In underdoped cuprates, T_c is thought to be determined by Cooper pair phase fluctuations because of the small superfluid density n_s. Experimentally, T_c is found to scale with n_s. The fluctuation-exchange approximation (FLEX) in its…
Superconducting transitions are driven by thermal fluctuations close to the transition temperature, Tc. These fluctuations are averaged out in global measurements, leaving imprints on susceptibility and resistance measurements. Here, we use…
