Two interacting GL-equations in High-T$_c$ superconductivity and quantum chromodynamics

Abstract

The possible connection between High-T$_c$ superconductivity and quantum chromodynamics is considered that is based on two interacting Ginzburg-Landau equations. For High-T$_c$ superconductivity these two equations describe Cooper electrons interacting with different kind of quasi particles (phonons, magnons, excitons and so on). The interaction term describes a possible interaction between different kind of quasi particles. For quantum chromodynamics the equations describe two kinds of gauge condensates. The condensates describe a gauge potential from a subalgebra of the SU(3) gauge group and the corresponding coset. Regular solutions are found which describe the situation where one field, $ψ_1$, is pushed out by another, $ψ_2$.

Fully Gapped Superconductivity in the Nonsymmorphic Centrosymmetric Superconductor In2Bi

The nature of superconductivity in nonsymmorphic In2Bi remains an open question, with ongoing debate over whether it exhibits conventional (BCS-like) or unconventional superconductivity. Here we report the physical characteristics and superconducting properties of polycrystalline In2Bi. Measurements of electrical resistivity, magnetization, penetration depth, and specific heat demonstrate the superconducting transition temperature about 6 K, with a sharp transition in resistivity (Delta_Tc = 0.1 K) and RRR = 57.32, reflecting the high quality of the sample. The upper critical field Hc2(0) obtained from resistivity and magnetization measurements are in good agreement with each other and are smaller than the Pauli limit, suggesting orbital limited mechanism. The coherence length = 35.43 nm, penetration depth = 101.9 nm and electron-phonon coupling constant = 1.05 suggest strongly coupled type-II superconductivity. For T<Tc, Delta_lambda(T) is best described by an s-wave BCS model and does not have any power law dependency with T, which is expected for a nodeless superconducting order parameter. The superfluid density reveals a fully gapped superconductivity with a gap of 2Delta_0/kBTc = 4.02. In the superconducting state, the electronic specific heat is best described by an s-wave BCS model with a gap of 2Delta_0/kBTc = 4.05. All these results from the present study indicate that In2Bi is a typical type-II,BCS-like, strongly coupled, and fully gapped superconductor in the dirty limit.

Hidden Staggered Superconducting Order in V2Se2O-Family Altermagnets

$η$ pairing describes a staggered superconducting condensate whose order parameter changes sign between neighboring unit cells while maintaining a uniform magnitude. Nearly four decades after its theoretical proposal by C. N. Yang, a material platform for stabilizing $η$ pairing has remained elusive. Here, we reveal that altermagnetism, despite being pair breaking for conventional BCS pairing, naturally favors $η$-like pairing in V$_2$Se$_2$O-family altermagnets. Their valley-contrasting spin structure gives rise to oppositely spin-polarized, symmetry-related valleys centered at $X=(π,0)$ and $Y=(0,π)$, which form spin-singlet pairing partners separated by the commensurate momentum $\mathbf Q=(π,π)$, thereby favoring an $η$-like condensate. Self-consistent calculations demonstrate that the resulting $η$-like state remains robust over broad variations of chemical potential, hopping parameters, and Fermi-surface topology. To detect this hidden staggered order, we propose a phase-sensitive Josephson measurement with a uniform superconductor, where destructive interference suppresses single-Cooper-pair tunneling while preserving two-Cooper-pair processes. This constitutes a charge-$4e$-like Josephson response despite a bulk condensate composed of charge-$2e$ Cooper pairs, providing a direct phase-sensitive signature of the otherwise elusive $η$-like condensate in V$_2$Se$_2$O-family altermagnets.

From Atomistic Impurity Landscapes to Two-Level-System Distributions and Microwave Loss: Hydrogen-Induced Losses in Nb$_2$O$_{5-δ}$ and Ta$_2$O$_{5-δ}$

We introduce a first-principles-guided framework for predicting statistical TLS distributions from mobile impurities in disordered materials. Machine-learned interatomic potentials, with DFT and minimum-action-path validation, connect impurity landscapes to tunnel-splitting and asymmetry distributions, TLS densities, and dielectric loss. Applied to amorphous Nb$_2$O$_{5-δ}$ and Ta$_2$O$_{5-δ}$, the framework implicates interstitial hydrogen as a source of microwave loss. Loss tangents match Nb-pentoxide measurements at inferred H concentrations, while weaker H uptake in Ta reproduces the Nb/Ta TLS contrast.
