Superconductivity (S) and ferromagnetism (F) are probed through transport and magnetization measurements in nanometer scale HoNi$_5$-NbN (F-S) bilayers and HoNi$_5$-NbN-HoNi$_5$ (F-S-F) trilayers. The choice of materials has been made on the basis of their comparable ordering temperatures and strong magnetic anisotropy in HoNi$_5$. We observe the normal state reentrant behavior in resistance vs. temperature plots of the F-S-F structures just below the superconducting transition in the limited range of HoNi$_5$ layer thickness d$_{HN}$ (20 nm $<$ d$_{HN}$ $<$ 80 nm) when d$_{NbN}$ is fixed at $simeq$ 10 nm. The reentrance is quenched by increasing the out-of-plane (H$_{perp}$) magnetic field and transport current where as in-plane (H$_{parallel}$) field of $leq$ 1500 Oe has no effect on the reentrance. The thermally activated flux flow characteristics of the S, F-S and F-S-F layers reveal a transition from collective pinning to single vortex pinning as we place F layers on both sides of the S film. The origin of the reentrant behavior seen here in the range of 0.74 $leq$ T$_{Curie}$/T$_C$ $leq$ 0.92 is attribute to a delicate balance between the magnetic exchange energy and the condensation energy in the interfacial regions of the trilayer.

The recently discovered kagome metal series $A$V$_3$Sb$_5$ ($A$=K, Rb, Cs) exhibits topologically nontrivial band structures, chiral charge order and superconductivity, presenting a unique platform for realizing exotic electronic states. The nature o
f the superconducting state and the corresponding pairing symmetry are key questions that demand experimental clarification. Here, using a technique based on the tunneling diode oscillator, the magnetic penetration depth $Deltalambda(T)$ of CsV$_3$Sb$_5$ was measured down to 0.07 K. A clear exponential behavior in $Deltalambda(T)$ with marked deviations from a $T$ or $T^2$ temperature dependence is observed at low temperatures, indicating a deficiency of nodal quasiparticles. Temperature dependence of the superfluid density and electronic specific heat can be described by two-gap $s$-wave superconductivity, consistent with the presence of multiple Fermi surfaces in CsV$_3$Sb$_5$. These results evidence nodeless superconductivity in CsV$_3$Sb$_5$ under ambient pressure, and constrain the allowed pairing symmetry.
The kagome lattice is host to flat bands, topological electronic structures, Van Hove singularities and diverse electronic instabilities, providing an ideal platform for realizing highly tunable electronic states. Here, we report soft- and mechanical
- point-contact spectroscopy (SPCS and MPCS) studies of the kagome superconductors KV$_3$Sb$_5$ and CsV$_3$Sb$_5$. Compared to the superconducting transition temperature $T_{rm c}$ from specific heat measurements (2.8~K for CsV$_3$Sb$_5$ and 1.0~K for KV$_3$Sb$_5$), significantly enhanced values of $T_{rm c}$ are observed via the zero-bias conductance of SPCS ($sim$4.2~K for CsV$_3$Sb$_5$ and $sim$1.8~K for KV$_3$Sb$_5$), which become further enhanced in MPCS measurements ($sim$5.0~K for CsV$_3$Sb$_5$ and $sim$3.1~K for KV$_3$Sb$_5$). While the differential conductance curves from SPCS are described by a two-gap $s$-wave model, a single $s$-wave gap reasonably captures the MPCS data, likely due to a diminishing spectral weight of the other gap. The enhanced superconductivity probably arises from local strain caused by the point-contact, which also leads to the evolution from two-gap to single-gap behaviors in different point-contacts. Our results demonstrate highly strain-sensitive superconductivity in kagome metals CsV$_3$Sb$_5$ and KV$_3$Sb$_5$, which may be harnessed in the manipulation of possible Majorana zero modes.
The tetragonal Mo$_5$PB$_2$ compound was recently reported to show superconductivity with a critical temperature up to 9.2 K. In search of evidence for multiple superconducting gaps in Mo$_5$PB$_2$, comprehensive measurements, including magnetic susc
eptibility, electrical resistivity, heat capacity, and muon-spin rotation and relaxation ($mu$SR) measurements were carried out. Data from both low-temperature superfluid density and electronic specific heat suggest a nodeless superconducting ground state in Mo$_5$PB$_2$. Two superconducting energy gaps $Delta_0$ = 1.02 meV (25%) and 1.49 meV (75%) are required to describe the low-$T$ electronic specific-heat data. The multigap features are clearly evidenced by the field dependence of the electronic specific-heat coefficient and the Gaussian relaxation rate in the superconducting state (i.e., superfluid density), as well as by the temperature dependence of the upper critical field. By combining our extensive experimental results with numerical band-structure calculations, we provide compelling evidence of multigap superconductivity in Mo$_5$PB$_2$.
High--quality single crystals of the heavy fermion superconductors CeCoIn$_5$ and CeIrIn$_5$ have been studied by means of low--temperature Scanning Tunneling Microscopy. Methods were established to facilitate textit{in-situ} sample cleaving. Spectro
scopy in CeCoIn$_5$ reveals a gap which persists to above $T_c$, possibly evidencing a precursor state to SC. Atomically resolved topographs show a rearrangement of the atoms at the crystal surface. This modification at the surface might influence the surface properties as detected by tunneling spectroscopy.
We investigate the excitonic fluctuation and its mediated superconductivity in the quasi one-dimensional three-chain Hubbard model for Ta$_2$NiSe$_5$ known as a candidate material for the excitonic insulator. In the semiconducting case and the semime
tallic case with a small band-overlapping where one conduction ($c$) band and one valence ($f$) band cross the Fermi level, the excitonic fluctuation with $bm{q}=bm{0}$ is enhanced due to the $c$-$f$ Coulomb interaction and diverges towards the uniform excitonic order corresponding to the excitonic insulator. On the other hands, in the semimetallic case with a large band-overlapping where two $c$ bands and one $f$ band cross the Fermi level, the non-uniform excitonic fluctuation with $bm{q} eq bm{0}$ corresponding to the nesting vector between the $c$ and $f$ Fermi-surfaces (FSs) becomes dominant and results in the Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov (FFLO) excitonic order characterized by the condensation of excitons with finite center-of-mass momentum $bm{q}$. Near the instability, the largely enhanced excitonic fluctuations mediate the $c$-$f$ interband Cooper pairs with finite center-of-mass momentum resulting in the FFLO superconductivity, which is expected to be realized in the semimetallic Ta$_2$NiSe$_5$ under high pressure.
