Springer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,2190-5053"Doctoral thesis accepted by the University of Stuttgart, Germany".3-319-72801-6 Includes bibliographical references.Field-Theoretical Basics of Superconductivity -- Experimental Studies of Disordered NBN -- Thin films -- Experimental Studies of Granular Al Thin Films -- Experimental Studies of the Heavy -- Fermion Metal CeCoIn5.This thesis presents and discusses recent optical low-temperature experiments on disordered NbN, granular Al thin-films, and the heavy-fermion compound CeCoIn5, offering a unified picture of quantum-critical superconductivity. It provides a concise introduction to the respective theoretical models employed to interpret the experimental results, and guides readers through in-depth calculations supplemented with supportive figures in order to both retrace the interpretations and span the bridge between experiment and state-of-the art theory.Springer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,2190-5053SuperconductivitySuperconductorsMathematical physicsSpectroscopyMicroscopyElementary particles (Physics)Quantum field theoryStrongly Correlated Systems, Superconductivityhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P25064Theoretical, Mathematical and Computational Physicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19005Spectroscopy and Microscopyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P31090Elementary Particles, Quantum Field Theoryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P23029Superconductivity.Superconductors.Mathematical physics.Spectroscopy.Microscopy.Elementary particles (Physics).Quantum field theory.Strongly Correlated Systems, Superconductivity.Theoretical, Mathematical and Computational Physics.Spectroscopy and Microscopy.Elementary Particles, Quantum Field Theory.530.1433Pracht Uwe Santiagoauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1060171MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910300543403321Electrodynamics of Quantum-Critical Conductors and Superconductors2511525UNINA
