A superconductor is a material that can conduct electricity with no resistance below its critical temperature (Tc). The highest Tc that has been achieved in cuprates1 is 133 K at ambient pressure2 and 164 K at high pressures3. As the nature…
The discovery of a record high superconducting transition temperature (Tc) of 288 K in a pressurized hydride inspires new hope to realize ambient condition superconductivity. Here, we give a perspective on the theoretical and experimental…
Research on high-$T_c$ superconductors has generally not focused on analysis of the topological structure of electronic bands in these materials. In this article we collate and discuss several well-known experimental observables that signal…
We show from a bond valence sum correlation that very high superconducting $ T_{c} $ values should be found in optimally hole-doped infinite-layer ACuO$ _{2} $ cuprates - up to 160~K for A = Ba. The projected increase in $ T_{c} $ across…
Quantum systems are open, continually exchanging energy and information with the surrounding environment. This interaction leads to decoherence and decay of quantum states. In complex systems, formed by many particles, decay can become…
Motivated by the recent experiment of the non-BCS scaling relation of the condensation energy $\Delta CE$ vs. $T_c$ ($\Delta CE \sim T_c ^{\beta}, \beta\approx 3.5$) [PRB 89 140503 (2014)] for the Fe-based superconductors, we studied the CE…
High-temperature superconductivity confined to nanometer-size interfaces has been a long standing goal because of potential applications^{1,2} and the opportunity to study quantum phenomena in reduced dimensions^{3,4}. However, this is a…
High-Tc superconductivity in layered cuprates is described in a BCS-BEC formalism with linearly-dispersive s- and d-wave Cooper pairs moving in quasi-2D finite-width layers about the CuO_2 planes. This yields a closed formula for Tc…
The doping dependence of the superfluid density, r_s, of high-Tc superconductors is usually considered in the context of the Uemura relation, namely Tc proportional to rs, which is generally assumed to apply in the underdoped regime. We…
The concept of interface superconductivity was introduced over 50 years ago. Some of the greatest physicists of that time wondered whether a quasi-two-dimensional (2D) superconductor can actually exist, what are the peculiarities of 2D…
Unconventional superconductivity remains one of the central unsolved problems in quantum materials, and revealing its connection to the normal state is widely believed to be key to uncovering the pairing mechanism. Previous efforts have…
The problems of participation of crystal chemical factors in creating of conditions to occurrence of a superconducting state in layered superconductors are considered. On the basis of the experimental data, given in the literature, new…
Strongly correlated amorphous solids are a class of glass-formers whose inter-particle potential admits an approximate inverse power-law form in a relevant range of inter-particle distances. We study the steady-state plastic flow of such…
The response of a many body system to a time dependent coupling which passes through or approaches a critical point displays universal scaling behavior. In some regimes, scaling laws have been known since the 1970's. Recently holographic…
We discover a universal scaling law for the quasiparticle Nernst coefficient in underdoped cuprates, whose magnitude decreases exponentially with increasing temperature as confirmed in YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_y$. We attribute it to the basic…
High temperature superconductors have in common that they consist of parallel planes of copper oxide separated by layers whose composition can vary. Being ceramics, the cuprate superconductors are poor conductors above the transition…
Theoretically, we recently showed that the scaling relation between the transition temperature T_c and the superfluid density at zero temperature n_s (0) might exhibit a parabolic pattern [Scientific Reports 6 (2016) 23863]. It is…
In this paper we address the question of whether high-temperature superconductors have anything in common with BCS-BEC crossover theory. Towards this goal, we present a proposal and related predictions which provide a concrete test for the…
By drilling periodic thru-holes in a suspended film, the phonon system can be modified. Being motivated by the BCS theory, the technique, so-called phonon engineering, was applied to a niobium sheet. The newly emergent high-$T_{c}$…
We apply scaling and the theory of the fundamental limits of the second-order molecular susceptibility to identify material classes with ultralarge nonlinear-optical response. Size effects are removed by normalizing all nonlinearities to…
