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…
According to [M.A. Tanatar et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 95, 067002 (2005)], in a multi-band d-wave superconductor CeCoIn5 electrons remain partially uncondensed. Interactions must induce superconducting order on all Fermi surfaces. We calculate…
The quasiparticles in the normal state of cuprate superconductors have been shown to behave universally as a 3-dimensional Fermi liquid. Because of interactions and the presence of the Fermi surfaces (or Fermi energies), the quasiparticle…
We consider serious conceptual problems with the application of standard perturbation theory, in its zero temperature version, to the computation of the dressed Fermi surface for an interacting electronic system. In order to overcome these…
A detailed analysis is given of the T^2 term in the resistivity observed in electron-doped SrTiO3. Novel bandstructure data are presented, which provide values for the bare mass, density of states, and plasma frequency of the quasiparticles…
A free Fermi gas has, famously, a superconducting susceptibility that diverges logarithmically at zero temperature. In this paper we ask whether this is still true for a Fermi liquid and find that the answer is that it does {\it not}. From…
These lectures present the Fermi-liquid theory of superconductivity, which is applicable to a broad range of systems that are candidates for non-s wave pairing, {\it e.g.} the heavy fermions, organic metals and the CuO superconductors.…
The Fermi surfaces of Fe-pnictide superconductors are fairly two-dimensional (2D), and it has thus come as a surprise that recent penetration depth and thermal conductivity measurements on systems of the 122 type have reported c-axis…
Because the normal state of underdoped cuprate superconductors is an enigmatic Fermi-arc metal, it is valuable to analyze an exactly solvable model that exhibits both Fermi arcs and $d$-wave superconductivity. Here, we focus on a recently…
These lectures serve as an introduction to the renormalization group approach to effective field theories, with emphasis on systems with a Fermi surface. For such systems, demanding appropriate scaling with respect to the renormalization…
We analytically study the inelastic lifetime of quasiparticles due to particle-particle interactions in a three-dimensional Fermi liquid approaching a density-wave instability. Using the G$_0$W approximation, we find that the softening of…
We investigate the universal electronic transport for a mixed $d_{x^2-y^2}$+s-wave superconductor in the presence of an anisotropic elliptical Fermi surface. Similar to the universal low-temperature transport predicted in a…
Gapless nodal quasiparticles emerge at a low-energy regime of high-$T_c$ cuprate superconductors due to the $d_{x^2 - y^2}$ gap symmetry. We study the unusual renormalizations of the Fermi velocity $v_F$ and gap velocity $v_{\Delta}$ of…
We study superconductivity in a two-dimensional, disordered marginal Fermi liquid. At the semiclassical level, the transition temperature $T_c$ is strongly suppressed because marginal Fermi liquid effects destroy well-defined…
High-temperature superconductivity occurs as copper oxides are chemically tuned to have a carrier concentration intermediate between their metallic state at high doping and their insulating state at zero doping. The underlying evolution of…
Motivated by a recent experimental observation of a nodal liquid on both single crystals and thin films of Bi$_2$Sr$_2$CaCu$_2$O$_{8+\delta}$ by Chatterjee \emph{et al.} [Nature Physics \textbf{6}, 99 (2010)], we perform a field-theoretical…
Developing a theoretical framework for conducting electronic fluids qualitatively distinct from those described by Landau's Fermi-liquid theory is of central importance to many outstanding problems in condensed matter physics. One such…
The anisotropic superconductivity and the density wave have been investigated by applying the Kadanoff-Wilson renormalization group technique to the quasi-one-dimensional system with finite-range interactions. It is found that a temperature…
We develop a quasi-classical theory for the superconducting proximity effect in a ballistic ferromagnetic layer in contact with a d-wave superconductor. In agreement with recent experiments we find that the density of states oscillate…
