Literature Request: Introduction to d-wave superconductivity

[tesselation]

I'm looking for a pedagogic introduction to d-wave superconductivity on the level of field theory.

Ideally, this would involve a derivation of d-wave superconductivity and the form of the gap parameter from some fundamental Hamiltonian (if such a derivation is even possible yet).

Books and papers are welcome.

Hi! There is a very good book by P W Anderson "Theory of High Tc Superconductor", also there is a very good review by P. A. Lee in Review of Modern Physics. The general approach to high Tc is doped Mott insulator.

Considering his theory is wrong, you might want to take it with a grain of salt.

Thank you for your request for information on d-wave superconductivity. I would be happy to provide some resources for your inquiry.

Firstly, a good starting point for a pedagogic introduction to d-wave superconductivity would be the book "Introduction to Superconductivity: Second Edition" by Michael Tinkham. Chapter 9 specifically covers d-wave superconductivity and includes a derivation of the gap parameter from the BCS theory.

Another useful resource is the paper "Theory of d-wave Superconductivity in the High-Tc Cuprates" by Patrick A. Lee, Naoto Nagaosa, and Xiao-Gang Wen. This paper presents a comprehensive theoretical framework for d-wave superconductivity in high-temperature cuprates, including a derivation of the gap parameter from a microscopic Hamiltonian.

Additionally, the book "Superconductivity: A Very Short Introduction" by Stephen J. Blundell provides a concise overview of d-wave superconductivity in the context of other types of superconductivity.

I hope these resources will be helpful in your understanding of d-wave superconductivity and its theoretical underpinnings. Best of luck in your studies.
