Non-equilibrium Kondo effect in asymmetrically coupled quantum dot

The quantum dot asymmetrically coupled to the external leads has been analysed theoretically by means of the equation of motion (EOM) technique and the non-crossing approximation (NCA). The system has been described by the single impurity Anderson model. To calculate the conductance across the device the non-equilibrium Green's function technique has been used. The obtained results show the importance of the asymmetry of the coupling for the appearance of the Kondo peak at nonzero voltages and qualitatively explain recent experiments.

P-wave Pairing in superconducting Sr2RuO4

Two models for the superconducting state of Sr2RuO4 have been analyzed. In an "orbital model" the in-plane and out of-plane interactions between electrons on neighboring Ru atoms are assumed to be attractive. In spite of the single particle hybrisation of the orbitals the model shows two superconducting transitions and fine-tuning of parameters is necessary to get a single transition. Otherwise the model correctly describes a number of experimental data. The "orbital proximity model" introduced here assumes the existence of special kind of inter-orbital interaction, which mixes the symmetries of the order parameters. This model naturally shows single temperature transition, but as our calculations indicate, does not lead to correct dependence of the electronic specific heat.

Three Band Model for Superconductivity in Sr2RuO4

We analyse the pairing symmetry of the order parameter in superconducting Sr2RuO4. Basing on a realistic three dimensional 3 band energy spectrum we have introduced effective attractive ellectron-electron interactions and found a solution which has line nodes in the gap in alpha and beta bands but not in gamma band. This state breaks time reversal symmetry and leads to the proper temperature dependence of the specific heat, in-plane penetration depth and thermal conductivity.

Coherent Potential Approximation for `d - wave' Superconductivity in Disordered Systems

A Coherent Potential Approximation is developed for s-wave and d-wave superconductivity in disordered systems. We show that the CPA formalism reproduces the standard pair-breaking formula, the self-consistent Born Approximation and the self-consistent T-matrix approximation in the appropriate limits. We implement the theory and compute T_c for s-wave and d-wave pairing using an attractive nearest neighbor Hubbard model featuring both binary alloy disorder and a uniform distribution of scattering site potentials. We determine the density of states and examine its consequences for low temperature heat capacity. We find that our results are in qualitative agreement with measurements on Zn doped YBCO superconductors.

Van Hove Singularity and D-Wave Pairing in Disordered Superconductors

We apply the coherent potential approximation (CPA) to a simple model for disordered superconductors with d-wave pairing. We demonstrate that whilst the effectiveness of an electronic Van Hove singularity to enhance the transition temperature T$_c$ is reduced by disorder it is not eliminated. In fact we give a qualitative account of changes in the T$_c$ vs. doping curve with increasing disorder and compare our results with experiments on the Y_{0.8}Ca_{0.2}Ba_2(Cu_{1-c}Zn_c)_{3}O_{7-δ} alloys.

Density Expansion for the Mobility in a Quantum Lorentz Model

We consider the mobility of electrons in an environment of static hard-sphere scatterers, which provides a realistic description of electrons in Helium gas. A systematic expansion in the scatterer density is carried to second order relative to the Boltzmann result, and the analytic contribution at this order is derived, together with the known logarithmic term in the density expansion. It is shown that existing experimental data are consistent with the existence of the logarithmic term in the density expansion, but more precise experiments are needed in order to unambiguously detect it. We show that our calculations provide the necessary theoretical information for such an experiment, and give a detailed discussion of a suitable parameter range.

Density Expansion for the Mobility of Electrons in Helium Gas

We calculate the electron mobility for a quantum Lorentz model, which provides a realistic description of electrons in Helium gas, to second order in the gas density. We show that this provides sufficient theoretical information to allow for an experimental observation of the famous logarithmic term in the density expansion. Detailed predictions, and a discussion of a suitable parameter range, for such an experiment are given.
