Electronic quantum effects in disordered conductors are controlled by the dephasing rate of conduction electrons. This rate is expected to vanish with the temperature. We consider the very intriguing recently reported apparent saturation of…
We develop a consistent treatment of disorder effects in strong coupling superconductors. We use two different approaches, starting either from above or below the transition temperature, and show their equivalence. The normal state approach…

We investigate the single normal impurity effect in a superconductor by the holographic method. When the size of impurity is much smaller than the host superconductor, we can reproduce the Anderson theorem, which states that a conventional…
