报告内容:
In this talk, I report our research on superconductivity, especially our efforts on understanding the mechanism of high-temperature superconductivity in organic superconductors and cuprates. For organic superconductors, we carried out an extensive numerical study on the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) superconductors, starting from C6H6 (single benzene ring) to C30H18 (seven benzene rings), and we predict the existence of a unique superconducting phase in aromatic hydrocarbons. Such phase came is electron-phonon originated with Tc in the range of 5-7K. To accommodate experimental findings and expectation for higher Tc, we argue that the electronic correlation should play an important role. We further show cases where one may achieve superconductivity in liquid nitrogen temperature zone at ambient pressure. We then report a universal relation between Tc and Coulomb interaction such as Hubbard U in cuprates. Mechanism behind the universal relation will be briefly discussed. For cuprates, we developed an extended interlayer coupling model for layered cuprate superconductors, adopting a widely accepted dispersion of electronic structure. We showed that the change of the maximum critical temperature Tc from homologous series to series is determined by the next-nearest-neighboring hopping, while the difference of the maximum Tc among the compounds in the same homologous series is controlled by the interlayer pairing strength. These trends have been proven to be valid when the model is extended to the phonon-mediated superconductivity.
