We develop a theory of a pseudogap state appearing near the superconductor-insulator transition in strongly disordered metals with attractive interaction. We show that such an interaction combined with the fractal nature of the single…
We report a numerical analysis of Anderson localization in a model of a doped semiconductor. The model incorporates the disorder arising from the random spatial distribution of the donor impurities and takes account of the electron-electron…

Employing a quantum Monte Carlo simulation we find a pairing instability in the normal state of the infinite dimensional periodic Anderson model. Superconductivity arises from a normal state in which the screening is protracted and which is…

Disorder-induced Anderson localization in quasiparticle transport is a challenging problem to address, even more so in the presence of dissipation as the symptoms of disorder-induced localization are very closely simulated by the absorption…
