Electron-phonon driven unconventional superconductivity: The role of small Fermi energies and of nonadiabatic processes

Claudio Grimaldi

The very concept of high-T-c superconductivity has originated from the discovery of superconductivity in copper oxides by Bednorz and Muller in 1986. Soon after their discovery, cuprates were recognized as undoubtedly complex and radically unconventional s ...
