We examine the Coulomb pseudopotential $mu^*$ in the McMillan equation applying to the superconductivity of heavily doped semiconductors. Systematic calculation using the first-principles calculation suggests that $mu^*$ should be considered as a variable quantity depending on carrier density $n$ in semiconductors, although it is usually considered as a constant about 0.1. To clarify $n-$dependence of $mu^*$, we solve the McMillan equation inversely for $mu^*$ by combining the result of the first-principles calculation and that of experiments. It indicates that $mu^*$ decreases with $n$ and becomes negative under $n sim 5 times 10^{-21}[{rm cm^{-3}}]$. This reduction is explained by the effect of plasmon which may play an important role in the superconductivity of low carrier systems such as heavily doped semiconductors.

The influence of antiadiabatic phonons on the temperature of superconducting transition is considered within Eliashberg - McMillan approach in the model of discrete set of (optical) phonon frequencies. A general expression for superconducting transition temperature $T_c$ is proposed, which is valid in situation, when one (or several) of such phonons becomes antiadiabatic. We study the contribution of such phonons into the Coulomb pseudopotential $mu^{star}$. It is shown, that antiadiabatic phonons do not contribute to Tolmachevs logarithm and its value is determined by partial contributions from adiabatic phonons only. The results obtained are discussed in the context of the problem of unusually high superconducting transition temperature of FeSe monolayer on STO.
We present microwave and infrared measurements on SmLa0.8Sr0.2CuO4-d, which are direct evidence for the existence of a transverse optical plasma mode, observed as a peak in the c-axis optical conductivity. This mode appears as a consequence of the existence of two different intrinsic Josephson couplings between the CuO2 layers, one with a Sm2O2 block layer, and the other one with a (La,Sr)O block layer. From the frequencies and the intensities of the collective modes we determine the value of the compressibility of the two dimensional electron fluid in the copper oxygen planes.
We study a lattice bipolaron on a staggered triangular ladder and triangular and hexagonal lattices with both long-range electron-phonon interaction and strong Coulomb repulsion using a novel continuous-time quantum Monte-Carlo (CTQMC) algorithm extended to the Coulomb-Frohlich model with two particles. The algorithm is preceded by an exact integration over phonon degrees of freedom, and as such is extremely efficient. The bipolaron effective mass and bipolaron radius are computed. Lattice bipolarons on such lattices have a novel crablike motion, and are small but very light in a wide range of parameters, which leads to a high Bose-Einstein condensation temperature. We discuss the relevance of our results with current experiments on cuprate high-temperature superconductors and propose a route to room temperature superconductivity.
Unconventional superconductivity has been discovered in a variety of doped materials, including topological insulators, semimetals and twisted bilayers. A unifying property of these systems is strong orbital hybridization, which involves pairing of states with non-trivial Bloch wave functions. In contrast to naive expectation, many of these superconductors are relatively resilient to disorder. Here we study the effects of a generic disorder on superconductivity in doped 3D Dirac systems, which serve as a paradigmatic example for the dispersion near a band crossing point. We argue that due to strong orbital hybridization, interorbital scattering processes are naturally present and must be taken into account. We calculate the reduction of the critical temperature for a variety of pairing states and scattering channels using Abrikosov-Gorkov theory. In that way, the role of disorder is captured by a single parameter $Gamma$, the pair scattering rate. This procedure is very general and can be readily applied to different band structures and disorder configurations. Our results show that interorbital scattering has a significant effect on superconductivity, where the robustness of different pairing states highly depends on the relative strength of the different interorbital scattering channels. Our analysis also reveals a protection, analogous to the Andersons theorem, of the odd-parity pairing state with total angular momentum zero (the B-phase of superfluid $^3$He). This odd-pairty state is a singlet of partners under $mathcal{CT}$ symmetry (rather than $mathcal{T}$ symmetry in the standard Andersons theory), where $mathcal{C}$ and $mathcal{T}$ are chiral and time-reversal symmetries, respectively. As a result, it is protected against any disorder potential that respects $mathcal{CT}$ symmetry, which includes a family of time-reversal odd (magnetic) impurities.
One of the most intriguing aspects of cuprates is a large pseudogap coexisting with a high superconducting transition temperature. Here, we study pairing in the cuprates from electron-electron interactions by constructing the pair vertex using spectral functions derived from angle resolved photoemission data for a near optimal doped Bi$_2$Sr$_2$CaCu$_2$O$_{8+delta}$ sample that has a pronounced pseudogap. Assuming that that the pseudogap is {it not} due to pairing, we find that the superconducting instability is strongly suppressed, in stark contrast to what is actually observed. Using an analytic approximation for the spectral functions, we can trace this suppression to the destruction of the BCS logarithmic singularity from a combination of the pseudogap and lifetime broadening. Our findings strongly support those theories of the cuprates where the pseudogap is instead due to pairing.
