We investigate plasma oscillations in long electromagnetically coupled superconducting nanowires. We demonstrate that in the presence of inter-wire coupling plasma modes in each of the wires get split into two "new" modes propagating with different velocities across the system. These plasma modes form an effective dissipative quantum environment interacting with electrons inside both wires and causing a number of significant implications for low temperature behavior of the systems under consideration.

Abstract The GoogLeNet model can completely split the overlapped phase transitions in the superconducting nanowire arrays under Josephson interaction. In the presence of the phase fluctuations in superconducting nanowires array, the electrical resistance of the superconducting nanowires is always non-zero unless the system undergoes Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) transition where the superconducting vortices and anti-vortices form pairs. The two-dimensional XY model can mimic the superconducting transition temperature Tc and the BKT transition temperature TBKT by observing the heat capacity anomalies upon cooling. If the Josephson coupling across the nanowires is strong, the heat capacity anomalies almost overlap with each other so that the traditional curve-fitting techniques are difficult to completely distinguish between the Tc and the TBKT. To solve this issue, we apply an artificial-intelligence technique to completely split the overlapped heat capacity anomalies. After the GoogLeNet-assisted phase transition detector is built, the GoogLeNet model can learn from the features of the phase transitions and then interpret the Tc and TBKT in the ‘unseen’ system precisely. Our work opens a path for the GoogLeNet model to enter the world of superconductivity.

The fabrication and characterization of superconducting nanowires fabricated by the anodic aluminium oxide (AAO) template technique has been reviewed. This templating method was applied to conventional metallic superconductors, as well as to several high-temperature superconductors (HTSc). For filling the templates with superconducting material, several different techniques have been applied in the literature, including electrodeposition, sol-gel techniques, sputtering, and melting. Here, we discuss the various superconducting materials employed and the results obtained. The arising problems in the fabrication process and the difficulties concerning the separation of the nanowires from the templates are pointed out in detail. Furthermore, we compare HTSc nanowires prepared by AAO templating and electrospinning with each other, and give an outlook to further research directions.

AbstractRapid miniaturization of electronic devices and circuits demands profound understanding of fluctuation phenomena at the nanoscale. Superconducting nanowires – serving as important building blocks for such devices – may seriously suffer from fluctuations which tend to destroy long-range order and suppress superconductivity. In particular, quantum phase slips (QPS) proliferating at low temperatures may turn a quasi-one-dimensional superconductor into a resistor or an insulator. Here, we introduce a physical concept of QPS-controlled localization of Cooper pairs that may occur even in uniform nanowires without any dielectric barriers being a fundamental manifestation of the flux-charge duality in superconductors. We demonstrate – both experimentally and theoretically – that deep in the “insulating” state such nanowires actually exhibit non-trivial superposition of superconductivity and weak Coulomb blockade of Cooper pairs generated by quantum tunneling of magnetic fluxons across the wire.
