Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The scope and topics of this ICSM conference series have been of special interest throughout the 21st century for the superconductivity and magnetism communities because new energy-saving solutions for electricity grids, transport, metrology, information, communication technologies, quantum materials, and technologies together with healthcare are their most promising potential applications. 

This Special Issue will help to coordinate and strengthen scientific and technological collaborations in the fields of superconductivity and magnetism through a variety of worldwide efforts by covering a variety of focuses ranging from fundamentals, materials, and applications of the various disciplines and viewpoints, assuring that pioneering roles in the fields of the focus sessions of interest are dealt with.

The Special Issue will address the fundamental issues, as well as explore possible novel applications which are important for advances in high technology-related industries, as week as also emerging new disruptive technologies. The ICSM will also contribute to innovation-based growth in the field of superconductivity, aiming to overcome the existing bottlenecks for widespread industrial applications in view of nanotechnologies. The key novel approach related to ICSM is the exploitation of recent spectacular progress in the design and fabrication of nanostructured materials fabricated for lower dimensions, in order to develop and implement such flux and condensate confinement patterns. This will not only substantially improve the material's critical parameters but also lead to novel functionalities of these nano-patterned materials. Due to the advanced dedicated modern technologies needed to produce nanostructured superconductors and magnetic materials, international and interdisciplinary collaboration is essential for successful implementation.

ICSM has become a high-level platform for networking as a bridge between the east and the west. The journal will waive the Article Processing Fees for selected papers presented at ICSM2023. The papers presented in the following 8 mainstreams at the ICSM2023 conference will form the scope and the contents of the Special issue.

  • A: Superconductivity: Materials, Synthesis, and Characterization
  • B: Magnetism: Materials, Synthesis, and Characterization
  • C: Interplay of Superconductivity and Magnetism
  • D: Large Scale and Energy Applications of Superconducting and Magnetic Materials
  • E: Electronic Applications of Superconducting and Magnetic Materials
  • F: Theory, Mechanisms, and Fundamentals
  • G: Cryogenics, Materials, and Engineering
  • H: Quantum Science and Technology

Hubbard Bands and Exotic States in Doped and Undoped Mott Systems: The Kotliar–Ruckenstein Representation
Condens. Matter 2023, 8(3), 75; https://doi.org/10.3390/condmat8030075 - 28 Aug 2023

Abstract
The slave–particle representation is a promising method to treat the properties of exotic strongly correlated systems. We develop a unified approach to describe both the paramagnetic state with possible spin–liquid features and states with strong long-range or short-range magnetic order. Combining the Kotliar–Ruckenstein [...] Read more.
The slave–particle representation is a promising method to treat the properties of exotic strongly correlated systems. We develop a unified approach to describe both the paramagnetic state with possible spin–liquid features and states with strong long-range or short-range magnetic order. Combining the Kotliar–Ruckenstein representation and fractionalized spin–liquid deconfinement picture, the Mott transition and Hubbard subbands are considered. The spectrum in the insulating state is significantly affected by the presence of the spinon spin–liquid spectrum and a hidden Fermi surface. Presenting a modification of the Kotliar–Ruckenstein representation in the spin–wave region, we treat the case of magnetic order, with special attention being paid to the half-metallic ferromagnetic state. The formation of small and large Fermi surfaces for doped current carriers in the antiferromagnetic state is also discussed. Full article

In this paper, we conducted the calculation of the critical current of DC SQUID based on the Josephson junction on a multi-band superconductor with frustration effect. It is shown that the critical current of DC SQUID on the frustrated multi-band superconductor with a small geometrical inductance of the loop is determined by the supercurrent amplitude in different channels and by the external magnetic field. In the case of a DC SQUID with high inductance, frustration effects can be ignored. Full article

Fe-Ga is a promising magnetostrictive rare-earth free alloy with an attractive combination of useful properties. In this review, we consider this material through the lens of its potential use in magnetostrictive applications at elevated frequencies. The properties of the Fe-Ga alloy are compared with other popular magnetostrictive alloys. The two different approaches to reducing eddy current losses for such applications in the context of the Fe-Ga alloy, in particular, the fabrication of thin sheets and Fe-Ga/epoxy composites, are discussed. For the first time, the results of more than a decade of research aimed at developing each of these approaches are analyzed and summarized. The features of each approach, as well as the advantages and disadvantages, are outlined. In general, it has been shown that the Fe-Ga alloy is the most promising magnetostrictive material for use at elevated frequencies (up to 100 kHz) compared to analogs. However, for a wide practical application of the alloy, it is still necessary to solve several problems, which are described in this review. Full article
