Literature Request: Introduction to d-wave superconductivity

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on the need for a pedagogic introduction to d-wave superconductivity, particularly from the perspective of field theory. Key resources mentioned include P.W. Anderson's "Theory of High Tc Superconductors" and a review by P.A. Lee in the "Review of Modern Physics." The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding the derivation of d-wave superconductivity and the gap parameter from fundamental Hamiltonians. Additionally, Vladimir P. Mineev and K. V. Samokhin's book on unconventional superconductivity is recommended as a valuable resource.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of field theory concepts
  • Familiarity with superconductivity principles
  • Knowledge of Hamiltonian mechanics
  • Basic grasp of Mott insulator theory
NEXT STEPS
  • Study P.W. Anderson's "Theory of High Tc Superconductors"

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.
