An understanding of the high-temperature copper oxide (cuprate) superconductors has
eluded the physics community for over thirty years and represents one of the greatest …

The physics of underdoped copper oxide superconductors, including the pseudogap, spin
and charge ordering and their relation to superconductivity,,, is intensely debated. The …

Abstract Within the Bardeen–Cooper–Schrieffer (BCS) theory, superconductivity is entirely
governed by the pairing energy scale, which gives rise to the superconducting energy gap …

The nature of the pseudogap phase of hole-doped cuprate superconductors is still not
understood fully. Several experiments have suggested that this phase ends at a critical hole …

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 …

The idea that preformed Cooper pairs could exist in a superconductor at temperatures
higher than its zero-resistance critical temperature (T c) has been explored for …

Overdoped high-temperature cuprate superconductors have often been understood within
the standard BCS framework of superconductivity. However, measurements in a variety of …

The physics of quantum critical phase transitions connects to some of the most difficult
problems in condensed matter physics, including metal–insulator transitions, frustrated …

We calculate superfluid density for a dirty d-wave superconductor. The effects of impurity
scattering are treated within the self-consistent t-matrix approximation, in weak-coupling …

We use dirty d-wave BCS theory to calculate absolute superfluid density, residual specific
heat, Volovik effect, and thermal conductivity and compare to experiments on the cuprate …
