A look at the crossover region between BCS superconductivity and Bose Einstein Condensation

P. A. Sreeram, Suresh G. Mishra

Pair fluctuation theory has been used to study the crossover from the weak coupling BCS theory to the strong coupling Bose Einstein Condensation. The effect of fluctuations has been studied over the whole crossover regime. It has been shown that the pair fluctuations are enhanced considerably in both two and three dimensions and hence mean field theory is inadequate to study the physical properties in this regime. A self consistent scheme for calculating the pair susceptibility is given.

When superconductivity crosses over: From BCS to BEC

Qijin Chen, Zhiqiang Wang, Rufus Boyack +2 more

The theory of unconventional superconductors continues to provide profound puzzles. The crossover between the weakly coupled Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) state and the strong-pairing Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) provides a useful perspective on how to address these questions. This paper describes a self-consistent framework for thinking about the crossover regime in between these two limits. The review discusses to what extent this BCS-BEC theory applies to a range of classes of superconducting materials including the cuprates, iron pnictides, twisted bilayer graphene, and interfacial superconductivity among others.

Generalized Bose-Einstein Condensation and BCS-Bose Crossover Theory

MANUEL DE LLANO, Francisco J. Sevilla, M. A. Solís +1 more

We show how critical temperatures Tc from the BCS-Bose crossover theory (defined self-consistently by both the gap and fermion-number equations) requires unphysically large couplings for the Cooper/BCS model interaction to differ significantly from the Tc of ordinary BCS theory (where the number equation is replaced by the assumption that the chemical potential equals the Fermi energy). Furthermore, within a recent generalization of Bose-Einstein condensation (GBEC) that includes electron and also, without loss of generality, hole Cooper pairs (CPs), both species interacting with unpaired electrons and holes, it is shown that although explicitly ignoring either hole- or electron CPs yields the precise BCS gap equation for all temperatures T, only half of the T = 0 BCS rigorous-upper-bound condensation energy is obtained.
