Where are holes in Y_{1-x}Pr_xBa2Cu3O7 ?: Recent experiments by Mertz et al (Phys. Rev. B55, 9160, 1997) demonstrated that the loss of superconductivity upon Pr doping is associated with the change of the character of the oxygen holes from $p_{\sigma}$ to $p_{\pi}.$ This experiment sheds new light onto the long-standin...

Orientation-dependent Josephson effect in spin-singlet superconductor/altermagnet/spin-triplet superconductor junctions: We study the Josephson effect in the spin-singlet superconductor/altermagnet/spin-triplet superconductor junctions using the Green's function method. The current-phase difference relationships in t...

On the coupling of magnetic moments to superconducting quantum interference devices: We investigate the coupling factor $\phi_\mu$ that quantifies the magnetic flux $\Phi$ per magnetic moment $\mu$ of a point-like magnetic dipole that couples to a superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID). Representing the ...

Conventional mechanisms for "exotic" superconductivity: We consider the pairing state due to the usual BCS mechanism in substances of cubic and hexagonal symmetry where the Fermi surface forms pockets around several points of high symmetry. We find that the symmetry imposed on the multiple pocket positions could give r...

Anisotropic Superconductivity in the Induced Pairing Model: The model of local electron pairs and itinerant fermions coupled via charge exchange mechanism, which mutually induces superconductivity in both subsystems is studied for anisotropic pairing symmetry. The phase diagram is presented and the phase fluctuations e...
