Cooper pairs as low-energy excitations in the normal state
We discuss the normal state of a fermionic system in an idealized PSEUDOGAP
REGIME, . Stable Cooper pairs induce a
pseudogap of width in the fermion energy spectrum. Near two
dimensions, we find a Bose-like condensation temperature in this predominantly
fermionic system.Comment: 2 pages, LaTeX, espcrc2.sty file included. An outline of a

Knight Shift, Magnetic Susceptibility and Electrical Resistivity of Pure Gallium and Gallium-Indium Eutectic Alloy in the Normal and the Supercooled Liquid State
Knight shift, magnetic susceptibility, electrical resistivity and density of pure gallium and gallium-indium eutectic alloy were measured over a wide temperature range above and below the melting point in order to study the properties of the supercooled state. From the results of the measurements of Knight shift and electronic magnetic susceptibility, a difference in the temperature dependence was detected between the supercooled liquid and the normal liquid of gallium and gallium-indium eutectic alloy. On the other hand, the measurements of electrical resistivity and density did not indicate any discontinuous change. The temperature dependences of effective mass ratio and average probability density at the nucleus for the s-electrons on the Fermi surface were calculated by using the observed results of Knight shift, magnetic susceptibility and density for liquid gallium. From these results a structural change may be expected between the supercooled and the normal liquid gallium
Heat transport of electron-doped Cobaltates
Within the t-J model, the heat transport of electron-doped cobaltates is
studied based on the fermion-spin theory. It is shown that the temperature
dependent thermal conductivity is characterized by the low temperature peak
located at a finite temperature. The thermal conductivity increases
monotonously with increasing temperature at low temperatures T 0.1, and
then decreases with increasing temperature for higher temperatures T
0.1, in qualitative agreement with experimental result observed from
NaCoO .Comment: 4 pages, 1 fig, corrected typos, accepted for publication in Commun.

Thermodynamics of Crossover from Weak- to Strong-Coupling Superconductivity
In this paper we study an evolution of low-temperature thermodynamical
quantities for an electron gas with a -function attraction as the
system crosses over from weak-coupling (BCS-type) to strong-coupling
(Bose-type) superconductivity in three and two dimensions.Comment: Replaced with journal version. Insignificant presentation changes.

Bose-Einstein condensation of nonzero-center-of-mass-momentum Cooper pairs
Cooper pair (CP) binding with both zero and nonzero center-of-mass momenta
(CMM) is studied with a set of renormalized equations assuming a short-ranged
(attractive) pairwise interfermion interaction. Expanding the associated
dispersion relation in 2D in powers of the CMM, in weak-to-moderate coupling a
term {\it linear} in the CMM dominates the pair excitation energy, while the
quadratic behavior usually assumed in Bose-Einstein (BE)-condensation studies
prevails for any coupling {\it only} in the limit of zero Fermi velocity when
the Fermi sea disappears, i.e., in vacuum. In 3D this same behavior is observed
numerically. The linear term, moreover, exhibits CP breakup beyond a threshold
CMM value which vanishes with coupling. This makes all the excited
(nonzero-CMM) BE levels with preformed CPs collapse into a single ground level
so that a BCS condensate (where only zero CMM CPs are usually allowed) appears
in zero coupling to be a special case in either 2D or 3D of the BE condensate
of linear-dispersion-relation CPs.Comment: Four pages including four figures. To be published in Physica

Nonadiabatic Superconductivity and Vertex Corrections in Uncorrelated Systems
We investigate the issue of the nonadiabatic superconductivity in
uncorrelated systems. A local approximation is employed coherently with the
weak dependence on the involved momenta. Our results show that nonadiabatic
vertex corrections are never negligible, but lead to a strong suppression of
with respect to the conventional theory. This feature is understood in
terms of the momentum-frequency dependence of the vertex function. In contrast
to strongly correlated systems, where the small -selection probes the
positive part of vertex function, vertex corrections in uncorrelated systems
are essentially negative resulting in an effective reduction of the
superconducting pairing. Our analysis shows that vertex corrections in
nonadiabatic regime can be never disregarded independently of the degree of
electronic correlation in the system.Comment: 4 pages, 3 eps fig
Linear to quadratic crossover of Cooper pair dispersion relation
Cooper pairing is studied in three dimensions to determine its binding energy
for all coupling using a general separable interfermion interaction. Also
considered are Cooper pairs (CPs) with nonzero center-of-mass momentum (CMM). A
coupling-independent {\it linear} term in the CMM dominates the pair excitation
energy in weak coupling and/or high fermion density, while the more familiar
quadratic term prevails only in the extreme low-density (i.e., vacuum) limit
for any nonzero coupling. The linear-to-quadratic crossover of the CP
dispersion relation is analyzed numerically, and is expected to play a central
role in a model of superconductivity (and superfluidity) simultaneously
accommodating a BCS condensate as well as a Bose-Einstein condensate of CP
bosons.Comment: 13 pages plus 2 figure
