We study electron propagation in a molecular lattice model. Each molecular site involves doubly degenerate electronic states coupled to doubly degenerate molecular vibration, leading to a so--called E-e type of Jahn-Teller Hamiltonian. For…
When wavefunction of crystal was projected out in atomic basis, we found that electrons of s orbital had localization-delocalization duality, and the ones of p and d orbital were only localized in three dimensional crystal lattice. The…
The BCS theory models electron correlations with pure zero-momentum pairs. Here we consider a family of pairing Hamiltonians, where the electron correlations are modelled with pure arbitrary-momentum pairs. We find all models in the family…
The possibility of non-s-wave superconductivity induced by phonons is investigated using a simple model that is inspired by Sr$_2$RuO$_4$. The model assumes a two-dimensional electronic structure, a two-dimensional spin-fluctuation…
The elementary CuO2 plane sustaining cuprate high-temperature superconductivity occurs typically at the base of a periodic array of edge-sharing CuO5 pyramids. Virtual transitions of electrons between adjacent planar Cu and O atoms,…
Topological superconductors support Majorana modes, which are quasiparticles that are their own antiparticles and which obey non-Abelian statistics in which successive exchanges of particles do not always commute. Here we investigate…
We extend the standard effective model of d-wave superconductivity of a single band tight-binding Hamiltonian with nearest-neighbor attraction to include finite range periodically modulated pair-hopping. The pair-hopping is characterized by…
We consider a problem of superconductivity coexistence with the spin-density-wave order in disordered multiband metals. It is assumed that random variations of the disorder potential on short length scales render the interactions between…
We introduce and solve a model of interacting electrons and phonons that is a natural generalization of the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev-model and that becomes superconducting at low temperatures. In the normal state two Non-Fermi liquid fixed points…

The two-dimensional Hubbard model exhibits superconductivity with d-wave symmetry even at half-filling in the presence of next-nearest neighbor hopping. Using plaquette cluster dynamical mean-field theory with a continuous-time quantum…
A pair-density-wave (PDW) is a novel superconducting state with an oscillating order parameter. A microscopic mechanism that can give rise to it has been long sought but has not yet been established by any controlled calculation. Here we…
We study a possible superconductivity in quasiperiodic systems, by portraying the issue within the attractive Hubbard model on a Penrose lattice. Applying a real-space dynamical mean-field theory to the model consisting of 4181 sites, we…
I present a microscopic theory I proposed recently to describe high-T_c superconductivity in cuprates. I show that coherent pairing states consisting of extended singlet Cooper pairs and triplet $\pi$ pairs can manifest both the Mott…

The damaging effect of strong electron-electron repulsion on regular, electron-phonon %$s$-wave superconductivity is a standard tenet. In spite of that, an increasing number of compounds such as fullerides and more recently alkali-doped…
Here we use angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy to study superconductivity that emerges in two extreme cases, from a Fermi liquid phase (LiFeAs) and an incoherent bad-metal phase (FeTe0.55Se0.45). We find that although the electronic…
