At the heart of superconductivity lies a profound interplay between electrons, the fundamental particles that carry electrical current. When electrons interact strongly with each other, they can form Cooper pairs, which are the building blocks of superconductivity. Understanding the nature of these electron correlations is crucial to unlocking the full potential of this remarkable phenomenon.

Electron Correlation and the Birth of Superconductivity

In the 1950s, the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) theory provided a groundbreaking framework for understanding conventional superconductivity. BCS theory describes how electrons can overcome their mutual repulsion to form Cooper pairs through their interaction with phonons, which are quantized vibrations of the atomic lattice.

However, BCS theory struggles to explain a new class of materials that emerged in the 1980s known as high-temperature superconductors. These materials exhibit superconductivity at temperatures far above the predictions of BCS theory, challenging the fundamental understanding of electron correlations.

Electron Correlation in High-Temperature Superconductors

High-temperature superconductors, such as cuprates and iron-based materials, exhibit unconventional behavior that cannot be fully explained by BCS theory. The key to understanding these materials lies in recognizing the dominant role of electron correlations in their superconducting properties.

Electron correlations in these materials are much stronger than in conventional superconductors, leading to the formation of novel types of Cooper pairs. These exotic Cooper pairs are not mediated by phonons but rather by other electronic excitations, such as spin fluctuations or charge fluctuations.
