As the most successful microscopic superconductivity theory, Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer(BCS) theory has a very peculiar prediction: at zero temperature, only a fraction of electrons within an energy shell form Cooper pair and condense, but…

A scaling relation \rho_s \simeq 35\sigma_{dc}T_c has been observed in the copper-oxide superconductors, where \rho_s is the strength of the superconducting condensate, T_c is the critical temperature, and \sigma_{dc} is the normal-state dc…
