Nanoscale superconductivity.

The proposed research is aimed at investigating quantum-size effects in highly crystalline metallic superconducting nanowires and nanofilms. The project includes study of: (i) the thickness-dependent critical magnetic field (with and without spin effects); (ii) new Andreev-type states induced by quantum confinement in superconducting nanowires and nanofilms;(iii) the critical current in nanofilms and nanowires.
