We have analyzed two mechanisms proposed recently for superconductivity in doped SrTiO3 - the plasmon-mediated pairing and the potential of an instantaneous attraction between two electrons that owes its origin to the exchange by…
Doped strontium titanate becomes superconducting at a density as low as n = 5 x 10^17 cm^-3, where the Fermi energy is orders of magnitude smaller than the longitudinal-optical-phonon frequencies. In this limit the only optical mode with a…
We develop a theory of superconducting pairing in low-density Strontium titanate due to quadratic coupling of electron density to soft transverse optical phonons. It leads to static attractive potential between electrons which decay length…
We developed a theory of electric and thermoelectric conductivity of lightly doped SrTiO$_3$ in the non-degenerate region $k_B T \geq E_F$, assuming that the major source of electron scattering is their interaction with soft transverse…
The mechanism of superconductivity in materials with aborted ferroelectricity and the emergence of a dilute metallic phase in systems like doped-SrTiO$_3$ are outstanding issues in condensed matter physics. This dilute metal has features…
Metallic strontium titanate (SrTiO$_3$) is known to have both normal-state and superconducting properties that vary strongly over a wide range of charge carrier densities. This indicates the importance of nonlinear dynamics, and has…
Multi-pulse nonlinear THz spectroscopies enable a new understanding of interacting metallic systems via their sensitivity to novel correlation functions. Here, we investigated the THz nonlinear properties of the dilute metallic phase of…
Cooling oxygen-deficient strontium titanate to liquid-helium temperature leads to a decrease in its electrical resistivity by several orders of magnitude. The temperature dependence of resistivity follows a rough T$^{3}$ behavior before…
Superconductivity of doped SrTiO3 is proven to be a particular case of the broader concept of the non-adiabatic pairing mediated by phonons with frequency comparable or larger the Fermi energy. We argue that, for carrier concentrations…
Electron-doped strontium titanate $\rm{SrTiO_3}$, known to be one of the most dilute superconductors, is investigated on the basis of the first-principles calculations. When the carrier density n decreases, the frequencies of the…
Strontium titanate is a low-temperature, non-Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer superconductor that superconducts to carrier concentrations lower than in any other system and exhibits avoided ferroelectricity at low temperatures. Neither the…
We investigate the effects of strain on superconductivity with particular reference to SrTiO$_3$. Assuming that a ferroelectric mode that softens under tensile strain is responsible for the coupling, an increase in the critical temperature…
The electrical resistivity of Fermi liquids (FLs) displays a quadratic temperature ($T$) dependence because of electron-electron (e-e) scattering. For such collisions to decay the charge current, there are two known mechanisms: inter-band…
Recent experiments on electron- or hole-doped SrTiO$_{3}$ have revealed a hitherto unknown form of superconductivity, where the Fermi energy of the paired electrons is much lower than the energies of the bosonic excitations thought to be…
Electron collisions for a two dimensional Fermi liquid (FL) are shown to give a quasiparticle damping with interesting frequency and temperature variations in the BCS superconducting state. The spin susceptibility which determines the…
Scattering among electrons generates a distinct contribution to electrical resistivity that follows a quadratic temperature dependence. In strongly-correlated electron systems, the prefactor A of this T$^2$ resistivity scales with the…
There are two prerequisites for understanding high-temperature (high-T$_c$) superconductivity: identifying the pairing interaction and a correct description of the normal state from which superconductivity emerges. The nature of the normal…
Thermoelectric energy conversion - the exploitation of the Seebeck effect to convert waste heat into electricity - has attracted an increasing amount of research attention for energy harvesting technology. Niobium-doped strontium titanate…
A possible explanation is given for the anomalous $T^{3/2}$ temperature dependence of the electrical resistivity of MnSi, which is observed in the high-pressure paramagnetic state. The unusual Fermi surface of MnSi includes large open…
Strontium titanate ($\mathrm{SrTiO_3, STO}$) dome-shaped superconducting transition temperature as a function of chemical potential, consistent with STO experiments, and shows that tunable s-wave and d-wave symmetries are modulated by…
