Crossover from BCS to Composite Boson (Local Pair) Superconductivity in Quasi-2D systems

Abstract

The crossover from cooperative Cooper pairing to independent bound state (composite bosons) formation and condensation in quasi-2D systems is studied. It is shown that at low carrier density the critical superconducting temperature is equal to the temperature of Bose-condensation of ideal quasi-2D Bose-gas with heavy dynamical mass, meanwhile at high densities the BCS result remains valid. The evident nonmonotoneous behaviour of the critical temperature as function of the coupling constant (the energy of the two particle bound state) is a qualitative difference of quasi-2D crossover from 3D one.
