Enhancement of Superconductivity in a Dirty Marginal Fermi Liquid

Abstract

We study superconductivity in a two-dimensional, disordered marginal Fermi liquid. At the semiclassical level, the transition temperature $T_c$ is strongly suppressed because marginal Fermi liquid effects destroy well-defined quasiparticles. However, we show that interference between quantum-critical collective modes must be included, and these enhance $T_c$, violating Anderson's theorem. Our results suggest that phase coherence in a disordered, quantum-critical system can survive and manifest in the form of collective excitations, despite the absence of coherent quasiparticles.
