Superconducting metamaterials are utilized to study the approach to the plasmonic limit simply by tuning temperature to modify the superfluid density, and thus the superfluid plasma frequency. We examine the persistence of artificial magnetism in a metamaterial made with superconductors in the plasmonic limit, and compare to the electromagnetic behavior of normal metals as a function of frequency as the plasma frequency is approached from below. Spiral-shaped Nb thin film meta-atoms of scaled dimensions are employed to explore the plasmonic behavior in these superconducting metamaterials, and the scaling condition allows extraction of the temperature dependent superfluid density, which is found to be in good agreement with expectations.

Superconducting thin-film metamaterial resonators can provide a dense microwave mode spectrum with potential applications in quantum information science. We report on the fabrication and low-temperature measurement of metamaterial transmission-line r esonators patterned from Al thin films. We also describe multiple approaches for numerical simulations of the microwave properties of these structures, along with comparisons with the measured transmission spectra. The ability to predict the mode spectrum based on the chip layout provides a path towards future designs integrating metamaterial resonators with superconducting qubits.
We theoretically investigate the magnetic response of two-dimensional arrays of superconducting strips, which are regarded as essential structures of dc magnetic metamaterials. We analytically obtain local distributions of the magnetic field for the ideal complete shielding state (i.e., $Lambda/wto 0$, where $2w$ is the strip width, $Lambda=lambda^2/d$ is the Pearl length, $lambda$ is the London penetration depth, and $d$ is the strip thickness), and derive effective permeability by averaging the local field distributions. We also perform numerical calculations for a realistic case, taking finite $Lambda/w>0$ into account. We investigate two types of strip arrays: a rectangular array and a hexagonal array. The resulting effective permeability has large anisotropy that depends on the dimensions and arrangement of the superconducting strips, and the hexagonal array is found to be more advantageous for obtaining large anisotropy than the rectangular array.
In this Letter we present resonance properties in terahertz metamaterials consisting of a split-ring resonator array made from high temperature superconducting films. By varying the temperature, we observed efficient metamaterial resonance switching and frequency tuning with some features not revealed before. The results were well reproduced by numerical simulations of metamaterial resonance using the experimentally measured complex conductivity of the superconducting film. We developed a theoretical model that explains the tuning features, which takes into account the resistive resonance damping and additional split-ring inductance contributed from both the real and imaginary parts of the temperature-dependent complex conductivity. The theoretical model further predicted more efficient resonance switching and frequency shifting in metamaterials consisting of a thinner superconducting split-ring resonator array, which were also verified in experiments.

We have theoretically investigated the magnetic response of two-dimensional (2D) arrays of superconducting and soft magnetic strips, which are regarded as models of dc magnetic metamaterials. The anisotropy of the macroscopic permeabilities depends o n whether the applied magnetic field is parallel to the wide surface of the strips ($mu_{parallel}$) or perpendicular ($mu_{perp}$). For the 2D arrays of superconducting strips, $0<mu_{perp}/mu_0ll mu_{parallel}/mu_0simeq 1$, whereas for the 2D arrays of soft magnetic strips, $mu_{parallel}/mu_0ggmu_{perp}/mu_0simeq 1$, where $mu_0$ is the vacuum permeability. We also demonstrate that strong anisotropy of the macroscopic permeability can be obtained for hybrid arrays of superconducting and soft magnetic strips, where $mu_{parallel}/mu_0gg 1gg mu_{perp}/mu_0>0$.
We use high-resolution angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy to map the three-dimensional momentum dependence of the superconducting gap in FeSe. We find that on both the hole and electron Fermi surfaces, the magnitude of the gap follows the dist ribution of $d_{yz}$ orbital weight. Furthermore, we theoretically determine the momentum dependence of the superconducting gap by solving the linearized gap equation using a tight binding model which quantitatively describes both the experimental band dispersions and orbital characters. By considering a Fermi surface only including one electron pocket, as observed spectroscopically, we obtain excellent agreement with the experimental gap structure. Our finding of a scaling between the superconducting gap and the $d_{yz}$ orbital weight supports the interpretation of superconductivity mediated by spin-fluctuations in FeSe.
