Five decades after its discovery, the origin of superconductivity in SrTiO3 remains unexplained. Attempts to understand this extremely dilute superconductor have unveiled many peculiar properties: quantum paraelectricity in proximity to a quantum critical point, the existence of an anomalous plasmon, and violation of the Mott-Ioffe-Regel limit at room temperature consistent with strange metal behavior, etc. Here we will discuss superconductivity in doped SrTiO3 as well as features which have been proposed to be related to its superconducting mechanism.
Note: this talk will be held in-person only.
