Abstract:
The Anderson theory of dirty superconductivity was
established a few years after the discovery of the BCS wave
function. Disregarding the rich properties in the one-particle
energy spectrum in dirty limit, the theory claimed that the
ground state condensate is translationally invariant and free
from Toulouse type of frustrations. This theory also set down
the foundation of dirty superconductivity in the presence of
external fields.
In this talk, I demonstrate the failure of the Anderson theory
in amorphous superconducting films in general and its connection
with Wigner–Dyson surmise. I will discuss the Chandrasekar–Glogston limit in which the nodes in one-particle wave
functions are shown to result in a novel superconducting glass
phase. I will also discuss why nature has tolerated the failure.
