Electron-electron relaxation in two-dimensional impure superconductors
نویسنده
چکیده
The electron-electron relaxation in impure two-dimensional superconductors is studied. All channels of the electron-electron interaction classified in the Nambu representation are taken into account. It is shown that the recombination relaxation rate originates from quasipartical processes associated with fluctuations of the electron density and the phase of the order parameter. At low temperatures the recombination relaxation rate has a double exponential temperature dependence. The scattering relaxation rate at low temperatures has a power law temperature dependence due to contributions from gapless collective excitations, the phase modes. Two-layer superconductornormal metal system is also considered. It is shown that the recombination relaxation rate in the superconducting layer has a single exponential factor at low temperatures in comparison with a one layer superconducting system. This increase in the recombination relaxation rate originates from the interlayer Coulomb interaction and may be used in constructing of superconducting radiation detectors. PACS: 73.50.Bk, 73.50.Dn.

Quantum and classical scattering times due to charged dislocations in an impure electron gas
We derive the ratio of transport and single-particle relaxation times in threeand two-dimensional electron gases due to scattering from charged dislocations in semiconductors. The results are compared to the respective relaxation times due to randomly placed charged impurities. We find that the ratio is larger than the case of ionized impurity scattering in both threeand two-dimensional electro...
متن کاملCharacteristic two-dimensional Fermi surface topology of high-Tc iron-based superconductors
Unconventional Cooper pairing originating from spin or orbital fluctuations has been proposed for iron-based superconductors. Such pairing may be enhanced by quasi-nesting of two-dimensional electron and hole-like Fermi surfaces (FS), which is considered an important ingredient for superconductivity at high critical temperatures (high-Tc). However, the dimensionality of the FS varies for hole a...

This review article is about the role of electron-electron interactions in low dimensional systems and its transport properties in nano-structures. It begins with a review of the pair-distribution function theory of electron liquid systems taking into account the electron-electron interactions. We extend the theory for highly correlated system such two- and one-dimensional electron liquids. We...
متن کاملConfinement of spin and charge in high-temperature superconductors.
By exploiting the internal gauge-invariance intrinsic to a spin-charge separated electron, we show that such degrees of freedom must be confined in two-dimensional superconductors experiencing strong inter-electron repulsion. We also demonstrate that incipient confinement in the normal state can prevent chiral spin-fluctuations from destroying the cross-over between strange and psuedo-gap regim...
متن کاملUniversal Saturation of Intrinsic Electron Dephasing in Three-dimensional Disordered Metals
We have systematically investigated the low-temperature electron dephasing times τ φ in more than 40 three-dimensional polycrystalline impure metals with distinct material characteristics. In all cases, a saturation of the dephasing time is observed below about a (few) degree(s) Kelvin, depending on samples. The value of the saturated dephasing time τ 0 [≡ τ φ (T → 0 K)] falls basically in the ...
