Superconductivity in dilute SrTiO3: A review

MN Gastiasoro, J Ruhman, RM Fernandes - Annals of Physics, 2020 - Elsevier
Doped SrTiO 3, one of the most dilute bulk systems to display superconductivity, is perhaps
the first example of an unconventional superconductor, as it does not fit into the standard …

Polar metals: principles and prospects

S Bhowal, NA Spaldin - Annual Review of Materials Research, 2023 - annualreviews.org
We review the class of materials known as polar metals, in which polarity and metallicity
coexist in the same phase. While the notion of polar metals was first invoked more than 50 …

Enhanced superconductivity and ferroelectric quantum criticality in plastically deformed strontium titanate

S Hameed, D Pelc, ZW Anderson, A Klein… - Nature materials, 2022 - nature.com
The properties of quantum materials are commonly tuned using experimental variables such
as pressure, magnetic field and doping. Here we explore a different approach using …

Pairing in magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene: role of phonon and plasmon umklapp

C Lewandowski, D Chowdhury, J Ruhman - Physical Review B, 2021 - APS
Identifying the microscopic mechanism for superconductivity in magic-angle twisted bilayer
graphene (MATBG) is an outstanding open problem. While MATBG exhibits a rich phase …

Polar nanodomains in a ferroelectric superconductor

S Salmani-Rezaie, K Ahadi, S Stemmer - Nano Letters, 2020 - ACS Publications
The mechanisms by which itinerant carriers compete with polar crystal distortions are a key
unresolved issue for polar superconductors, which offer new routes to unconventional …

A large modulation of electron-phonon coupling and an emergent superconducting dome in doped strong ferroelectrics

J Ma, R Yang, H Chen - Nature communications, 2021 - nature.com
We use first-principles methods to study doped strong ferroelectrics (taking BaTiO3 as a
prototype). Here, we find a strong coupling between itinerant electrons and soft polar …

Field theory of a superconductor with repulsion

A Dalal, J Ruhman, V Kozii - Physical Review B, 2023 - APS
A superconductor emerges as a condensate of electron pairs, which bind despite their
strong Coulomb repulsion. Eliashberg's theory elucidates the mechanisms enabling them to …

Metallic and deconfined quantum criticality in Dirac systems

ZH Liu, M Vojta, FF Assaad, L Janssen - Physical Review Letters, 2022 - APS
Motivated by the physics of spin-orbital liquids, we study a model of interacting Dirac
fermions on a bilayer honeycomb lattice at half filling, featuring an explicit global SO (3)× U …

Ferroelectricity‐Tuned Band Topology and Superconductivity in 2D Materials and Related Heterostructures

J Chen, P Cui, Z Zhang - Advanced Functional Materials, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
Ferroelectricity, band topology, and superconductivity are respectively local, global, and
macroscopic properties of quantum materials, and understanding their mutual couplings …

Anisotropic superconductivity mediated by ferroelectric fluctuations in cubic systems with spin-orbit coupling

MN Gastiasoro, TV Trevisan, RM Fernandes - Physical Review B, 2020 - APS
Motivated by the experimental observation that superconductivity in bulk doped SrTiO 3 is
enhanced as a putative ferroelectric quantum critical point (FE-QCP) is approached, we …
