In this paper the fundamental parameters of high-$T_c$ superconductivity are shown to be connected to the statistics of pairons (hole pairs in their antiferromagnetic environment) on a square lattice. In particular, we study the density…
We describe and discuss the low-temperature resistivity (and the temperature-dependent inelastic scattering rate) of several different doped 2D semiconductor systems from the perspective of the Planckian hypothesis asserting that…

It is known that some (BEDT-TTF)2X layered organic superconductors undergo a glassy transition near 80 K. Our purpose is to exploit quenched disorder to get new insights on both the superconducting state (T < 12 K) and the glassy transition…

A major puzzle in understanding high-$T_{\rm c}$ superconductivity is the microscopic origin of the linear-in-temperature ($T$-linear) resistivity in the strange metal state, which persists up to very high temperatures. Implicit to existing…
In the paper, we study the thermodynamic and electromagnetic properties of the Penson-Kolb (PK) model, i.e., the tight-binding model for fermionic particles with the pair-hopping interaction $J$. We focus on the case of repulsive $J$ (i.e.,…
Starting from a spin-fermion model for the cuprate superconductors, we obtain an effective interaction for the charge carriers by integrating out the spin degrees of freedom. Our model predicts a quantum critical point for the…
The relation between pseudogap (PG) and superconducting (SC) gap, whether PG is a precursor of SC or they coexist or compete, is a long-standing controversy in cuprate high-temperature supercondutors. Here, we report ultrafast time-resolved…
One of the keys to the high-temperature superconductivity puzzle is the identification of the energy scales associated with the emergence of a coherent condensate of superconducting electron pairs. These might provide a measure of the…
The dynamical balance of the pairing term plays a crucial role in the emergence of topological superconductivity in the p-wave spinless Kitaev chain, particularly in the non-Hermitian regime. In this work, we systematically investigate the…
