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.

Properties of Blue Phosphorene Nanoribbon-P3HT Polymer Heterostructures: DFT First Principles Calculations

  • Benita Turiján-Clara,
  • Julián D. Correa,
  • Miguel E. Mora-Ramos and
  • Carlos A. Duque

Recently, 2D phosphorus allotropes have arisen as possible candidates for technological applications among the family of the so-called Xene layered materials. In particular, the energy band structure of blue phosphorene (BP) exhibits a medium-size se...
