Cover Story: We discuss the proposal that the occurrence of filamentary superconductivity may be related to competition with charge density waves. We provide a brief summary of two paradigmatic classes of materials that support our argument, namely transition metal dichalcogenides and cuprates superconductors. We use a simple Ginzburg–Landau model as a starting point to address this idea. We finally discuss the outcomes of a more sophisticated model from the literature that encodes the presence of impurities and how it can be further improved in order to address the interplay between charge density waves and superconductivity and the possible occurrence of filamentary superconductivity at the domain walls between different charge-ordered regions.

Despite the interest in copper clusters, a consensus on their atomic structure is still lacking. The experimental observation of isolated clusters is difficult, and theoretical predictions vary widely. The latter is because one must adequately descri...
