Apparently, some form of local superconducting pairing persists to temperatures well above the maximum observed $T_c$ in underdoped cuprates, \textit{i.e.} $T_c$ is suppressed due to the small phase stiffness. With this in mind, we consider…

Recent scaling results for the AC conductivity of ionic glasses by Roling et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. vol 78, 2160 (1997)] and Sidebottom [Phys. Rev. Lett. vol 82, 3653 (1999)] are discussed. It is shown that Sidebottom's version of scaling is…

We argue that the superconducting state found in high-$T_c$ cuprates is inhomogeneous with a corresponding inhomogeneous superfluid density. We introduce two classes of microscopic models which capture the magnetic and superconducting…
25 years after discovery of high-temperature superconductivity (HTSC) in La$_{2-x}$Ba$_x$CuO$_4$ (LBCO), the HTSC continues to pose some of the biggest challenges in materials science. Cuprates are fundamentally different from conventional…
We consider the BCS energy gap $\Xi(T)$ (essentially given by $\Xi(T) \approx \Delta(T, \sqrt\mu)$, the BCS order parameter) at all temperatures $0 \le T \le T_c$ up to the critical one, $T_c$, and show that, in the limit of weak coupling,…
