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.

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 show that asymmetrical mesoscopic superconductors bring new insight into vortex physics where we found the remarkable coexistence of long and short vortices. We study an asymmetrical mesoscopic sphere, that lacks one of its quadrants, and obtain i
ts three-dimensional vortex patterns by solving the Ginzburg-Landau theory. We find that the vortex patterns are asymmetric whose effects are clearly visible and detectable in the transverse magnetization and torque.
We explore correlations of inhomogeneous local density of states (LDoS) for impure superconductors with different symmetries of the order parameter (s-wave and d-wave) and different types of scatterers (elastic and magnetic impurities). It turns out
that the LDoS correlation function of superconductor always slowly decreases with distance up to the phase-breaking length $l_{phi}$ and its long-range spatial behavior is determined only by the dimensionality, as in normal metals. On the other hand, the energy dependence of this correlation function is sensitive to symmetry of the order parameter and nature of scatterers. Only in the simplest case of s-wave superconductor with elastic scatterers the inhomogeneous LDoS is directly connected to the corresponding characteristics of normal metal.
We study the instability of the superconducting state in a mesoscopic geometry for the low pinning material Mo$_3$Ge characterized by a large Ginzburg-Landau parameter. We observe that in the current driven switching to the normal state from a nonlin
ear region of the Abrikosov flux flow, the mean critical vortex velocity reaches a limiting maximum velocity as a function of the applied magnetic field. Based on time dependent Ginzburg-Landau simulations we argue that the observed behavior is due to the high velocity vortex dynamics confined on a mesoscopic scale. We build up a general phase diagram which includes all possible dynamic configurations of Abrikosov lattice in a mesoscopic superconductor.
Motivated by the recent proposals for unconventional emergent physics in twisted bilayers of nodal superconductors, we study the peculiarities of the Josephson effect at the twisted interface between $d$-wave superconductors. We demonstrate that for
clean interfaces with a twist angle $theta_0$ in the range $0^circ<theta_0<45^circ$ the critical current can exhibit nonmonotonic temperature dependence with a maximum at a nonzero temperature as well as a complex dependence on the twist angle at low temperatures. The former is shown to arise quite generically due to the contributions of the momenta around the gap nodes, which are negative for nonzero twist angles. It is demonstrated that these features reflect the geometry of the Fermi surface and are sensitive to the form of the momentum dependence of the tunneling at the twisted interface. Close to $theta_0=45^circ$ we find that the critical current does not vanish due to Cooper pair cotunneling, which leads to a transition to a time-reversal breaking topological superconducting $d+id$ phase. Weak interface roughness, quasiperiodicity, and inhomogeneity broaden the momentum dependence of the interlayer tunneling leading to a critical current $I_csim cos(2theta_0)$ with $cos(6theta_0)$ corrections. Furthermore, strong disorder at the interface is demonstrated to suppress the time-reversal breaking superconducting phase near $theta_0=45^circ$. Last, we provide a comprehensive theoretical analysis of experiments that can reveal the full current-phase relation for twisted superconductors close to $theta_0=45^circ$. In particular, we demonstrate the emergence of the Fraunhofer interference pattern near $theta_0=45^circ$, while accounting for realistic sample geometries, and show that its temperature dependence can yield unambiguous evidence of Cooper pair cotunneling, necessary for topological superconductivity.
