We present a calculation of the low frequency optical conductivity of a superconductor in the presence of quenched inhomogeneity in both the superfluid and normal fluid densities. We find that inhomogeneity in the superfluid density…
The local density of states (LDOS) and its Fourier component induced by a unitary impurity in a supercurrent-carrying d-wave superconductor are investigated. Both of these quantities possess a reflection symmetry about the line passing…
We discuss the low-frequency absorption arising from quenched inhomogeneity in the superfluid density rho_s of a model superconductor. Such inhomogeneities may arise in a high-T_c superconductor from a wide variety of sources, including…
We argue that recent measurements on both the superfluid density and the optical conductivity of high-quality LSCO films can be understood almost entirely within the theory of disordered BCS d-wave superconductors. The large scattering…
Coherent time-domain spectroscopy is used to measure the screening and dissipation of high-frequency electromagnetic fields in a set of underdoped Bi_2Sr_2CaCu_2O_8+d thin films. The measurements provide direct evidence for a…
We explore correlations of inhomogeneous local density of states (LDoS) for impure superconductors with different symmetries of the order parameter (s-wave and d-wave) and different types of scatterers (elastic and magnetic impurities). It…
The interplay of superconductivity and disorder generates a wealth of complex phenomena. In particular, the peculiar structure of diffusive electronic wavefunctions is predicted to increase the superconducting critical temperature in some…
We study the effect of fluctuations on the {\bf ac} conductivity of a layered superconductor both for $c$-axis and $ab$-plane electromagnetic wave polarizations. The fluctuation contributions of different physical nature and signs…
Nanoscale inhomogeneity seems to be a central feature of the d-wave superconductivity in the cuprates. Such a feature can strongly affect the local density of states (LDOS) and the spectral weight functions. Within the Bogoliubov-de Gennes…
We investigate the microwave absorption arising from inhomogeneity in the superfluid density of a model high-T_c superconductor. Such inhomogeneities may arise from a wide variety of sources, including quenched random disorder and static…
We study theoretically the optical conductivity of d-wave superconductors like in high temperature cuprates in the presence of impurities. We limit ourselves at T=0K and focus on the frequency dependence of both sigma_1(omega) and…
We present a detailed analysis of the superconductivity-induced redistribution of optical spectral weight in Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8 near optimal doping. It confirms the previous conclusion by Molegraaf et al. (Science 66, 2239 (2002)), that the…
We report a systematic study of the dynamic microwave conductivity near $T_c$ for La$_{2-x}$Sr$_x$CuO$_4$ (LSCO) thin films with $x$=0.07 to 0.16. The strong frequency dependence of the phase stiffness together with scaling analysis of the…
A theory of dissipative nonlinear conductivity, $\sigma_1(\omega,H)$, of s-wave superconductors under strong electromagnetic fields at low temperatures is proposed. Closed-form expressions for $\sigma_1(H)$ and the surface resistance…
We study the effect of dissipation on quantum phase fluctuations in d-wave superconductors. Dissipation, arising from a nonzero low frequency optical conductivity which has been measured in experiments below $T_c$, has two effects: (1) a…
Fluctuating superconductivity - vestigial Cooper pairing in the resistive state of a material - is usually associated with low dimensionality, strong disorder or low carrier density. Here, we report single particle spectroscopic,…
The distribution in frequency of optical spectral weight remaining under the real part of the optical conductivity in the superconducting state of a d-wave superconductor depends on impurity concentration, on the strength of the impurity…
In this paper we analyze, using scanning tunneling spectroscopy, the density of electronic states in nearly optimally doped BSCCO in zero field. Focusing on the superconducting gap, we find patches of what appear to be two different phases…
The tunneling spectrum of an inhomogeneously doped extended Hubbard model is calculated at the mean field level. Self-consistent solutions admit both superconducting and antiferromagnetic order, which coexist inhomogeneously because of…
Overdoped high-temperature cuprate superconductors have been widely believed to be described by the physics of d-wave BCS-like superconductivity. However, recent measurements indicate that as the doping is increased, the superfluid density…
