We show that there exist a class of nonequilibrium systems for which a non-equilibrium analog of the Ginzburg-Landau (GL) functional can be constructed and propose the procedure for its derivation. As an example, we consider a small superconductor island of the size less than the coherence length in a stationary nonequlibrium state. We find the GL expansion of the free energy functional of such a system and analyze the dependence of the coefficients of the expansion upon the external drive and the non-equilibrium distribution functions.

We derive Ginzburg-Landau-like action for two-dimensional disordered superconductor under far-from-equilibrium conditions in a fluctuational regime. Then, utilizing it, we calculate fluctuation induced density of states, Maki-Thomson and Aslamazov-La
rkin type contributions to the in-plane electrical conductivity. We apply our approach to thin superconducting film sandwiched between a gate and a substrate that have different temperatures and different electrochemical potentials.
A thin superconducting disk, with radius $R=4xi$ and height $H=xi$, is studied in the presence of an applied magnetic field parallel to its major axis. We study how the boundaries influence the decay of the order parameter near the edges for three-dimensional vortex states.
A critical aspect of quantum mechanics is the nonlocal nature of the wavefunction, a characteristic that may yield unexpected coupling of nominally-isolated systems. The capacity to detect this coupling can be vital in many situations, especially tho
se in which its strength is weak. In this work we address this problem in the context of mesoscopic physics, by implementing an electron-wave realization of a Fano interferometer using pairs of coupled quantum point contacts (QPCs). Within this scheme, the discrete level required for a Fano resonance is provided by pinching off one of the QPCs, thereby inducing the formation of a quasi-bound state at the center of its self-consistent potential barrier. Using this system, we demonstrate a form of textit{nonequilibrium} Fano resonance (NEFR), in which nonlinear electrical biasing of the interferometer gives rise to pronounced distortions of its Fano resonance. Our experimental results are captured well by a quantitative theoretical model, which considers a system in which a standard two-path Fano interferometer is coupled to an additional, textit{intruder}, continuum. According to this theory, the observed distortions in the Fano resonance arise textit{only} in the presence of coupling to the intruder, indicating that the NEFR provides a sensitive means to infer the presence of weak coupling between mesoscopic systems.
Nonequilibrium charge transport in superconductors has been investigated intensely in the 1970s and 80s, mostly in the vicinity of the critical temperature. Much less attention has been focussed on low temperatures, and the role of the quasiparticle
spin. We report here on nonlocal transport in superconductor hybrid structures at very low temperatures. By comparing the nonlocal conductance obtained using ferromagnetic and normal-metal detectors, we discriminate charge and spin degrees of freedom. We observe spin injection and long-range transport of pure, chargeless spin currents in the regime of large Zeeman splitting. We elucidate charge and spin tranport by comparison to theoretical models. The observed long-range chargeless spin transport opens a new path to manipulate and utilize the quasiparticle spin in superconductor nanostructures.
We review the recent progress in understanding the properties of spin-split superconductors under non-equilibrium conditions. Recent experiments and theories demonstrate a rich variety of transport phenomena occurring in devices based on such materia
ls that suggest direct applications in thermoelectricity, low-dissipative spintronics, radiation detection and sensing. We discuss different experimental situations and present a theoretical framework based on quantum kinetic equations. Within this framework we provide an accurate description of the non-equilibrium distribution of charge, spin and energy, which are the relevant non-equilibrium modes, in different hybrid structures. We also review experiments on spin-split superconductors and show how transport measurements reveal the properties of the non-equilibrium modes and their mutual coupling. We discuss in detail spin injection and diffusion and very large thermoelectric effects in spin-split superconductors.
