Many compounds based on CuO_2 planes (cuprates) super-conduct below a critical temperature Tc. Some of them show a second phase where a spontaneous static magnetic field appears below a critical temperature Tg, which is lower then Tc. By…
The emerging field of phase-coherent caloritronics (from the Latin word "calor", i.e., heat) is based on the possibility to control heat currents using the phase difference of the superconducting order parameter. The goal is to design and…
Thermal conductivity $\kappa_{xx}(T)$ under a field is investigated in $d_{x^2-y^2}$-wave superconductors and isotropic s-wave superconductors by the linear response theory, using a microscopic wave function of the vortex lattice states. To…
We report on the interplay of localized and extended degrees of freedom in the metallic state of high-temperature superconductors in a multiband setting. Various ways in which the bare magnetic response may become incommensurate are…
We derive a method to study the phase diagram for high temperature superconductors (HTCS). Our starting point is the Hubbard Hamiltonian with a weak attractive interaction to obtain the formation of bound pairs. We consider this attractive…
The first study of thermal conductivity, $\kappa$, in a quasi-two-dimensional organic superconductor of the $\kappa$-(BEDT-TTF)$_2$X family reveals features analogous to those already observed in the cuprates. The onset of superconductivity…
The enigma of unconventional superconductivity in doped cuprates presents a formidable challenge in the realm of condensed matter physics. Recent findings of strong near-neighbor attractions in one-dimensional cuprate chains suggest a new…
Cuprates, ferropnictides and ferrochalcogenides are three classes of unconventional high-temperature superconductors, who share similar phase diagrams in which superconductivity develops after a magnetic order is suppressed, suggesting a…
It has been now over 20 years since the discovery of the first high temperature superconductor by Georg Bednorz and Alex Mueller in 1986 and yet, despite intensive effort, no universally accepted theory exists about the origin of…
It is argued that the dominant feature of the phase diagram of the high $T_c$ cuprates is the crossover to the pseudogap phase in the energy (temperature) region $E (T^*)$. We argue that this scale is determined by the effective…
The theory of hole superconductivity proposes that MgB_2, and the high Tc cuprates, and the 'conventional superconductors', and all other superconductors, are driven by the same physical mechanism, which is not the electron-phonon…
Scaling laws express a systematic and universal simplicity among complex systems in nature. For example, such laws are of enormous significance in biology. Scaling relations are also important in the physical sciences. The seminal 1986…
Novel superconducting compounds such as the high Tc oxides are intrinsically inhomogeneous systems. An inhomogeneous structure is created by doping and the statistical nature of the distribution of dopants. Consequently, the critical…
While it is known that the amplification of the superconducting critical temperature Tc is possible in a system of multiple electronic components in comparison with a single component system, many different road maps for room temperature…
Scaling relations between the superconducting transition temperature $T_{\rm c}$, the superfluid stiffness $\rho_{\rm s}$ and the normal state conductivity $\sigma_0(T_{\rm c})$ are identified within the class of molecular superconductors.…
Thermal behaviour of superconductors with complex order parameter symmetry is studied within a weak coupling theory. It is shown numerically, that the thermal nature of the different components of complex order parametrs are qualitatively…

In the last years ample experimental evidence has shown that charge carriers in high-temperature superconductors are strongly correlated but also coupled with lattice vibrations (phonons), signaling that the true origin of high-Tc…
The main purpose of the paper is to present an overview of the current situation in the development of understanding of the mechanism of high-Tc superconductivity which arises due to moderately strong, nonlinear electron-phonon interactions…
