This article discusses fluctuating order in a quantum disordered phase proximate to a
quantum critical point, with particular emphasis on fluctuating stripe order. Optimal strategies …

The origin of the exceptionally strong superconductivity of cuprates remains a subject of
debate after more than two decades of investigation. Here we follow a new lead: The onset …

Cryogenic detectors are extremely sensitive and have a wide variety of applications,,(
particularly in astronomy,,,,), but are difficult to integrate into large arrays like a modern CCD …

This book presents a complete encyclopedia of superconducting fluctuations, summarising
the last thirty-five years of work in the field. The first part of the book is devoted to an …

All conventional metals are known to possess a three-dimensional Fermi surface, which is
the locus in reciprocal space of the long-lived electronic excitations that govern their …

We report the observation of Shubnikov–de Haas oscillations in the underdoped cuprate
superconductor YBa 2 Cu 4 O 8 (Y124). For fields aligned along the c axis, the frequency of …

In this paper, we present recent developments in the theory of transport phenomena based
on the Fermi liquid theory. In conventional metals, various transport coefficients are scaled …

The effect of fluctuations on the transport and thermodynamic properties of two-dimensional
superconductors in a perpendicular magnetic field is studied at low temperature T≪ T c 0 …

We have studied the influence of disorder induced by electron irradiation on the normal-
state resistivities ρ (T) of optimally and underdoped YBa 2 Cu 3 O x single crystals, using …

Using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and optical ellipsometry, room temperature
spectra of complex conductivity of single crystals of hexaborides Gd x La 1− x B 6, x (Gd)= 0 …
