Three-dimensional energy gap and origin of charge-density wave in kagome superconductor KV3Sb5: Kagome lattices offer a fertile ground to explore exotic quantum phenomena associated with electron correlation and band topology. The recent discovery of superconductivity coexisting with charge-density wave (CDW) in the ...

Depth profile of London length induced by nonuniform scattering rate maximizing breakdown magnetic field in type II superconductors: The breakdown magnetic field is the key parameter which determines the performance of superconducting radio-frequency cavities. This is the maximum field up to which the Meissner state ...
