Induction of p-wave and d-wave order parameters in s-wave superconductors with light pulses
Hennadii Yerzhakov, Alexander Balatsky
We construct a generalized time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau model to demonstrate the possibility of inducing p- and d-wave components in an originally pure s-wave centrosymmetric sup…
Structured light and induced vorticity in superconductors II: Quantum Print with Laguerre-Gaussian beam
Tien-Tien Yeh, Hennadii Yerzhakov, Logan Bishop-Van Horn +2
Challenge to control the quantum states of matter via light have been at the forefront of modern research on driven quantum matter. We explore the imprinting effects of structured…
Structured light and induced vorticity in superconductors I: Linearly polarized light
Tien-Tien Yeh, Hennadii Yerzhakov, Logan Bishop-Van Horn +2
We propose an approach to use linearly polarized light to imprint superconducting vortices. Within the framework of the generalized time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau equations we demo…
The transition-metal-dichalcogenide family as a superconductor tuned by charge density wave strength
Shahar Simon, Hennadii Yerzhakov, Sajilesh K. P. +6
Metallic transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), consisting of H-NbSe, H-NbS, H-TaSe and H-TaS, remain superconducting down to a thickness of a single layer. In th…
Laguerre-Gaussian light induction of orbital currents and Kapitza stabilization in superconducting circuits
Hennadii Yerzhakov, Tien-Tien Yeh, Alexander Balatsky
We investigate the effects of a Laguerre-Gaussian (LG) beam on the superconducting state. We show that the vortex angular momentum of a LG beam affects the superconducting state an…
