Gap structure and phase diagram of twisted bilayer cuprates from a microscopic perspective

This paper employs a tight-binding lattice model to investigate the gap structure and phase diagram of twisted bilayer cuprates, revealing that the time-reversal symmetry breaking d+idd+id' state is correlated with the Van Hove singularity's position—which varies with doping and interlayer tunneling—and discussing how these findings reconcile conflicting experimental results.

Supercurrents in Josephson junctions with chiral molecular potentials

This study demonstrates that while chiral molecular potentials in superconducting Josephson junctions have minimal impact on equilibrium charge supercurrents, they induce distinct, anisotropic spin-polarized supercurrents dependent on molecular handedness, thereby establishing spin-polarized Josephson interferometry as a sensitive platform for detecting molecular chirality and advancing superconducting spintronics.

Pauli-limited upper critical field and anisotropic depairing effect of La2.82Sr0.18Ni2O7 superconducting thin film

This study demonstrates that epitaxial La2.82Sr0.18Ni2O7 thin films exhibit intrinsic three-dimensional bulk superconductivity with a sharp transition at 31.6 K, where the in-plane upper critical field is significantly suppressed by spin-paramagnetic pair breaking near the Pauli limit, resulting in a reduced anisotropy ratio of approximately 1.34.

Fast and Slow Sound Excitations in Nematic Aerogel in superfluid 3He

This paper theoretically explains the rapid growth and subsequent plateau of a specific sound wave frequency observed in nematic aerogel-filled superfluid 3He by modeling the aerogel's elastic properties and demonstrating how the hybridization of isotropic first sound, anisotropic second sound, fourth sound, and standard elastic modes leads to these distinct velocity behaviors near the polar phase transition.

This study demonstrates that magnetic penetration depth measurements in UTe2_2 can directly probe Majorana surface states and distinguish between different topological pairing symmetries, as surface contributions dominate the low-temperature TnT^n scaling behavior in low-κ\kappa superconductors while bulk quasiparticles govern the response in high-κ\kappa regimes.
