Nonperturbative microscopic theory of superconducting fluctuations near a quantum critical point

We consider an anisotropic gap superconductor in the vicinity of the disorder-driven quantum critical point. Starting with the BCS Hamiltonian, we derive the Ginzburg-Landau action, which is a critical theory with the dynamic critical exponent, z=2. This allows us to use the parquet method to calculate the nonperturbative effect of quantum superconducting fluctuations on thermodynamics. We derive a general expression for the fluctuation magnetic susceptibility, which exhibits a crossover from the logarithmic dependence, chi proportional, variantlndeltan, valid beyond the Ginzburg region to chi proportional, variantln(1/5)deltan valid in the immediate vicinity of the transition (where deltan is the deviation from the critical disorder concentration). These nonperturbative results may describe the quantum critical behavior of overdoped high-temperature cuprates, disordered p-wave superconductors, and conventional superconducting films with magnetic impurities.
