We investigate the effect of thermal fluctuations on the two-particle spectral function for a disordered $s$-wave superconductor in two dimensions, focusing on the evolution of the collective amplitude and phase modes. We find three main effects of thermal fluctuations: (a) the phase mode is softened with increasing temperature reflecting the decrease of superfluid stiffness; (b) remarkably, the non-dispersive collective amplitude modes at finite energy near ${bf q}=[0,0]$ and ${bf q}=[pi,pi]$ survive even in presence of thermal fluctuations in the disordered superconductor; and (c) the scattering of the thermally excited fermionic quasiparticles leads to low energy incoherent spectral weight that forms a strongly momentum-dependent background halo around the phase and amplitude collective modes and broadens them. Due to momentum and energy conservation constraints, this halo has a boundary which disperses linearly at low momenta and shows a strong dip near the $[pi,pi]$ point in the Brillouin zone.
Isolated islands in two-dimensional strongly-disordered and strongly-coupled superconductors become optically active inducing sub-gap collective excitations in the ac conductivity. Here, we investigate the fate of these excitations as a function of t
We make the first testable predictions for the local two-particle spectral function of a disordered s-wave superconductor, probed by scanning Josephson spectroscopy (sjs), providing complementary information to scanning tunneling spectroscopy (sts).
We study suppression of superconductivity by disorder in d-wave superconductors, and predict the existence of (at least) two sequential low temperature transitions as a function of increasing disorder: a d -wave to -wave, and then an s-wave to metal
We analyze the complex interplay of the strong correlations and impurities in a high temperature superconductor and show that both the nature and degree of the inhomogeneities at zero temperature in the local order parameters change drastically from
Motivated by recent proposals of correlation induced insensitivity of d-wave superconductors to impurities, we develop a simple pairing theory for these systems for up to a moderate strength of disorder. Our description implements the key ideas of An
