With the high-temperature superconductors a qualitatively new regime in the
phenomenology of type-II superconductivity can be accessed. The key elements governing …

In active matter systems, individual constituents convert energy into non-conservative forces
or motion at the microscale, leading to morphological features and transport properties that …

The effects of thermal fluctuations, quenched disorder, and anisotropy on the phases and
phase transitions in type-II superconductors are examined, focusing on linear and nonlinear …

Statistical mechanics is our tool for deriving the laws that emerge from complex systems.
Sethna's text distills the subject to be accessible to those in all realms of science and …

Superfluidity and Superconductivity, Third Edition introduces the low-temperature
phenomena of superfluidity and superconductivity from a unified viewpoint. The book …

For a decade now the subject of the nature of the two-dimensional melting transition has
remained controversial. An elegant theory based on the unbinding of pairs of crystal defects …

The high-temperature copper oxide superconductors are of fundamental and enduring
interest. They not only manifest superconducting transition temperatures inconceivable 15 …

The article reviews the two-dimensional Coulomb gas model and its connection to vortex
fluctuations for a two-dimensional superfluid. The neutral and non-neutral versions of the …

Two general features of a superconductor, which appear at the critical temperature, are the
formation of an energy gap and the expulsion of magnetic flux (the Meissner effect). In …

We review the theory of vortices in trapped dilute Bose-Einstein condensates and compare
theoretical predictions with existing experiments. Mean-field theory based on the time …
