We show that narrow superconducting strips in superconducting (S) and normal (N) states are universally described by the model presenting them as lateral NSN proximity systems in which the superconducting central band is sandwiched between damaged edge-bands with suppressed superconductivity.The width of the superconducting band was experimentally determined from the value of magnetic field at which the band transits from the Meissner state to the static vortex state. Systematic experimental study of 4.9 nm thick NbN strips with widths in the interval from 50 nm to 20 ${mu}$m, which are all smaller than the Pearls length, demonstrates gradual evolution of the temperature dependence of the critical current with the change of the strip width.

In this paper we show that the phase shift of the spin waves can be controlled in transmission through metasurface represented as an ultra-narrow non-magnetic spacer separating two ferromagnetic films. We design this metasurface to present the focusi ng of spin waves in an Co thin film. For this purpose we exploit the strength of the interlayer exchange coupling interactions of RKKY type which allows to control the phase of the transmitted and reflected spin waves in the wide range of angles [$-pi/2$;$pi/2$]. We combined this phase-shift dependency with the lens equation to demonstrate numerically the lens for spin waves based on ultra-narrow metasurface.
Structural and superconducting properties of high quality Niobium nanofilms with different thicknesses are investigated on silicon oxide and sapphire substrates. The role played by the different substrates and the superconducting properties of the Nb films are discussed based on the defectivity of the films and on the presence of an interfacial oxide layer between the Nb film and the substrate. The X-ray absorption spectroscopy is employed to uncover the structure of the interfacial layer. We show that this interfacial layer leads to a strong proximity effect, specially in films deposited on a SiO$_2$ substrate, altering the superconducting properties of the Nb films. Our results establish that the critical temperature is determined by an interplay between quantum-size effects, due to the reduction of the Nb film thicknesses, and proximity effects.

We study the field dependence of the maximum supercurrent in narrow edge-type thin-film Josephson junctions. It is assumed that the junction extends across thin-film strip of width W that is much less than the Pearl length; the film thickness is much less than the London penetration depth. We calculate the maximum supercurrent within nonlocal Josephson electrodynamics, which takes into account the stray fields affecting tunneling currents. In the case when W is much less than the thin-film Josephson length, the phase difference along the junction depends only on the junction geometry and the applied field, but is independent of the Josephson critical current density, i.e., it is universal. Zeros of the maximum supercurrent are equidistant only in large fields (unlike the case of junctions with bulk banks); they are spaced by a field that is much smaller than the one of bulk junctions. Peaks of the maximum supercurrent decrease inversely proportional to the square root of the applied field, i.e., slower than 1/H for the bulk.

We study vortex current distributions in narrow thin-film superconducting strips. If one defines the vortex core ``boundary as a curve where the current reaches the depairing value, intriguing features emerge. Our conclusions based on the London appr oach have only qualitative relevance since the approach breaks down near the core. Still, the main observation which might be useful is that the core size near the strip edges is smaller than in the rest of the strip. If so, the Bardeen-Stephen flux-flow resistivity should be reduced near the edges. Moreover, at elevated temperatures, when the depairing current is small, the vortex core may extend to the whole strip width, thus turning into an edge-to-edge phase-slip line.

Using data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey data release 3 (SDSS DR3) we investigate how narrow (<700km/s) CIV and MgII quasar absorption line systems are distributed around quasars. The CIV absorbers lie in the redshift range 1.6 < z < 4 and the Mg II absorbers in the range 0.4<z<2.2. By correlating absorbers with quasars on different but neighbouring lines-of-sight, we measure the clustering of absorbers around quasars on comoving scales between 4 and 30Mpc. The observed comoving correlation lengths are r_o~5h^-1Mpc, similar to those observed for bright galaxies at these redshifts. Comparing with correlations between absorbers and the quasars in whose spectra they are identified then implies: (i) that quasars destroy absorbers to comoving distances of ~300kpc (CIV) and ~800kpc (MgII) along their lines-of-sight; (ii) that >40% of CIV absorbers within 3,000km/s of the QSO are not a result of large-scale clustering but rather are directly associated with the quasar itself; (iii) that this intrinsic absorber population extends to outflow velocities of order 12,000km/s; (iv) that this outflow component is present in both radio-loud and radio-quiet quasars; and (v) that a small high-velocity outflow component is observed in the MgII population, but any further intrinsic absorber component is undetectable in our clustering analysis. We also find an indication that absorption systems within 3,000km/s are more abundant for radio-loud than for radio-quiet quasars. This suggests either that radio-loud objects live in more massive halos, or that their radio activity generates an additional low-velocity outflow, or both.
