We calculate Ic(T) and Rn for both coherent and incoherent electron tunneling across a c-axis break junction between nu=s,d_x^2-y^2-wave superconducting half spaces, each with c-axis bandwidth 2J. Coherent quasiparticle tunneling only occurs for voltages V<2J/e, leading to difficulties in measuring Rn for underdoped samples. The coherent part of Ic(0) is independent of Delta_nu(0) for J/Delta_nu(0)<<1, and can be large. Our results are discussed with regard to recent experiments.

We calculate the critical current density $J^J_c$ for c-axis Josephson tunneling between identical high temperature superconductors twisted an angle $phi_0$ about the c-axis. We model the tunneling matrix element squared as a Gaussian in the change o
f wavevector q parallel to the junction, $<|t({bf q})|^2>proptoexp(-{bf q}^2a^2/2pi^2sigma^2)$. The $J^J_c(phi_0)/J^J_c(0)$ obtained for the s- and extended-s-wave order parameters (OPs) are consistent with the Bi$_2$Sr$_2$CaCu$_2$O$_{8+delta}$ data of Li {it et al.}, but only for strongly incoherent tunneling, $sigma^2ge0.25$. A $d_{x^2-y^2}$-wave OP is always inconsistent with the data. In addition, we show that the apparent conventional sum rule violation observed by Basov et al. might be understandable in terms of incoherent c-axis tunneling, provided that the OP is not $d_{x^2-y^2}$-wave.
Bound states in superconductors are expected to exhibit a spatially resolved electron-hole asymmetry which is the hallmark of their quantum nature. This asymmetry manifests as oscillations at the Fermi wavelength, which is usually tiny and thus washe
d out by thermal broadening or by scattering at defects. Here we demonstrate theoretically and confirm experimentally that, when coupled to magnetic impurities, bound states in a vortex core exhibit an emergent axial electron-hole asymmetry on a much longer scale, set by the coherence length. We study vortices in 2H-NbSe$_2$ and in 2H-NbSe$_{1.8}$S_{0.2}$ with magnetic impurities, characterizing these with detailed Hubbard-corrected density functional calculations. We find that the induced electron-hole imbalance depends on the band character of the superconducting material. Our results open interesting prospects for the study of coupled superconducting bound states.
We study the Josephson effect between a conventional s-wave superconductor and a non-centrosymmetric superconductor with Rashba spin-orbit coupling. Rashba spin-orbit coupling affects the Josephson pair tunneling in a characteristic way. The Josephso
n coupling can be decomposed into two parts, a `spin-singlet-like and a `spin-triplet-like component. The latter component can lead to shift of the Josephson phase by pi relative to the former coupling. This has important implications on interference effects and may explain some recent experimental results for the Al/CePt3Si junction.
The electrical resistivity rho_c of the underdoped cuprate superconductor YBCO was measured perpendicular to the CuO_2 planes on ultra-high quality single crystals in magnetic fields large enough to suppress superconductivity. The incoherent insulati
ng-like behavior of rho_c at high temperature, characteristic of all underdoped cuprates, is found to cross over to a coherent regime of metallic behavior at low temperature. This crossover coincides with the emergence of the small electron pocket detected in the Fermi surface of YBCO via quantum oscillations, the Hall and Seebeck coefficients and with the detection of a unidirectional modulation of the charge density as seen by high-field NMR measurements. The low coherence temperature is quantitatively consistent with the small hopping integral t_perp inferred from the splitting of the quantum oscillation frequencies. We conclude that the Fermi-surface reconstruction in YBCO at dopings from p = 0.08 to at least p = 0.15, attributed to stripe order, produces a metallic state with 3D coherence deep in the underdoped regime.
We have proposed to employ the microwave S parameters method to measure phase oscillation modes (POMs) in Josephson coupled-layered superconductors. For the first time, in SmBa2Cu3O7 (SmBCO) and YBa2Cu3O7-b (YBCO) at 77 K we have directly observed so
me POMs far below the Josephson plasma frequency. A series of discrete modes have been observed and discussed qualitatively in the POMs. The method may be a powerful and flexible tool in this field.
