Charge-$2e$ Superconductivity from a Disordered Pair Density Wave
Author(s): Julian May-Mann, Akshat Pandey, Zhengyan Darius Shi, and Steven A. Kivelson
We investigate the effects of disorder on a system that in the clean limit is a pair density wave (PDW) superconductor. The charge order of the clean PDW is inevitably lost (via Imry-Ma), but the fate of the superconducting order is less clear. Here, we consider a strongly inhomogeneous limit in whi… [Phys. Rev.
