Macroscale three-dimensional proximity effect in disordered normal/superconductor nanocomposites: Recently, interest in Superconductor (S)-Normal (N) interfaces was renewed by the observation of exotic proximity effects in various systems, including S/semiconductor, S/ferromagnet, and S/topological insulator. In gene...

Transport properties of Lix(NH3)yFe2(TezSe1-z)2 single crystals in the mixed state: We study the electric transport properties of Lix(NH3)yFe2(TezSe1-z)2 single crystals with z= 0 and 0.6 in the mixed state. Thermally-activated flux-flow, vortex glass and flux-flow Hall effect (FFHE) behaviors are observed. Experimen...

On the Mechanism of Superconductivity in HTSC from Tunneling Spectroscopy Measurements on Bi-2212 Single Crystals: The paper has been withdrawn by the author because the observed effect has a different origin.

Anomalous thermodynamic power laws near topological transitions in nodal superconductors: Unconventional superconductors are most frequently identified by the observation of power-law behaviour on low-temperature thermodynamic or transport properties, such as specific heat. Here we show that, in addition to the usual...
