相关论文: The Challenge of Unconventional Superconductivity
It is generally believed that superconducting materials are divided into two classes: `conventional' and `unconventional'. Conventional superconductors (the elements and thousands of compounds including $MgB_2$) are described by…
The theory of hole superconductivity proposes that superconductivity originates in the fundamental electron-hole asymmetry of condensed matter and that it is an 'undressing' transition. Here we propose that a natural consequence of this…
Iron-based superconductors were discovered seven years ago, in 2008. This short review summarizes what we learned about these materials over the last seven years, what are open questions, and what new physics we expect to extract from…
At this centenary of the discovery of superconductivity, the design of new and more useful superconductors remains as enigmatic as ever. These materials play crucial roles both for fundamental science and applications, and they hold great…
High temperature superconductivity in cuprate superconductors remains an unsolved problem in theoretical physics. The same statement can also be made about a number of other superconductors that have been dubbed unconventional. What makes…
Superfluids and superconductors have a common conceptual basis in systems ranging from the lightest to the heaviest.
Electrons/atoms can flow without dissipation at low temperature in superconductors/superfluids. The phenomenon known as superconductivity/superfluidity is one of the most important discoveries of modern physics, and is not only…
We give a brief review of superconductivity at ambient pressure in elements, alloys, and simple three-dimensional compounds. Historically these were the first superconducting materials studied, and based on the experimental knowledge gained…
In recent years, there were a number of experimental developments and discoveries of novel superconducting materials which exhibit multicomponent, many-body degrees of freedom. These superconductors, that are described by several…
Superconducting materials hold great potential to bring radical changes for electric power and high-field magnet technology , enabling high-efficiency electric power generation, high-capacity lossless electric power transmission, small…
On a microscopic scale, resistivity during electric conduction is caused by collisions of the free conduction electrons with the obstructing atoms or molecules of the conductor material, resulting in heat production. Based on this…
We summarize progress in the development and application of metamaterial structures utilizing superconducting elements. After a brief review of the salient features of superconductivity, the advantages of superconducting metamaterials over…
This paper presents a novel theory for understanding the mechanics behind non-conventional superconductors. It presents the hypothesis that non-conventional superconductors are 2D lattices of super-cells and that the superconductivity…
The surprising discovery of superconductivity in layered iron-based materials, with transition temperatures climbing as high as 55 K, has lead to thousands of publications on this subject over the past two years. While there is general…
Many-body systems, such as electrons flowing in a superconductor, are among the most difficult theoretical problems to study. A new family of exactly solvable models may offer some answers.
Iron-based superconductors have received much attention as a new family of high-temperature superconductors owing to their unique properties and distinct differences from cuprates and conventional superconductors. This paper reviews…
The measurement of superconductivity at above 200K in compressed samples of hydrogen sulfide and lanthanum hydride at 250K is reinvigorating the search for conventional high temperature superconductors. At the same time it exposes a…
The high temperature superconductivity in cuprate materials1 has puzzled scientists over twenty years. We must find a new way to understand superconductivity. It is found the spin-charge correlation may dominate the superconductivity2, and…
Attempts to explain correlated-electron superconductivity have largely focused on the proximity of the superconducting state to antiferromagnetism. Yet, there exist many correlated-electron systems that exhibit insulator-superconducting…
