We suggest possibility of Dicke superradiance in superconductors. The necessary 2-level atoms are identified with Anderson pseudo spins in k-space, seeing a k-dependent self consistent mean field. A way to couple these 2-level bose atoms to…
The ideal Bose gas has two major shortcomings: at zero temperature, all the particles 'condense' at zero energy or momentum, thus violating the Heisenberg principle; the second is that the pressure below the critical point is independent of…
A simplified model of c axis transport in the high T_c superconductors is presented. Expressions are found for the c axis optical conductivity, the d.c. resistivity, and the c axis penetration depth. Within the framework of this model, the…
We present a pairing fluctuation theory which self-consistently incorporates finite momentum pair excitations in the context of BCS--Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) crossover, and we apply this theory to high $T_c$ superconductors and…
This article reviews the current status of precursor superconducting phase fluctuations as a possible mechanism for pseudogap formation in high-temperature superconductors. In particular we compare this approach which relies on the…
The mutual interaction between Cooper pairs is proposed as a mechanism for the superconducting state. Above $T_c$, pre-existing but fluctuating Cooper pairs give rise to the unconventional {\it pseudogap} (PG) state, well-characterized by…
Variational method is applied to describe Bose-Einstein condensates (BEC) interacting via a pseudo-potential, taking into account quantum fluctuations around the mean field by the Gaussian approximation. Contributions from the pair-wise…
We study the superfluidity of a spin-orbit coupled Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) by computing its Bogoliubov excitations, which are found to consist of two branches: one is gapless and phonon-like at long wavelength; the other is typically…
Superconductivity is a remarkably widespread phenomenon observed in most metals cooled down to very low temperatures. The ubiquity of such conventional superconductors, and the wide range of associated critical temperatures, is readily…
The recent discovery of Ising superconductivity has garnered a lot of interest due in part to the resilience of these superconductors to large in-plane magnetic fields. In this Perspective we explain the basic concepts that define the…
Pseudogap formation is an ubiquitous phenomena in strongly-correlated superconductors, for example cuprates, heavy-fermion superconductors, and iron pnictides. As the system is cooled, an energy gap opens in the excitation spectrum before…
We predict the loss of superfluidity in a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) trapped in a combined optical and axially-symmetric harmonic potentials during a resonant collective excitation initiated by a periodic modulation of the atomic…
Superconductivity of some compounds may be explained as resulting from Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) of atomic electron pairs of divalent atoms or electron pairs of diatomic molecules made up of univalent atoms. "Artificial"…
We studied the temperature dependences of the optical spectra for optimally and underdoped Bi$_2$Sr$_2$Ca$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{10+z}$ single crystals. Similarly to the other cuprates' cases, a gap-like conductivity suppression was observed with…
Soon after the discovery of the first high temperature superconductor by Georg Bednorz and Alex Mueller in 1986 the late Sir Nevill Mott answering his own question "Is there an explanation?" [Nature v 327 (1987) 185] expressed a view that…
A self-consistent model of the superfluid (SF) state of a Bose liquid with strong interaction between bosons is considered, in which at T=0, along with a weak single-particle Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC), there exists an intensive pair…
In the strong coupling Bose-Einstein Condensation (BEC) regime the superconductors have two characteristic temperatures: $T^*$- onset of fermion pairing and $T_{sc}$- onset of superconductivity, such that $T_{sc}<T^*$. In the present…
A number of observations point to the possibility that high-Tc cuprate superconductors may not be conventional Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) superconductors, but rather derive from the Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) of real-space pairs,…
We consider two interacting Bose-Einstein condensates (BEC's) with different kind of the potential energy of interaction of the condensates: (a) the standard potential; (b) the potential has a positive three-body and a negative two-body…
We study the superconducting transition in a two-dimensional electron gas with strong Rashba spin-orbit coupling. We assume low electron density, such that only the majority spin band participates in the transition. We show that the…
