We construct a 2+1 dimensional model that sustains superconductivity at all temperatures. This is achieved by introducing a Chern Simons mixing term between two Abelian gauge fields A and Z. The superfluid is described by a complex scalar…

We image local superfluid density in single crystals of Pd-intercalated ErTe$_3$ below the superconducting critical temperature, $T_c$, well below the onset temperature, $T_{CDW}$, of (disordered) charge-density-wave order. We find no…
Cold fermionic atoms are known to enter the universal strongly coupled regime as their scattering length $a$ gets large compared to the inter-particle distances. Recent experimental data provide important critical parameters of such system.…
The emergence of superconductivity in unconventional superconductors usually accompanies the normal-state phases of pseudogap, strange metal and Fermi liquid. It indicates these phases are strongly related to the superconducting state and…
The phase diagram of the unconstrained $t-J$ model is calculated using the random phase approximation. It is found that the extended $s$ and the $d_{x^2-y^2}$-channels are {\em not} degenerate near half filling. Extended $s$-pairing with a…
Superfluids and superconductors are ordinary matter that show a very surprising behavior at low temperatures. As their temperature is reduced, materials of both kinds can abruptly fall into a state in which they will support a persistent,…
We present a systematic study of the response properties of two-band (multi-gap) superconductors with spin-singlet (s-wave) pairing correlations, which are assumed to be caused by both intraband (\lambda_{ii}, i=1,2) and interband…
In scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) conductance curves, the superconducting gap of cuprates is sometimes accompanied by small sub-gap structures at very low energy. This was documented early on near vortex cores and later at zero…
Through a comprehensive free energy analysis, we demonstrate that finite temperature can simultaneously weaken superconductivity and mitigate spin polarization induced depairing, leading to potential non-monotonic temperature-dependent…
Superfluidity and superconductivity are genuine many-body manifestations of quantum coherence. For finite-size systems the associated pairing gap fluctuates as a function of size or shape. We provide a parameter free theoretical description…
Recent measurements on extremely-underdoped YBa2Cu3O6+y [Phys. Rev. Lett. 99, 237003 (2007)] have allowed the critical temperature (T_c), superfluid density [rho_0 (T << T_c)] and dc conductivity [sigma_dc (T ~ T_c)] to be determined for a…

In unconventional superconductors, it is generally believed that understanding the physical properties of the normal state is a pre-requisite for understanding the superconductivity mechanism. In conventional superconductors like niobium or…
