When superconductivity crosses over: From BCS to BEC

Q Chen, Z Wang, R Boyack, S Yang, K Levin - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2024 - APS
New developments in superconductivity, particularly through unexpected and often
surprising forms of superconducting materials, continue to excite the community and …

Aspects of electron correlations in the cuprate superconductors

W Brenig - Physics Reports, 1995 - Elsevier
We review concepts and effects of electron correlations in the copper-oxide
superconductors. The purpose of this article is twofold. First, we provide an overview of …

Two-dimensional attractive Hubbard model and the BCS-BEC crossover

RA Fontenele, NC Costa, RR dos Santos, T Paiva - Physical Review B, 2022 - APS
Recent experiments with ultracold fermionic atoms in optical lattices have provided a
tuneable and clean realization of the attractive Hubbard model (AHM). In view of this …

Critical temperature for the two-dimensional attractive Hubbard model

T Paiva, RR Dos Santos, RT Scalettar, PJH Denteneer - Physical Review B, 2004 - APS
The critical temperature for the attractive Hubbard model on a square lattice is determined
from the analysis of two independent quantities, the helicity modulus ρ s and the pairing …

Quantum geometric contributions to the BKT transition: Beyond mean field theory

Z Wang, G Chaudhary, Q Chen, K Levin - Physical Review B, 2020 - APS
We study quantum geometric contributions to the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT)
transition temperature T BKT in the presence of fluctuations beyond BCS theory. Because …

Nonperturbative -model approach to strong coupling superconductivity in two and three dimensions

E Babaev, H Kleinert - Physical Review B, 1999 - APS
For an electron gas with δ-function attraction, we investigate the crossover from weak-to
strong-coupling superconductivity in two and three dimensions. From mean-field theory we …

Route to high-temperature superconductivity in composite systems

E Berg, D Orgad, SA Kivelson - Physical Review B—Condensed Matter and …, 2008 - APS
Apparently, some form of local superconducting pairing persists up to temperatures well
above the maximum observed T c in underdoped cuprates; ie, T c is suppressed due to the …

Cooper pairing, flat-band superconductivity, and quantum geometry in the pyrochlore-Hubbard model

M Iskin - Physical Review B, 2024 - APS
We investigate the impacts of the quantum geometry of Bloch states, specifically through the
band-resolved quantum-metric tensor, on Cooper pairing and flat-band superconductivity in …

Thermodynamic evidence for electron correlation-driven flattening of the quasiparticle bands in the high-Tc cuprates

N Harrison, MK Chan - arXiv preprint arXiv:2303.12956, 2023 - arxiv.org
A flattened electronic band is one of several possible routes for increasing the strength of the
pairing interactions in a superconductor. With this in mind, we show here that …
