Boris Shklovskii: Superfluid-insulator transition with strong disorder


(Delayed Blog posting from Week 2, Thursday 9th Aug).

Boris Shklovskii spoke about the critical density of particles, n, needed to enter
a superfluid state from a localized insulator. He considered the phase diagram
as a function of n and the Cooper pair size xi. For small xi, this becomes a boson
localization problem, while for large xi, we instead have to consider the metal-insulator transition of fermions (it is assumed that once the fermions become metallic, the BCS instability will convert the metal into a superconductor). Boris argued that bosons localize more easily than fermions: for bosons one has to compare the variation in the effective potential energy with the kinetic energy (of order 1/L^2, where L is the size of a wavefunction) of a single state, while for fermions the potential energy has to be compared with the Fermi energy. Consequently the critical density for small xi was parametrically larger than the critical density for large xi - this was one of the central results.


A crucial ingredient in the argument was the computation of the effective potential energy experienced by a single boson or fermion. This was determined in a classical (Hartree) manner, by adding the interaction energy to the random potential. In particular, Boris considered a model of a strongly compensated semiconductor, with many impurities of both positive and negative charges. Then a self-consistent non-linear screening argument was used, similar to that described in the classic book by Efros+Shklovskii.

Howdy just wanted to give you a quick heads up.
The text in your article seem to be running off the screen in Safari.
I'm not sure if this is a formatting issue or something to do with browser compatibility but I figured I'd post to let you know.
The design and style look great though! Hope you get
the issue resolved soon. Thanks

Heya! I realize this is somewhat off-topic however I had to ask.
Does running a well-established blog such as
yours require a massive amount work? I am brand new to writing a blog however I do write in my journal
everyday. I'd like to start a blog so I can share my experience and views online. Please let me know if you have any ideas or tips for new aspiring blog owners. Thankyou!
