Quasiparticle transport in the vortex state of an s-wave superconductor at T -> 0 was investigated by measuring the thermal conductivity of LuNi_2B_2C down to 70 mK in a magnetic field perpendicular to the heat current. In zero field, there is no electronic conduction, as expected for a superconducting gap without nodes. However, as soon as vortices enter the sample quasiparticles are seen to conduct remarkably well, even better than they would in a typical d-wave superconductor. This is in stark conflict with the widely held view that quasiparticle states in s-wave superconductors just above H_{c1} should be localized and bound to the vortex core.

We report the spin Knight shift (K_s) and the nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate (1/T_1) in the vortex state as a function of magnetic field (H) up to 28 T in the high-T_c superconductor TlSr_{2}CaCu_2O_{6.8} (T_c=68 K). At low temperatures well be
low T_{c}, both K_s and 1/T_1 measured around the middle point between two nearest vortices (saddle point) increase substantially with increasing field, which indicate that the quasiparticle states with an ungapped spectrum are extended outside the vortex cores in a d-wave superconductor. The density of states (DOS) around the saddle point is found to be kappa N_0sqrt{H/H_{c2}}, with kappa=0.5sim0.7 and N_0 being the normal-state DOS.
The thermal conductivity of borocarbide superconductor LuNi_2B_2C was measured down to 70 mK (T_c/200) in a magnetic field perpendicular to the heat current from H = 0 to above H_c2 = 7 T. As soon as vortices enter the sample, the conduction at T ->
0 grows rapidly, showing unambiguously that delocalized quasiparticles are present at the lowest energies. The field dependence is very similar to that of UPt_3, a heavy-fermion superconductor with a line of nodes in the gap, and very different from the exponential dependence characteristic of s-wave superconductors. This is strong evidence for a highly anisotropic gap function in LuNi_2B_2C, possibly with nodes.
The site-selective nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate T1^{-1} is theoretically studied inside a vortex core in a chiral p-wave superconductor within the framework of the quasiclassical theory of superconductivity. It is found that T1^{-1} at the vo
rtex center depends on the sense of the chirality relative to the sense of the magnetic field. Our numerical result shows a characteristic difference in T1^{-1} between the two chiral states, k_x + i k_y and k_x - i k_y under the magnetic field.
We report on the observation of bulk superconductivity from dc magnetization measurements in a cylindrical single crystal of CuxBi2Se3. The magnitude of the magnetization in the Meissner state is very small and the magnetic-field dependence of the ma
gnetization just above the lower critical field Hc1 is very different from those of usual type-II superconductors. We studied the character of the vortex state theoretically in a spin-triplet pairing superconductor and compared it with the experimental results. The results showed that, the superconductivity observed in CuxBi2Se3 is consistent with the spin-triplet pairing superconductivity with odd parity. We also observed a rapid relaxation phenomenon of the superconducting diamagnetism.
The mechanism of the interplay between superconductivity and magnetism is one of the intriguing and challenging problems in physics. Theory has predicted that the ferromagnetic order can coexist with the superconducting order in the form of a spontan
eous vortex phase in which magnetic vortices nucleate in the absence of an external field. However, there has been no rigorous demonstration of spontaneous vortices by bulk magnetic measurements. Here we show the results of experimental observations of spontaneous vortices using a superconductor/ferromagnet fractal nanocomposite, in which superconducting MgB2 and ferromagnetic nanograins are dispersedly embedded in the normal matrix to realize the remote electromagnetic interaction and also to induce a long-range Josephson coupling. We found from bulk magnetization measurements that the sample with nonzero remanent magnetization exhibits the magnetic behaviors which are fully consistent with a spontaneous vortex scenario predicted theoretically for magnetic inclusions in a superconducting material. The resulting spontaneous vortex state is in equilibrium and coexists surprisingly with a Meissner state (complete shielding of an external magnetic field). The present observation not only reveals the evolution process of the spontaneous vortices in superconductor/ferromagnet hybrids, but it also sheds light on the role of the fractal disorder and structural heterogeneity on the vortex nucleation under the influence of Josephson superconducting currents.
