Research

Research interests:

  • Symmetry of the order parameter and pairing mechanisms of unconventional superconductors
  • Quantum phase transitions and quantum criticality in superconducting and magnetic systems
  • Competition and coexistence of long-range quantum orders: superconductivity, magnetism, nematicity, charge density wave, and spin density wave.
  • Abrikosov vortex physics
  • Irreversible magnetic properties of superconductors and magnetic nanoparticles
  • Magnetic molecules
  • Magnetic pattern formation in ferromagnets and superconductors
  • Structure of the intermediate state in type-I superconductors
  • Topological magnetic hysteresis
  • Effects of controlled disorder on properties of superconducting and magnetic materials. Electron, proton, and heavy-ion irradiation. Point-like and columnar defects.

Experimental:

  • Multimodal application of the tunnel-diode resonator in wide temperature and magnetic field ranges
  • London and Campbell penetration depths in superconductors
  • Optical magneto-sensing using NV centers in diamond
  • Kerr and Faraday effect magneto-optical visualization at low temperatures
  • Sonochemistry
