Introduction
Historically, the BCS mechanism for traditional superconductivity was confirmed through isotopic effect experiments. However, there is no definitive experiment that can uniquely determine the mechanism for high-temperature cuprate superconductors. Moreover, it remains uncertain which properties of high-Tc cuprates are intrinsic and which are side effects, despite the observation of numerous unusual behaviors. It is also challenging to explain why the electron-doped samples have significantly lower critical temperatures (Tc) than hole-doped samples by solely attributing the pairing force to antiferromagnetic fluctuations. Other peculiar behaviors, such as the linear temperature dependence of resistivity in the "normal state" above the pseudogap temperature, could also be linked to quantum criticality.
In recent years, the exploration of unconventional superconductivity has become a captivating area of research in modern condensed matter physics. Various intriguing phenomena have been discovered, including pair density wave (PDW) in kagome materials, topological Majorana modes in iron-based superconductors, and numerous new experimental findings in cuprate superconductors. Furthermore, the recent observation of superconductivity near 80 K in a nickelate under high pressure has opened up new possibilities for the search for high-temperature superconductivity. In this mini-workshop, we have renowned experts in high-temperature superconductivity and strongly correlated electron systems. They will come together to discuss the latest advancements, shedding light on high-temperature superconductivity and its potential for achieving room temperature superconductivity.
