We formulate a quasiclassical theory ($\omega_c\tau \lesssim 1$ with $\omega_c$ as the cyclotron frequency and $\tau$ as the relaxation time) to study the influence of magnetic field on electron-impurity scattering process in the…
In s-wave superconductors with a small concentration of magnetic impurities, the only electronic excitations that remain available at low temperatures are the excitations of the system of localized spins. We discuss a new mechanism of…
Unconventional superconductivity has been discovered in a variety of doped materials, including topological insulators, semimetals and twisted bilayers. A unifying property of these systems is strong orbital hybridization, which involves…
We show that the Wiedemann-Franz law is violated at zero temperature in the vortex state of a d-wave BCS superconductor with isotropic impurity scattering. We use a semiclassical approach to include the Doppler shift experienced by the…
Recently a hybrid s+g-wave pairing is proposed to describe the experimental observation for a nodal structure of the superconducting gap in borocarbide YNi$_2$B$_2$C and possibly LuNi$_2$B$_2$C. In this paper the impurity effects on the…
We investigate a simple explanation for the high maximum gap to $T_{c}$ ratio found experimentally in high $T_{c}$ compounds. We ascribe this observation to the lowering of $T_{c}$ by boson scattering of electrons between parts of the Fermi…
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…
We study the model of a d-wave superconductor interacting with finite concentration of Anderson impurities at zero temperature. The interaction between impurity and conduction electrons is taken into account within the large-$N$…
The remarkable robustness of high-temperature superconductors against disorder remains a controversial obstacle towards the elucidation of their pairing state. Indeed, experiments report a weak suppression rate of the transition temperature…
We investigate the impurity resonant state induced by non-magnetic impurities in d-wave cuprate superconductors in two different impurity models: (i) in a pure potential scattering model within the T-matrix approach and (ii) in a Bose-Fermi…
To describe the scattering of superconducting quasiparticles from non-magnetic (Zn) or magnetic (Ni) impurities in optimally doped high T$_c$ cuprates, we propose an effective Anderson model Hamiltonian of a localized electron hybridizing…
We describe high-Tc superconductivity in layered materials within a BCS theory as a BEC of massless-like Cooper pairons satisfying a linear dispersion relation, and propagating within quasi-2D layers of finite width defined by the charge…
We report a detailed analytic and numerical study of electronic thermal conductivity in d-wave superconductors. We compare theory of the cross over at low temperatures from T-dependence to T^3-dependence for increasing temperature with…
Using a generalized T-matrix description which, in principle, exactly includes Coulomb correlations and potential scattering events, resonant and bound impurity states are discussed. Like in the non-interacting case, the effects of the…
A d-wave superconductor with isolated strong non-magnetic impurities should exhibit an upturn in the penetration depth at low temperatures. Here we calculate how an external magnetic field supresses this effect.
The structure of the order parameter and the excitation spectrum are investigated for isolated impurities in d-wave superconductors. Atomic scale impurities, or defects, scatter quasiparticles and lead to local suppression (pair-breaking)…
We investigate validity of Anderson's theorem (AT) for disordered s-wave superconductors in a negative U Hubbard model with random on-site energies, $\epsilon_{i}$. The superconducting critical temperature, $T_{c}$, is calculated in the…
To probe the influence of structural disorder on low-temperature behavior of magnetic penetration depth in electron-doped high-T_C superconductors, a comparative study of high-quality Pr_{1.85}Ce_{0.15}CuO_4 (PCCO) and…
We study the local density of states around potential scatterers in d-wave superconductors, and show that quantum interference between impurity states is not negligible for experimentally relevant impurity concentrations. The two impurity…
Irrespective of the class they belong to, all the hole doped high-Tc cuprate superconductors show an anti-correlation between the superconducting transition temperature and the characteristic pseudogap energy in the underdoped region. The…
