Pairing occurs in conventional superconductors through a reduction of the electronic potential energy accompanied by an increase in kinetic energy, indicating that the transition is driven by a pairing potential. In the underdoped cuprates,…

The single-site two-electron exchange amplitude J_sd between the Cu 4s and Cu 3d_{x^2-y^2} states is found to be the pairing mechanism of high-T_c overdoped cuprates. The noninteracting part of the Hamiltonian spans the copper Cu 4s, Cu…

In Part I of this paper a modified BCS mechanism of Cooper pair formation was proposed. The present Part III gives a physical interpretation of this mechanism in terms of spin-flipping processes in superconducting bands.

The state of a system in classical mechanics can be uniquely reconstructed if we know the positions and the momenta of all its parts. In 1958 Pauli has conjectured that the same holds for quantum mechanical systems. The conjecture turned…

Cooper pairing and Coulomb repulsion are antagonists, producing distinct energy gaps in superconductors and Mott insulators. When a superconductor exchanges unpaired electrons with a quantum dot, its gap is populated by a pair of…

We investigate the role the interweaving of surface vibrations and nucleon motion has on Cooper pair formation in spherical superfluid nuclei. A quantitative calculation of the state-dependent pairing gap requires to go beyond the…

The upper critical field $H_{c2}(T)$ of the tight-binding electrons in the three-dimensional lattice is investigated. The electrons make Cooper pairs between the eigenstates with the same energy in the strong magnetic field. The transition…

We propose that a necessary condition of decrease of entropy in isolated system is existence of internal interactions. Then a theoretical development and some possible examples on decrease of entropy are researched. In quantum region, in…

We have rigorously shown that a strong Hubbard repulsion can cause superconductivity. The model, which has a particular set of local symmetries, manifests the phase diagram of many unconventional superconductors; anti-ferromagnetism…

Pauli's exclusion principle has a strong impact on the properties of most fermionic quantum systems. Remarkably, the fermionic exchange symmetry implies further constraints on the one-particle picture. By exploiting those generalized Pauli…

We analyze critical and massive SO(5) superspin regimes for correlated electrons on a two-chain ladder. We identify fundamental low energy excitations, which carry the quantum numbers of a free electron, and can be probed in (inverse)…

Motivated by recent advances in the creation of few-body atomic Fermi gases with attractive interactions, we study theoretically the few-to-many-particle crossover of pair excitations, which for large particle numbers evolve into a mode…

We study an exchange coupled system of itinerant electrons and localized fermion pairs resulting in a resonant pairing formation. This system inherently contains resonating fermion pairs on bonds which lead to a superconducting phase…

The properties of the d-wave superconducting state in the two-dimensional system have been studied. It has been assumed, that the pairing mechanism is based on the electron-phonon and the electron-electron-phonon interactions. The obtained…
