Superconductivity & Quantum Materials
Mechanisms and materials of superconductivity: cuprates, nickelates, hydrides, moire systems, topological superconductors, applied HTS and computational discovery.
Cuprates & the Pairing Mechanism
High-Tc cuprates, the Hubbard model and its numerics, the pseudogap, strange-metal transport, charge order and d-wave pairing.
Nickelate & Iron-Based Superconductors
Infinite-layer and Ruddlesden-Popper nickelates (including La3Ni2O7 under pressure and ambient-pressure films) and iron pnictides and chalcogenides.
Superconducting Hydrides Under Pressure
H3S, LaH10 and ternary hydrides; diamond-anvil-cell measurement challenges, reproducibility disputes and the search for metastable low-pressure hydrides.
Room-Temperature Superconductivity Claims & Replication
High-profile claims (LK-99, retracted hydride papers) and replication efforts; the evidentiary standard of zero resistance plus a bulk Meissner effect.
Moire & 2D Superconductivity
Magic-angle graphene, twisted transition-metal dichalcogenides, rhombohedral multilayer graphene and chiral or unconventional 2D superconductivity.
Topological Superconductivity & Majorana Modes
Majorana zero modes in nanowires, Kitaev chains, vortex-bound states in iron-based materials and the reproducibility debate.
Applied Superconductivity & HTS Magnets
REBCO coated conductors, 20-tesla-class fusion magnets, MRI, power cables, superconducting RF cavities and superconducting electronics.
Computational & AI-Driven Superconductor Discovery
Ab initio Eliashberg predictions, machine-learning Tc models and high-throughput screening for new conventional and unconventional superconductors.
