Peculiar effect of sample size in layered superconductors

We discuss an analytical model to calculate the superconducting volume ratio. Apart from this, our model can also predict the shape of embedded superconducting domains. We applied our model to calculate the superconducting volume ratios and shape of domains in (TMTSF)$_2$PF$_6$, (TMTSF)$_2$ClO$_4$, YBa$_2$Cu$_4$O$_8$, $β$-(BEDT)TTF$_2$I$_3$ and FeSe. Usually in layered superconductors resistivity drops anisotropically. Our analysis also explains that, this behaviour is due to flat or needle shape of the superconducting samples.

Spin-flip induced superfluidity in a ring of spinful hard-core bosons

The t - J Hamiltonian of the spinful hard-core bosonic ring in the Nagaoka limit is solved. The energy spectrum becomes quantized due to presence of spin, where each energy level corresponds to a cyclic permutation state of the spin chains. The ground state is true ferromagnetic when the ring contains N = 2, 3 spinful hard-core bosons; for all other N it is a mixture of the ferromagnetic and non-ferromagnetic states. This behaviour is different from the fermionic ring, where ground state is true ferromagnetic only for N = 3. It is shown that the intrinsic spin generated gauge fields are analogous to the synthetic gauge fields generated by rotation of either the condensate or the confining potential. It is argued that the low lying excited levels of the spin flipped states intrinsically support the superfluidity. Possible ways to experimentally verify these results are also discussed.

Conductivity of anisotropic inhomogeneous superconductors above critical temperature

We propose a model and derive analytical expressions for conductivity in heterogeneous fully anisotropic conductors with ellipsoid superconducting inclusions. This model and calculations are useful to analyze the observed temperature dependence of conductivity anisotropy in various anisotropic superconductors, where superconductivity onset happens inhomogeneously in the form of isolated superconducting islands. The results are applied to explain the experimental data on resistivity above the transition temperature $T_c$ in the high-temperature superconductor $\mathrm{YBa_2Cu_4O_8}$ and in the organic superconductor $β$-(BEDT-TTF)$_{2}$I$_{3}$. The comparison of resistivity data and diamagnetic response in $β$-(BEDT-TTF)$_{2}$I$_{3}$ allows us to estimate the size of superconducting inclusions as $d\sim 1μm$.
