A recent study found that the Hubbard model failed to accurately predict the behavior of a simplified one-dimensional cuprate ...

In conventional superconductors, such as most Type I superconductors, the superconductivity is explained by the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) theory. According to BCS theory, electrons in a ...

second-order phase transitions & the Ginzburg-Landau calculation for magnetic flux penetration WEEK 5 Microscopic theory of superconductivity, concepts of the energy gap and Cooper pairs, introduction ...

Before the BCS theory of conventional superconductivity, would you have thought that a microscopic mechanism of superconductivity existed? Being hardly in existence then, I cannot tell for sure.

"The superconducting behavior we observed is in no way similar to the conventional superconductivity explained by the textbook Bardeen- Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) theory," explained Sakai.

Following the emergence later in the 1950s of the microscopic Bardeen–Cooper–Schrieffer (BCS) theory of superconductivity, Lev Gorkov showed that Ginzburg–Landau theory emerged naturally ...

Superconductivity—the ability of some ... is explained by a Nobel Prize-winning theory known as the BCS theory. But the electronic structure of cuprates is fundamentally different than metals ...

The quest for high-temperature superconductivity continues to captivate scientists. Recent progress sheds new light on a phenomenon that has been poorly understood until now. Superconductivity is ...
