On the coexistence of Landau levels and superconductivity

Pacholski, M.J. (2021)

Doctoral Thesis

In unconventional high temperature superconductors, supercurrent vortices are known to spoil the Landau levels. In this thesis the emergence of Landau levels is studied in different types of superconductors: Weyl superconductors, and the Fu-Kane heterostructure. It is shown that in those materials the zeroth Landau level can withstand the scattering off vortices.
