Quasiparticle Pattern of Phenomena in Exotic Superconductors

Abstract

The quasiparticle formalism invented by Lev Landau for description of conventional Fermi liquids is generalized to exotic superconductivity attributed to Cooper pairing, whose measured properties defy explanation within the standard BCS-Fermi Liquid description. We demonstrate that in such systems the quasiparticle number remains equal to particle number, just as in common Fermi liquids. We are then able to explain the puzzling relationship between the variation with doping xx of two key properties of the family La2x_{2-x}Srx_xCu04_4 of exotic superconductors, namely the T=0T=0 superfluid density ρs0(x)\rho_{s0}(x) and the coefficient A1(x)A_1(x) in the linear-in-TT component of the normal-state low-TT resistivity ρ(T)=ρ0+A1T+A2T2\rho(T)=\rho_0+A_1T+A_2T^2, in terms of the presence of interaction-induced flat bands in the ground states of these metals.
