kardakova, A. Shishkin, A. Semenov +8
We report a study of the relaxation time of the restoration of the resistive superconducting state in single crystalline boron-doped diamond using amplitude-modulated absorption of…
High field termination of a Cooper-pair insulator
B. Sacepe, J. Seidemann, M. Ovadia +5
We conducted a systematic study of the disorder dependence of the termination of superconductivity, at high magnetic fields (B), of amorphous indium oxide films. Our lower disorder…
Evidence for a Finite Temperature Insulator
M. Ovadia, D. Kalok, I. Tamir +3
In superconductors the zero-resistance current-flow is protected from dissipation at finite temperatures (T) by virtue of the short-circuit condition maintained by the electrons th…
Localization of preformed Cooper-pairs in disordered superconductors
B. Sacepe, T. Dubouchet, C. Chapelier +5
The most profound effect of disorder on electronic systems is the localization of the electrons transforming an otherwise metallic system into an insulator. If the metal is also a…
Pseudogap in a thin film of a conventional superconductor
B. Sacepe, C. Chapelier, T. I. Baturina +3
A superconducting state is characterized by the gap in the electronic density of states which vanishes at the superconducting transition temperature Tc. It was discovered that in h…
Tunneling Spectroscopy and Vortex Imaging in Boron-Doped Diamond
B. Sacepe, C. Chapelier, C. Marcenat +4
We present the first scanning tunneling spectroscopy study of single-crystalline boron doped diamond. The measurements were performed below 100 mK with a low temperature scanning t…
