The charge on a conducting cylinder becomes uniformly distributed at large aspect ratios, albeit very slowly and with nonuniformity persisting near the ends. We show that the charge density and field magnitude are enhanced near the ends by…
We consider the realistic case of a superconductor with a nonzero density of elastic scatterers, so that the normal state conductivity is finite. The quantum superconductor-metal (QSM) transition can then be tuned by varying either the…

We investigate a simple explanation for the high maximum gap to $T_{c}$ ratio found experimentally in high $T_{c}$ compounds. We ascribe this observation to the lowering of $T_{c}$ by boson scattering of electrons between parts of the Fermi…

Supercooled liquids are characterized by relaxation times that increase dramatically by cooling or compression. Many liquids have been shown to obey power-law density scaling, according to which the relaxation time is a function of density…
We consider the scaling behavior in the critical domain of superconductors at zero external magnetic field. The first part of the paper is concerned with the Ginzburg-Landau model in the zero magnetic field Meissner phase. We discuss the…
Central to the normal state of cuprate high-temperature superconductors is the collapse of the pseudogap, briefly reviewed here, at a critical point and the subsequent onset of the strange-metal characterized by a resistivity that scales…
We propose a statistical mechanical framework to unify the observed relationship between the superconducting energy gap $\Delta$, the pseudogap $\Delta^\ast$, and the critical temperature $T_\mathrm{c}$. In this model, fermions couple as a…
Recently it was revealed that the whole Fermi surface is fully gapped for several families of underdoped cuprates. The existence of the finite energy gap along the $d$-wave nodal lines ("nodal gap") contrasts the common understanding of the…
Recent experiments indicate that the excitation spectrum of the cuprates is characterised, in the superconducting state, by two energy scales: the ``coherence energy'' \Delta_c and the ``pseudogap'' \Delta_p. Here we consider a simple…
