Cooper instability associated with superconductivity in the two-dimensional semi-Dirac semimetals is attentively studied in the presence of attractive Cooper-pairing interaction, which is the projection of an attractive fermion-fermion…
Conventional topological superconductors are fully gapped in the bulk but host gapless Majorana modes on their boundaries. We instead focus on a new class of superconductors, second-order topological superconductors, that have gapped,…
It has gone almost unquestioned that superexchange in the t-J (or Hubbard) model, and not phonons, is responsible for the unconventional ("d-wave") pairing symmetry of cuprate superconductors. However a number of advanced numerical studies…
A model to describe Cooper pairs near the transition point (on temperature and magnetic field), when the distance between them is big compared to their sizes, is proposed. A superconducting plate whose thickness is less than the pair size…
In superconductors, electrons bound into Cooper pairs conduct a dissipationless current. The strength of the Cooper pairs scales with the value of the critical transition temperature (Tc). In cuprate high-Tc superconductors, however, the…

We analyze symmetries and magnetic properties of Cooper pairs appearing as subdominant pairing correlations in inhomogeneous superconductors, on the basis of the quasiclassical Green-function theory. The frequency symmetry, parity, and the…
When both inversion and time-reversal symmetries are broken, the critical current of a superconductor can be nonreciprocal. In this work we show that in certain classes of two-dimensional superconductors with antisymmetric spin-orbit…
The binding energy of Cooper pairs has been calculated for the case of d-wave symmetry of the superconducting gap in layered cuprate superconductors. We assume that Cooper pairs are formed by the short range potential and then derive the…
Although the standard theory of superconductivity based on the BCS theory is a successful one, several experimental results indicate the necessity for a fundamental revision. We argue that the revision is on the origin of the phase variable…
A new type of Kondo effect peculiar to unconventional superconductors is studied theoretically by using the Wilson's numerical renormalization group method. In this case, an angular momentum of a Cooper pair plays an important role in the…
It is shown that the bipolaron theory of Cooper pairs suggests that there is a possibility for a superconducting phase to exist at low and high levels of doping and be absent at intermediate level of doping. The results obtained imply…
When superconducting pairing occurs between Fermi surfaces with different Chern numbers, the Cooper pairs possess nontrivial pair Berry phase, which enforces pairing gap nodes. The resulting pairing order is further distinguished from the…
Cooper pairs formed by two electrons with different effective masses are common in multiband superconductors, pair density wave states, and other superconducting systems with multiple degrees of freedom. In this paper, we show that there…
We present a theory of optical conductivity in systems with finite-momentum Cooper pairs. In contrast to the BCS pairing where AC conductivity is purely imaginary in the clean limit, there is nonzero AC absorption across the superconducting…
