High-temperature superconductivity emerges in a host of different quantum materials, often in a region of the phase diagram where the electronic kinetic energy is comparable in magnitude with the electron-electron Coulomb repulsion.…
Self-consistent theory of electron localization in disordered systems is generalized for the case of interacting electrons. We propose and critically compare a number of possible self-consistency schemes which take into account the lowest…
High transition temperature (high-Tc) superconductivity is associated with layered crystal structures. This work considers superconductivity in ultra-thin crystals (of thickness equal to the transverse structural periodicity distance d for…
We study the flux-driven superconductor-metal transition in ultrasmall cylinders observed experimentally by Liu {\em et.al.}(Science 294, 2332 (2001)). Where $T_c\to 0$, there is a quantum critical point, and a large fluctuation…
Based on experimental results and our previous theoretical work, a microscopic theory of high temperature superconductivity is conjectured. In this conjecture, superconducting and antiferromagnetic long-range orders are driven by interlayer…
Ordinary superconductors are widely assumed insensitive to small concentrations of random nonmagnetic impurities, whereas strong disorder suppresses superconductivity, ultimately leading to a superconductor-insulator transition. In between…
In recent years, quantum phase transitions have attracted the interest of both theorists and experimentalists in condensed matter physics. These transitions, which are accessed at zero temperature by variation of a non-thermal control…
Systems of superconducting islands placed on normal metal films offer tunable realizations of two-dimensional (2D) superconductivity; they can thus elucidate open questions regarding the nature of 2D superconductors and competing states. In…
The effect of disorder is investigated in granular superconductive materials with strong and weak links. The transition is controlled by the interplay of the \emph{tunneling} $g$ and \emph{intragrain} $g_{intr}$ conductances, which depend…
After decades of explorations, suffering from low critical temperature and subtle nature, whether a metallic ground state exists in a two-dimensional system beyond Anderson localization is still a mystery. Supremely, phase coherence could…
Behavior of the Grand thermodynamic potential along with its derivatives, entropy and specific heat, is considered within a two-band model of an unconventional $s_\pm$ superconductor with nonmagnetic impurities. The transition $s_\pm \to…
The mechanism through which superconductivity is destroyed upon controlled disordering often holds the key to understanding the mechanism of emergence of superconductivity. Here we demonstrate an $in$-$situ$ mechanism to control the…
Quantum fluctuations are pivotal in driving quantum phase transitions, exemplified by the quantum melting of Wigner crystals into Fermi liquids in electron systems. However, their impact on superconducting systems near zero temperature,…
The remarkable robustness of high-temperature superconductors against disorder remains a controversial obstacle towards the elucidation of their pairing state. Indeed, experiments report a weak suppression rate of the transition temperature…
Superconductivity is among the most fascinating and well-studied quantum states of matter. Despite over 100 years of research, a detailed understanding of how features of the normal-state electronic structure determine superconducting…
We report on the reinforcement of superconductivity in a system consisting of a narrow superconducting wire weakly coupled to a diffusive metallic film. We analyze the effective phase-only action of the system by a perturbative…
Reasonably good agreement with the superconducting transition temperatures of the cuprate high-Tc superconductors can be obtained on the basis of an approximate phenomenological theory. In this theory, two criteria are used to calculate the…
We quantitatively discuss the influence of quenched disorder on the ferromagnetic quantum phase transition in metals, using a theory that describes the coupling of the magnetization to gapless fermionic excitations. In clean systems, the…
We study the dependence of the superconducting gaps on both the disorder and the temperature within the two-band model for iron-based materials. In the clean limit, the system is in the $s_\pm$ state with the sign-changing gaps. Scattering…
We determine the behavior of the critical temperature of magnetically mediated p-wave superconductivity near a ferromagnetic quantum critical point in three dimensions, distinguishing universal and non-universal aspects of the result. We…
