Superconductivity in the t-J model is studied by extending the recently introduced extremely correlated fermi liquid theory. Exact equations for the Greens functions are obtained by generalizing Gor'kov's equations to include extremely…
Superconductivity is a phenomena where an external-feeding current flows through the system without voltage drop. This indicates the existence of an energy minimum under the current feeding boundary condition. Although it is believed that…
It is well established that superconductivity is based on a coherent quantum state of Cooper pairs with charge 2e, and this is equally true of the Josephson effect. In contrast, Kadin recently presented an alternative real-space model of…

Superconducting condensation energy $U_0^{int}$ has been determined by integrating the electronic entropy in various iron pnictide/chalcogenide superconducting systems. It is found that $U_0^{int}\propto T_c^n$ with $n$ = 3 to 4, which is…
