Superconductivity from repulsion: a variational view

B. Sriram Shastry

This letter presents a new class of variational wavefunctions for Fermi systems in any dimension. These wavefunctions introduce correlations between Cooper pairs in different momentum states and the relevant correlations can be computed analytically. At half filling we have a ground state with critical superconducting correlations, that causes negligible increase of the kinetic energy. We find large enhancements in a Cooper-pair correlation function caused purely by the interplay between the uncertainty principle, repulsion and the proximity of half filling. This is surprising since there is no accompanying signature in usual charge and spin response functions, and typifies a novel kind of many-body cooperative behaviour.

Wonderful life at weak Coulomb interaction: increasing of superconducting/superfluid transition temperature by disorder

V. E. Kravtsov

We have shown that in systems where the Coulomb interaction is strongly suppressed, the superconducting transition temperature may be enhanced by disorder close to the Anderson localization transition. This phenomenon is based on the enhancement by disorder of the matrix element of attraction in the Cooper channel. For enhancement to take place one needs (i) strong disorder which makes the single-particle wave functions strongly inhomogeneous in space and (ii) strong correlation of the patterns of inhomogeneity for different wavefunctions. One case where such correlation is well known is the system close to the Anderson transition. We review the notion of multifractality of wavefunctions in this region and show how the enhancement of T c arises out of the multifractal correlations.
