A promising path to realizing higher superconducting transition temperatures $T_c$ is the strategic engineering of artificial heterostructures. For example, quantum materials could, in principle, be coupled with other materials to produce a…
We develop a finite temperature mean field theory in the path integral picture for an extremely dilute system of interacting Fermions in a plane. In the limit of short ranged interactions, the system is shown to undergo a phase transition…

We propose a simple bose-fermi model in two dimensions, with a coupling that converts pairs of opposite spin fermions into localized bosons and vice versa. We show that tracing out one of the degrees, either the bosons or fermions,…
Pairing between fermions that attract each other, reveal itself to the macroscopic world in the form of superfluidity. Since the discovery of fermionic superfluidity, intense search has been going on to find various unconventional forms of…
Near a quantum critical point (QCP) in a metal, strong Fermion-Fermion interactions mediated by soft collective bosons give rise to two competing phenomena: non-Fermi liquid behavior and superconductivity that deviates from conventional BCS…
Quantum critical behaviors induced by a putative quantum phase transition are vigilantly investigated, which separates a $d$-wave superconducting state and $d$-wave superconducting+$X$ state below the superconducting dome of the $d-$wave…
Using a microscopic approach, we revisit the problem of superconducting critical temperature change in the presence of twin boundaries. We show that both critical temperature enhancement and suppression can come purely from geometric…
In the strong coupling Bose-Einstein Condensation (BEC) regime the superconductors have two characteristic temperatures: $T^*$- onset of fermion pairing and $T_{sc}$- onset of superconductivity, such that $T_{sc}<T^*$. In the present…
We predict a strong enhancement of the critical temperature in a conventional Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) superconductor in the presence of a bosonic condensate of exciton-polaritons. The effect depends strongly on the ratio of the…
The critical temperature of high-$T_c$ superconductors is determined, at least in part, by the electron-phonon coupling. We include the effect of an exchange interaction between the electrons and calculate the renormalization of the bare…
We show that a two-dimensional (2D) spin-polarised Fermi gas immersed in a 3D Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) constitutes a very promising system to realise a $p_x+ip_y$ superfluid. The fermions attract each other via an induced interaction…
Topological phononic insulators are the counterpart of three-dimensional quantum spin Hall insulators in phononic systems and, as such, their topological surfaces are characterized by Dirac cone-shaped gapless edge states arising as a…
We study the interplay between superconductivity and non-Fermi liquid behavior of a Fermi surface coupled to a massless $SU(N)$ matrix boson near the quantum critical point. The presence of thermal infrared singularities in both the…
Fractal metamaterial superconductor geometry has been suggested and analyzed based on the recently developed theoretical description of critical temperature increase in epsilon near zero (ENZ) metamaterial superconductors. Considerable…

A theory of high temperature superconductivity based on the combination of the fermion-condensation quantum phase transition and the conventional theory of superconductivity is presented. This theory describes maximum values of the…
We show that incommensurability can enhance superconductivity in one dimensional quasiperiodic systems with s-wave pairing. As a parent model, we use a generalized Aubry-Andr\'e model that includes quasiperiodic modulations both in the…
Superconductivity and the normal state electrical resistivity which varies as $T^2$ are strongly enhanced near the compressibility and charge density wave instabilities in the electron-positive fermion gas. The additional screening from the…
We investigate the density, current, and spin response functions above the critical temperature for a system of three-dimensional fermions interacting via an attractive short-range potential. In the strong-coupling (bosonic) limit of this…
