Inhomogeneous superconductivity and the pseudogap phenomenon: splitting of the resistive and Meissner transitions, percolation threshold
Abstract
The pseudogap state is due to an inhomogeneous structure of the compound and is described by percolation theory. The Meissner and resistive transitions occur at different critical temperatures. The “giant” proximity effect and the impact of an external pressure are analyzed.
