The first-order superconducting fluctuation corrections to the thermal conductivity of a granular metal are calculated. A suppression of thermal conductivity proportional to $T_c/(T-T_c)$ is observed in a region not too close to the…
We propose here an experiment aimed to determine whether there are superconducting pairing fluctuations in the pseudogap regime of the high-$T_c$ materials. In the experimental setup, two samples above $T_c$ are brought into contact at a…
We compute the structure of flux $h/(2e)$ vortices in a d-wave superconductor which emerges from a higher temperature pseudogap metal. Such a transition is described by a continuum theory of the Higgs condensation of 2 flavors of charge $e$…
In conventional metal superconductors such as aluminum, the large number of weakly bounded Cooper pairs become phase coherent as soon as they start to form. The cuprate high critical temperature ($T_c$) superconductors, in contrast, belong…
Close to a zero temperature transition between ordered and disordered electronic phases, quantum fluctuations can lead to a strong enhancement of the electron mass and to the emergence of competing phases such as superconductivity. A…
We propose a general theory for the critical $T_c$ and pseudogap $T^*$ temperature dependence on the doping concentration for high-$T_c$ oxides, taking into account the charge inhomogeneities in the $CuO_2$ planes. The well measured…
We report the discovery of a new mechanism of spontaneous generation of a magnetic flux in a superconductor cooled through $T_c$. The sign of the spontaneous flux changes randomly from one cooldown to the next, and follows a Gaussian…
Incommensurate lattice fluctuations are present in the beta_L phase (T_c = 1.5 K) of ET_2I_3 (where ET is BEDT-TTF - bis(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene) but are absent in the beta_H phase (T_c = 7 K). We propose that the disorder in the…
Motivated by a {\it mean field-like} resistive behavior in magnetic fields commonly seen in various superconducting (SC) cuprates and organics with strong fluctuation, {\it quantum} SC fluctuation effects on resistive behaviors are…
At total filling factor $\nu=1$ quantum Hall bilayers can have an ordered ground state with spontaneous interlayer phase coherence. The ordered state is signaled experimentally by dramatically enhanced interlayer tunnel conductances at low…
We observed an enhancement of the $c$-axis differential conductance around the zero-bias in Au$/$Bi$_2$Sr$_2$CaCu$_2$O$_{8+x}$ (Bi2212) junctions near the superconducting transition temperature $T_c$. We attribute the conductance…
Alkali-fulleride superconductors with a maximum critical temperature Tc of 40 K exhibit similar electronic phase diagram with unconventional high-Tc superconductors where the superconductivity resides proximate to a magnetic Mott-insulating…
Due to the interplay of multi-component order parameters (e.g., a twisted bilayer superconductor with inter-layer Josephson coupling or a frustrated ($n\ge 3$)-band superconductor), a superconductor can possess a $U(1)\times \mathbb{Z}_2$…
It is suggested that the center vortex confinement mechanism, familiar in hadronic physics, may have some relevance to high-T$_\text{c}$ phenomena. We focus specifically on the transition from the superconducting phase to the pseudogap…
Two-dimensional superconductors have been realized in various atomically thin films such as the twisted bilayer graphene, some of which are anticipated to involve unconventional pairing mechanism. Due to their low dimensionality,…
Superconductivity at low temperature -- observed in lithium and bismuth, as well as in various low-density superconductors -- calls for developing reliable theoretical and experimental tools for predicting ultralow critical temperatures,…
The pseudogap phenomena in High-$T_{{\rm c}}$ cuprates are investigated on the basis of the Hubbard model which includes only the on-site repulsive interaction $U$. We consider the pairing scenario for the pseudogap. The pseudogap arises…
We study bilayer quantum Hall systems at total Landau level filling factor $\nu=1$ in the presence of interlayer tunneling and coupling to a dissipative normal fluid. Describing the dynamics of the interlayer phase by an effective quantum…
For a superconductor to be able to receive an external magnetic field, there must be a vacant energy state in the superconductor to receive the energy associated with the field. For a small range of energies near that of the critical…
In this brief report an attempt is made for a 'mise-a-point' of the subject of the phase fluctuations of the superconducting order parameter above Tc in cuprates, particularly as they appear in underdoped compounds. Measurements of torque…
